This gene pyramiding strategy is based on the idea of efficiently pyramiding genes of interest by crosses and selection to obtain a population with favorable alleles from different breeds or lines, which is called an ideal population. We investigate impacts of some factors on the pyramiding efficien...

The development of ovarian follicles in poultry is a key factor affecting the performance of egg production. Ovarian follicle development is regulated via the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, and β-catenin, encoded by CTNNB1, is a core component of this pathway. In this study, using ovary GCs from l...

Abstract Most of the global climate changes are closely associated with volcanic activity. However, the link between global cooling during the Ordovician‐Silurian (O‐S) transition and volcanism remains unclear due to limited constraints on large volcanic events before, during, and after the peak of...

Surface cracks are key indicators of landslide deformation, crucial for early landslide identification and deformation pattern analysis. However, due to the complex terrain and landslide extent, manual surveys or traditional digital image processing often face challenges with efficiency, precision,...

Background Right now, epidemiological research examining the connection between blood heavy metal exposure and chronic coughing is still deficient. Therefore, the survey was aimed at the effects of multiple heavy metals on chronic cough.Method In this investigation, 2647 individuals from NHANES were...

Arabinoxylan (AX) content in barley grains is an important quality determinant when barley is used as raw material of malt or beer production. The cultivar and environmental variations of total arabinoxylan (TAX), water extractable arabinoxylan (WEAX) and endoxylanase activity (EA) were investigated...

Fatty liver disease is prevalent during parturition in dairy cattle. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel, sensitive biomarkers for the early diagnosis of the metabolic disorders. Macroproteomics revealed that the faecal microbial community changes significantly when animal develops f...

Accurate seismic performance assessment of flexure-shear critical reinforced concrete (RC) columns necessitates precise hysteresis modeling that captures their distinct cyclic characteristics—particularly pronounced strength degradation, stiffness deterioration, and pinching effects. However, existi...

The change of cell polarity is usually associated with invasion and metastasis. Partial reverse cell polarity in IDC-NOS may play a role in lymphatic tumor spread. Rac1 is a kind of polarity related protein. It plays an important role in invasion and metastasis in tumors. We here investigated the ex...

Hypoxia is a hallmark of aggressive prostate cancer, but how it disrupts lineage-specific transcriptional programs to drive progression remains unclear. Here, we identify the HIF1α-PHD1-FOXA1 axis as a critical mediator of hypoxic adaptation and androgen signaling suppression. Using genome-wide prof...
