Conventional culture systems for bovine embryos are unable to support sustained embryonic development until the developmentally mature blastocyst Shower Benches stage.Although we have previously developed an on-gel culture system that enables bovine blastocysts to complete cell segregation events at day (D) 10 following in vitro culture, the develo
Intraspecific variation in sex pheromones is a driver of reproductive isolation and speciation in insects.The False Codling Moth (FCM) Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a quarantine pest endemic to sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).The currently available precision control measures for FCM use female sex pheromone components to lure mal
Summary: Although emerging evidence reveals that vaping alters the function of the central nervous system, the effects of maternal vaping on offspring brain development remain elusive.Using a well-established in utero exposure model, we performed single-nucleus ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq) and RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) on prenatally e-cigarette-exposed r
The aims of this study are to revisit the Honeysuckle effect of high pressure on homogenization and the influence of pH on the emulsion droplet sizes.The high-pressure homogenization (HPH) involves two stages of processing, where the first stage involves in blending the coarse emulsion by a blender, and the second stage requires disruption of the c
