The release of transgenes into the environment by transgenic plant species is a significant ecological concern, and consequently a containment method for these genetically modified organisms is highly sought after. For poplar trees, an option for containment is to produce trees that do not flower and therefore cannot spread genetic...

Background: Main objectives were to determine to what extent Smartamine M (SM) supplementation to a prepartal higher-energy diet could alter neutrophil (PMN) and liver tissue immunometabolic biomarkers, and whether those responses were comparable to those in cows fed a prepartal lower-energy diet (CON).
Results: Twenty-eight multiparous Holstein cows were fed...

Because rapamycin, an inhibitor of the nutrient sensor mammalian target of rapamycin, and dietary restriction both increase life span of mice, it has been hypothesized that they act through similar mechanisms. To test this hypothesis, we compared various biological parameters in dietary restriction mice (40% food restriction) and mice fed...
Circadian clocks maintain temporal homeostasis by generating daily output rhythms in molecular, cellular, and physiological functions. Output rhythms, such as sleep/wake cycles and hormonal fluctuations, tend to deteriorate during aging in humans, rodents, and fruit flies. However, it is not clear whether this decay is caused by defects in the...
A Sebastes-specific complementary DNA (cDNA) microarray was developed to identify potential biomarkers involved in the capture stress and recovery of Sebastes species if they are assisted in returning to their original depth of capture following barotrauma. Black rockfish Sebastes melanops were exposed to simulated decompression from 450 kPa (c. 35...
In many disease settings, it is likely that only a subset of the disease population will exhibit
certain genetic or phenotypic differences from the healthy population. Therefore, when seeking to identify
genes or other explanatory factors that might be related to the disease state, we might expect a mixture
