(BMC Genomics, 2011-08-05)Background: Cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. (2n = 2 × = 14) and melon, C. melo L. (2n = 2 × = 24) are two important vegetable species in the genus Cucumis (family Cucurbitaceae). Both species have an Asian ... -
Synthesis of polylactic acid initiated through biobased antioxidants: Towards intrinsically active food packaging
(Polymers, 2020-05-21)Polylactide (PLA)-based polymers, functionalized with biobased antioxidants, were synthesized, to develop an intrinsically active, biobased and potentially biodegradable material for food packaging ... -
Systemic CD4 cytotoxic T cells improve protection against PRRSV-1 transplacental infection
(Frontiers in Immunology, 2023-01-17)Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the major swine pathogens causing reproductive failure in sows. Although modified-live virus (MLV) vaccines are available, ... -
Systems analysis reveals complex biological processes during virus infection fate decisions
(Genome Research, 2019-05-28)The processes and mechanisms of virus infection fate decisions that are the result of a dynamic virus-immune system interaction with either an efficient effector response and virus elimination or an ... -
