This experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of dried chlorella powder (Chlorella vulgaris; DCP) and chlorella growth factor (CGF) on growth performance, serum characteristics, meat qualities and humoral immune responses in broiler chicks. A total of 1050 day-old Ross male broiler chicks were randomly divided into 35 pens (30 chicks/pen) and subjected to one of seven dietary treat...

A complex set of extracellular signals is required for neural crest (NC) specification. However, how these signals function to coordinate cell-cycle progression and differentiation remains poorly understood. Here, we report in Xenopus a role for the transcription factor signal transducers and activators of transcription-3 (Stat3) in this process downstream of FGF signalling. Depletion of Stat3 ...

After induction and specification in the ectoderm, at the border of the neural plate, the neural crest (NC) population leaves its original territory through a delamination process. Soon afterwards, the NC cells migrate throughout the embryo and colonize a myriad of tissues and organs where they settle and differentiate. The delamination involves a partial or complete epithelium-to-mesenchyme tr...

The neural crest (NC) cells have been called the 'explorers of the embryos' because they migrate all over the embryo where they differentiate into a variety of diverse kinds of cells. In this work, we analyse the role of different molecules controlling the migration of NC cells. First, we describe the strong similarity between the process of NC migration and metastasis in tumour cells. The epit...

Present study was conducted to assess the efficacy of Escherichia Coli derived phytase alone or with citric acid (CA) given inorganic phosphorus (P) free broiler diet. Ninety six one-day old COBB-500 male broilers were divided into four groups and fed one following diets for a period 35 days: positive control (PC) diet formulated based on NRC (1994) recommendations, negative (NC) (inorganic P d...

Client-therapist interactions were studied in 14 positive-change (PC) and 14 negative-change or nonchange (NC) therapies with the same therapists and similar clients. Aggregated structural analysis of social behavior (SASB) scores showed increasingly dissimilar interaction styles between client and therapist in NC therapies. First-lag transition analyses of SASB codings of Sessions 3, 12, and 2...
