Differential gene expression in the peripheral blood of Chinese Sanhe cattle exposed to severe cold stress

Livestock is an important food resource for the inhabitants of cold regions, such as northern Asia and alpine regions, where agriculture is limited. In these regions, cold stress largely affects livestock production, thereby reducing the productivity and survival of animals. Despite the importance of breeding cold-tolerant animals, few studies have investigated the .. Read More»

miR-133 inhibits pituitary tumor cell migration and invasion via down-regulating FOXC1 expression

D.S. Wang, H.Q. Zhang, B. Zhang, Z.B. Yuan, Z.K. Yu, T. Yang, S.Q. Zhang, Y. Liu and X.X. Jia

Many studies have shown that microRNA (miR)-133 functions as a tumor suppressor in a variety of metastatic cancers, including breast cancer, gastric cancer, and liver fibrosis. However, the influence of miR-133 on pituitary tumor malignancy has not yet been reported. The purpose of this study was to explore the role of miR-133 in pituitary tumor cell migration and i..

Consistency between molecular phylogeny and morphological classification of the Salix matsudana Koidz. complex (Salicaceae)

S.H. Du, Z.S. Wang, Y.X. Li, D.S. Wang and J.G. Zhang

The morphological species concept is based on morphological traits, which are often subject to subjectivity or artifact. Molecular evidence is needed to test the reliability of morphological classification of taxa that are controversial and to provide appropriate taxonomic delimitation. In this study, we used 15 single-copy nuclear loci and 2 chloroplast fragments to verify the morphological cl.. Read More»
