DEVELOPMENT OF A PORCINE SKELETAL MUSCLE CDNA MICROARRAY: ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENTIAL TRANSCRIPT EXPRESSION IN PHENOTYPICALLY DISTINCT MUSCLES

Development of a porcine skeletal muscle cDNA microarray: analysis of differential transcript expression in phenotypically distinct muscles

Abstract Background Microarray profiling has the potential to illuminate the molecular processes that govern the phenotypic characteristics of porcine skeletal muscles, such as hypertrophy or atrophy, and the expression of specific fibre types.This information is not only important for understanding basic muscle biology but also provides underpinni

Characterization of Genome-Wide DNA Methylation and Hydroxymethylation in Mouse Arcuate Nucleus of Hypothalamus During Puberty Process

Background: Pulsatile pituitary gonadotropin secretion governed by hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is essential for the pubertal onset.The epigenetic mechanism underlying the activation of GnRH-dependent regulatory axis in hypothalamus remains elusive.This study aims to explore the potential correlation between the signature of D

Social network-based group intervention to promote uptake of cervical cancer screening in Uganda: study protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial

Abstract Introduction Cervical cancer (CC) is the most common cancer and accounts for one quarter of all cancer-related deaths among women in Uganda, where lifetime CC screening is estimated to be as low as 5%.This study will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a social network-based group intervention designed to e
