mnemiopsis leidyi population activities first were recorded during the coastal observations in 2001 in which its population considerably increased afterward and now sustained the southern caspian sea. maximum summer-autumn m. leidyi abundance was recorded in euphotic layer in 2002 (851±85 ind.m-3) and maximum biomass was in 2001 with 48.1±14.4 g.m-3) while minimum were in aphotic layer. in year...

Rising tuition costs have forced university students to become creative in finding ways to fund their education. Some female university students have decided that ova donation may be an acceptable alternative in which to pay for their tuition. This alternative presents itself because of the insufficient number of ova available for assisted reproduction and emerging stem cell technologies. Young...

pattern of feeding and reproduction of amblypharyngodon mola (hamilton, 1822) was studied in two floodplain lakes of north 24 parganas districts of west bengal in india during 2011.  results indicated that the fish exhibited a predominantly herbivorous diet with algae as the main content of gut. a long, thin walled, coiled gut and closely packed filamentous gill racker suited this feeding habit...

We used an inappropriate electron photomicrograph in our published paper [1]. The Figure 6C should be replaced with the electron photomicrograph shown in Figure 1 here. Figure legend for this picture is not changed. A murine model of ulcerative colitis: induced with sinusitis-derived superantigen and food aller-gen. which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, p...

Sexual shallow water hermatypic was studied December 2011 November 2012. simultaneous hermaphrodite with ovary testis project i...

interleukin (il)-25, a cytokine of il-17 family, can activate p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases(mapk) and nuclear factor(nf)-κb pathways to propagate th2 responses. the allergic rhinitis mouse model was established by stimulating balb/c mouse with ovalbumin (ova). then we detected expression of il-25 and downstream p38mapk and nf-κb. the expression of il-25, p38mapk and nf-κb were detected ...

Activin A, a member of the TGFβ superfamily, is involved in physiological processes such as cell differentiation, tissue homeostasis, wound healing, reproduction, and in pathological conditions, such as fibrosis, cancer, and asthma. Activin enhances mast cell maturation, as well as regulatory T-cell and Langerhans cell differentiation. In this study we investigated the potential role of activin...

Abstract Oophagous reproduction (i.e., consumption of unfertilized ova in utero) sharks has been hypothesized to result fewer but larger pups relative those produced by viviparous with different modes maternal nutrient transfer. We compared pup and litter sizes reported the literature for 106 shark species lecithotrophic viviparity, oophagy, placental viviparity as methods transfer during pregn...
