Graphene oxide-assisted optimized narrow-thermal-cycling amplification for accurate detection of Salmonella spp.

Salmonella is a rod-shaped, Gram-negative zoonotic pathogen that poses a serious global socioeconomic and public health threat. Rapid and accurate detection of Salmonella spp. is critical for effective control of its infection.

PPP2R2A affects embryonic implantation by regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of Hu sheep endometrial stromal cells.

Embryonic implantation is a complex reproductive physiological process in mammals. Although several endometrial proteins affecting embryonic implantation have been reported in the past, there are still potential endometrial proteins that have been neglected, and their specific regulatory mechanisms are unclear. This study demonstrated that protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit B55α (PPP2R2A) served as a novel regulator in medication of sheep embryonic implantation in vitro.

Effects of SPATA6 on proliferation, apoptosis and steroidogenesis of Hu sheep Leydig cells in vitro.

This study aimed to investigate the expression pattern of spermatogenesis associated protein 6 (SPATA6) in Hu sheep testis and to ascertain the effects of SPATA6 on sheep Leydig cells (LCs) function linked to spermatogenesis. In the present study, we detected a 1970 bp cDNA fragment of SPATA6 included a 1467 bp coding sequence which encoded 487 amino acids. Meanwhile, sheep SPATA6 shared 51.

ZEA exerts toxic effects on reproduction and development by mediating Dio3os in mouse endometrial stromal cells.

Zearalenone (ZEA) and imprinted long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are both closely related to reproduction and development. However, whether they have connections in regulating reproduction and development is not clear yet. The aim of this research is to investigate their relationship.

Evaluation of deoxynivalenol-induced toxic effects on mouse endometrial stromal cells: Cell apoptosis and cell cycle.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a type B trichothecene mycotoxin which has toxic effects on humans and animals. Although DON has been studied in various cell types for its cytotoxicity, there is litter information about the effects of DON on mouse endometrial stromal cells (ESCs). Thus, in this study, we investigated the toxic effects of DON on mouse ESCs and its possible mechanisms.

Exploration of ZEA cytotoxicity to mouse endometrial stromal cells and RNA-seq analysis.

Because zearalenone (ZEA) causes harmful influence to animals and widely exists in the world, the researches on ZEA have never stopped. However, the mechanisms of ZEA on proliferation, cycle, and apoptosis in endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) remain poorly defined. Therefore, the purpose of our study was to explore the effects of ZEA to ESCs and demonstrate them by transcriptomic analysis.

Advances in nanopore sequencing technology.

Much tremendous break through have been obtained in recent years for nanopore sequencing to achieve the goal of $1000 genome. As a method of single molecule sequencing, nanopore sequencing can discriminate the individual molecules of the target DNA strand rapidly due to the current blockages by translocating the nucleotides through a nano-scale pore. Both the protein-pores and solid-state nanopore channels which called single nanopore sequencing have been studied widely for the application of nanopore sequencing technology.
