Ferroptosis is a novel discovered iron-dependent mode of regulated cell death (RCD) which characterized non-apoptosis. Researches have shown the effect of ferroptosis in the biological activities of tumors. But there is no relevant study showing the relationship between ferroptosis-related genes and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In this study, we paid attention to several ferroptosis-related lncRNAs in head an...

One of the most striking exceptions to strict maternal inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in the animal kingdom is a system called doubly uniparental inheritance (DUI), which exists in several bivalve species. DUI is characterized by the presence of two distinct sex-associated mitochondrial lineages: one transmitted through eggs (F-type mtDNA) and the other through sperm (M-type mtDNA). Presently, most known species exhi...

An estimation of the utilization of endogenous nutrients from the yolk sac that occurs during embryonic and early larval development can be a valuable approach to studying the nutritional requirements of fish larvae. In this study, fertilized eggs, embryos (before the membrane, 24 hours after fertilization), newly-hatched larvae (0-d-old), and open-mouthed larvae (3-day-old, unfed rotifers) samples of cobia ( Rachycentron cana...

In intensive inland fish farming, discharge of untreated effluents adversely affects adjacent water bodies and causes water pollution. Thus, it is highly necessary to treat the effluents from inland fish farm. In this study, we built a commercial-scale integrated constructed wetland (CW) system with vertical subsurface flow, and monitored the purifying effect. During fish farming and discharge of effluents periods, the water s...

The wingless-related integration site (Wnt) signaling pathway plays an essential role in embryonic development and nervous system regulation. It is critically involved in multiple types of neuropathic pain (NP), such as HIV-related NP, cancer pain, diabetic neuralgia, multiple sclerosis-related NP, endometriosis pain, and other painful diseases. Wnt signaling is also implicated in the pain induced by sciatic nerve compression...
