In vertebrates and invertebrates specialized cellular protrusions, called signaling filopodia or cytonemes, play an important role in cell-cell communication by carrying receptors and ligands to distant cells to activate various signaling Coasters pathways.In the chicken embryo, signaling filopodia were described in limb bud mesenchyme and in somit
In response to water deficiency in Northern China, a scheme called the Middle Route Project was devised under the South-to-North Water Transfer Division to divert water from the Han River, the biggest tributary of the Yangtze River, to supply two provinces (Henan and Hebei) and two municipalities (Beijing and Tianjin) in the north.The minimum water
The importance of patch quality for amphibians DAILY CONDITIONER is frequently overlooked in distribution models.Here we demonstrate that it is highly important for the persistence of endemic and endangered amphibians found in the threatened and fragile ecosystems that are the rocky plateaus in Western Maharashtra, India.These plateaus are ferricre
Fomites involved in influenza transmission are either hand- or droplet-contaminated.We evaluated the interactions of fomite characteristics and human behaviors affecting these routes using an Environmental Infection Transmission System (EITS) Senna Leaves model by comparing the basic reproduction numbers (R(0)) for different fomite mediated transmi
