Tardigrades are able to tolerate almost complete dehydration through transition to a metabolically inactive state, called "anhydrobiosis". Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins are heat-soluble proteins involved in the desiccation tolerance of many anhydrobiotic organisms. Tardigrades, Ramazzottius varieornatus, however, express predominantly tardigrade-unique heat-soluble proteins: CAHS (...

the present study was conducted to investigate the effects of ensiling pistachio by-product (pbp) on nutrient value, some physical and chemical parameters. fresh pbp was ensiled into a trench silo for three months and simultaneously amount of pbp was dried in front of the sun. chemical composition, buffering capacity, water holding capacity, protein fractionation according to cornell net carboh...

background: vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) is a coordinate regulator of physiological angiogenesis during embryogenesis, skeletal growth and reproductive functions. there are several types of vegf, including vegf165. vegfs stimulate endothelial cell growth, angiogenesis, and capillary permeability. low induction temperature is a major factor for expression of the recombinant vegf165 ...

Oysters are bivalve molluscs in the family Osteridae of the order Ostereoida and are found throughout the world. Quality of stored muscle of oyster, Crossostrea glomerata depends on the temperature and storage time. Investigation on factors responsible for spoilage of oyster meat in refrigerator (7±2°C); in term of biochemical indices, indicated that in 1-2 days the following changes...
