Virome analysis unveils a rich array of newly identified viruses in the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii.

The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is the second most widely cultured crustacean globally. As a highly invasive species with a worldwide distribution, P. clarkii presents a substantial risk for the transmission of viral pathogens to native aquatic organisms.

Virome Analysis Provides an Insight into the Viral Community of Chinese Mitten Crab .

Recent advances in viromics have led to the discovery of a great diversity of RNA viruses and the identification of a large number of viral pathogens. A systematic exploration of viruses in Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), one of the most important aquatic commercial species, is still lacking. Here, we characterized the RNA viromes of asymptomatic, milky disease (MD)-affected, and hepatopancreatic necrosis syndrome (HPNS)-affected Chinese mitten crabs collected from 3 regions in China.

Virome Analysis of Normal and Growth Retardation Disease-Affected Macrobrachium rosenbergii.

The giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is an important aquaculture species in China. Growth retardation disease (GRD) is a common contagious disease in , resulting in slow growth and precocious puberty in prawns, and has caused growing economic losses in the industry. To investigate the viral diversity of and identify potentially high-risk viruses linked to GRD, virome analysis of the GRD-affected and normal was carried out using next-generation sequencing (NGS).

[The modulation of pilose antler extract (PAE) on the proliferation of rat osteogenic cells UMR-106].

Objective: To investigate the modulation of pilose antler extract (PAE) on rat osteogenic cells UMR-106 in vitro.

Method: Component P2 of PAE was isolated by Sephacryl S-200HR gel filtration chromatography. The proliferative effects of P2 and other components isolated by Sephacryl S-200HR on UMR-106 cells were investigated by MTT assay.
