Maintaining B-cell tolerance – the elimination of self-reactive B-cells – is literally a life-long challenge because the B-cell receptor mutates to generate millions of new variants during each immune response in the...

Abstract Objectives To construct and validate a psychological measure called the Financial Risk-Taking Scale (FRTakS) and to translate, adapt, and validate a psychological measure called the Financial Risk Tolerance Sc...

Abstract Actinidia rufa is a valuable species for hybridization and introgressive breeding of new kiwifruit cultivars due to its exceptional tolerance to waterlogging. In this study, a chromosome-level genome of A. rufa ...

Tolerance to extreme temperatures, thermal limits, and the mechanisms of thermoregulation are related to internal functions of insects and partly define their ecological niche. We study the association between daily acti...

IntroductionPennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) is an emerging intermediate oilseed crop grown in the offseason between primary summer crops to produce three cash crops in two years. Previous efforts to improve seed oil qual...

In this study, the effects of salinity (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 mM NaCl) and drought stress on the germination and seedling development of five Cynodon dactylon genotypes (A, B, C, D, and Gobi), collected from dif...

Natural hybridization commonly produces individuals with intermediate morphological and genetic characteristics, but their response to environmental stress is still uncertain, with some studies showing that transgressive...

Emotion Regulation (ER) has been identified as a factor that may be related to psychopathological symptoms. However, evidence about the relationship between ER and psychopathological symptoms is still unspecific. Moreove...

"Several works have addressed the issue of fault tolerance in multirotors in case of a rotor total failure, particularly their ability to keep full independent control of attitude and altitude. It has been proven that to...

Abstract Bacterial persisters show tolerance to bactericidal antibiotics and play essential roles in chronic infections; however, the general mechanisms underlying persister formation and antibiotic tolerance remain insu...

Abstract Bioremediation offers a sustainable strategy for removing heavy metals from water by transforming toxic pollutants into less hazardous forms. In this study, a highly metal-tolerant bacterium, Lysinibacillus fusi...

HOPX (homeodomain-only protein), a member of the homeodomain family, is involved in various developmental processes and immune regulation. This study highlights HOPX expression in human placenta and its potential role in...

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) synthesizes NO from the substrate L-arginine (Arg). NOS with distinct biochemical properties were characterized from two photosynthetic microorganisms, the unicellular algae Ostreococcus tauri...

Abstract Introduction Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is closely related to insulin resistance (IR) and is usually diagnosed in mid-pregnancy, limiting opportunities for early risk identification. We evaluated six si...

Soil salinity can impair carbon fixation and ultimately decrease crop yield. To counteract this detrimental effect and maintain cellular homeostasis and productivity under stress, plants rely on metabolic and growth adap...

Abstract The effect of different Concentration (1% -5%) of NaCl on growth of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv.viciae was studied by their addition to Manitol yeast extract agar medium and observing the bacterial growth and tol...

Amphibians are considered one of the groups most susceptible to chemical contamination, therefore are good bio-indicators of aquatic pollution. Synergistic effects of temperature and pesticides have been found in amphibi...

Drought stress limits wheat productivity at terminal stage by disrupting physiological activities, impairing cellular homeostasis, and decreasing grain yield. Present study elucidated the role of potassium silicate (K2Si...

Water limitation represents the main environmental constraint affecting crop yield worldwide. Photosynthesis is a primary drought target, resulting in over-reduction of the photosynthetic electron transport chain and inc...

The influence of fatty acid composition of the diets on the productive performance and on cold and heat tolerance of juvenile freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare), in three different phases, was studied. Phase I s...

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasingly common, primarily because of increases in the prevalence of a sedentary lifestyle and obesity. Whether type 2 diabetes can be prevented by interventions that affect th...

The physiological and molecular mechanisms of tolerance to osmotic and ionic components of salinity stress are reviewed at the cellular, organ, and whole-plant level. Plant growth responds to salinity in two phases: a ra...

We examine and refine the Fagerström Tolerance Questionnaire (FTQ: Fagerström, 1978). The relation between each FTQ item and biochemical measures of heaviness of smoking was examined in 254 smokers. We found that the n...

For any given research area, one cannot tell how many studies have been con-ducted but never reported. The extreme view of the "file drawer problem " is that journals are filled with the 5 % of the stud...
