Abstract Background Scooters The degeneration of retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) cells results in severe diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that causes blindness in millions of individuals.Results We report that targeting GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS) alleviates Alu RNA-induced immune responses and cytotoxicity in RPE.We
Abstract Background A series of Rps (resistance to Pytophthora sojae) genes have been protecting soybean from the root and stem rot disease caused by the Oomycete pathogen, Phytophthora sojae.Five Rps genes were mapped to the Rps1 locus located near the 28 cM map position on molecular linkage group N of the composite genetic soybean map.Among these
The bearing is a component of the support shaft that guides the rotational movement of the shaft, widely used in the mechanical industry and also called Collections a mechanical joint.In bearing fault diagnosis, the accuracy much depends on the feature extraction, which always needs a lot of training samples and classification in the commonly used
Numerical models are used to analyze the complex behaviour of magnetically levitated droplets in the context of determining their thermophysical properties.We focus on a novel method reported in Tsukada et al.[4] which uses periodic laser heating to determine the thermal conductivity of an electromagnetically levitated droplet in the presence of a
