Mass Spectrometric Detection of Cholesterol Oxidation in Bovine Sperm
(Oxford University Press, 2011-07-01)
We report on the presence and formation of cholesterol
oxidation products (oxysterols) in bovine sperm. Although
cholesterol is the most abundant molecule in the membrane of
mammalian cells and is ...
Anti-PD-L1 Immunotherapy of Chronic Virus Infection Improves Virus Control without Augmenting Tissue Damage by Fibrosis
(MDPI, 2024-05-17)
Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors, albeit commonly used against tumors, is
still at its infancy against chronic virus infections. It relies on the reinvigoration of exhausted T
lymphocytes to ...
Inter-laboratory comparison of methods to measure androstenone in pork fat
(Elsevier, 2011-04-26)
Today, different analytical methods are used by different laboratories to quantify androstenone in fat tissue. This study shows the
comparison of methods used routinely in different laboratories for ...

systems’ characterized by limited resources and socio-economic dynamics currently ...
A consensus linkage map for molecular markers and Quantitative Trait Loci associated with economically important traits in melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BMC, 2011-07-28)
Background: A number of molecular marker linkage maps have been developed for melon (Cucumis melo L.) over
the last two decades. However, these maps were constructed using different marker sets, thus, ...
Syntenic relationships between cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and melon (C. melo L.) chromosomes as revealed by comparative genetic mapping
(BMC, 2011-08-05)
Background: Cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. (2n = 2 × = 14) and melon, C. melo L. (2n = 2 × = 24) are two
