Flexibility, Photothermal Property, Antibacterial Ability, and Mineralization Activity of Cu/Mn-Doped Inorganic Nanofibers.

Inorganic nanofibers have emerged as a promising frontier in biomedical research thanks to their unique nanomorphology and bioactivity. Furthermore, the ions released from these inorganic biomaterials play a crucial role in determining cell identity and driving tissue-specific functions. Notably, Cu and Mn, which are essential trace elements in the human body, play significant roles in promoting bone health and participating in metabolic processes.

Effects of nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms of the , and genes on the growth traits of Ujumqin sheep.

Sheep body size can directly reflect the growth rates and fattening rates of sheep and is also an important index for measuring the growth performance of meat sheep. In this study, high-resolution resequencing data from four sheep breeds (Dorper sheep, Suffolk sheep, Ouessant sheep, and Shetland sheep) were analyzed. The nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms of three candidate genes (, , and ) were also genotyped in 642 healthy Ujumqin sheep using MALDI-TOFMS and the genotyping results were associated with growth traits.

Identification of body size characteristic points based on the Mask R-CNN and correlation with body weight in Ujumqin sheep.

The measurements of body size data not only reflect the physical fitness, carcass structure, excellent growth condition, and developmental relationship among tissues and organs of animals but are also critical indicators to measure the growth and development of sheep. Computer vision-based body size identification is a non-contact and stress-free method. In this study, we analyzed different body size traits (height at wither, body slanting length, chest depth, chest circumference, shank circumference, hip height, shoulder width, and rump width) and the body weight of 332 Ujumqin sheep and significant correlations ( < 0.

Comparison of porcine milk microRNA expression in milk exosomes versus whole swine milk and prediction of target genes.

Milk exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) are important for postnatal growth and immune system maturation in newborn mammals. The functional hypothesis of milk exosomal miRNAs and their potential bioavailability in milk to newborn mammals were investigated. Briefly, 37 exosomal miRNAs were upregulated compared to miRNAs found outside the exosomes.

MicroRNA-mRNA Regulatory Networking Fine-Tunes Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Synthesis and Metabolism in the Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goat.

Fatty acid composition is an important aspect of meat quality in ruminants. Improving the beneficial fatty acid level in cashmere goat meat is important to its economic value. To investigate microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs that regulate or coregulate polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) synthesis and metabolism in the Inner Mongolia cashmere goat, we used longissimus dorsi muscle (WLM) and biceps femoris muscle (WBM) for transcript-level sequencing.

C-S Coupling of DNA-Conjugated Aryl Iodides for DNA-Encoded Chemical Library Synthesis.

Thioethers have been widely found in biologically active compounds, including pharmaceuticals. In this report, a highly efficient approach to on-DNA construction of thioethers via Cu-promoted Ullmann cross-coupling between DNA-conjugated aryl iodides and thiols is developed. This methodology was demonstrated with medium to high yields, without obvious DNA damage.
