Summary: Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) offer unprecedented opportunities for disease modeling and personalized medicine.However, PSC-derived cells exhibit fetal-like characteristics and remain immature in a dish.This has emerged as a major obstacle for their application for late-onset diseases.We previously showed that there is a neonatal arrest SA
Champagne coat color in horses is controlled by a single, autosomal-dominant gene (CH).The phenotype produced by this gene is valued by many horse breeders, but can be difficult to distinguish from the effect produced by the Cream coat color dilution gene (CR).Three sires and their families segregating for CH were tested by genome scanning with Win
Fall armyworm (FAW) was reported for the first time in Africa in 2016.FAW is widely distributed in Ethiopia, causing significant damage to maize.Nine synthetic insecticides belonging to different chemical groups and 11 pesticidal plants (botanicals) were tested for their efficacy against FAW under laboratory, greenhouse, and field conditions.In the
Ecosystems are undergoing unprecedented persistent deterioration due to unsustainable anthropogenic human activities, such as overfishing and deforestation, and the effects of such damage on ecological stability are uncertain.Despite recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies on regime shifts and tipping points, theoretical tools for u
Three scenarios for the future of the French agro-food system were specified for the territory draining into the Seine Bight, comprising Paris megacity and the Seine watershed.The first scenario assumes the pursuit of the current trend of opening and specialization of agriculture, as well as of concentration of population within the Paris agglomera
