In embryonic stem (ES) cells, bivalent chromatin domains with overlapping repressive (H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation) and activating (H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation) histone modifications mark the promoters of more than 2,000 genes.To gain insight into the structure and function of bivalent domains, we mapped key histone modifications and subunits of Po
The Effect of Wheat Residues and Vermicompost on the Quality Characteristics of Corn (Zea mays L.) Forage and Soil Fertility
IntroductionOne of the most significant agricultural challenges in arid and semi-arid regions is the decline in organic matter in agricultural soils, which leads to reduced crop yields and increased production costs.This depletion is primarily due to the annual removal of soil nutrients through crop harvesting and the extraction of organic matter.F
Differential Affinity Chromatography Coupled to Mass Spectrometry: A Suitable Tool to Identify Common Binding Proteins of a Broad-Range Antimicrobial Peptide Derived from Leucinostatin
Leucinostatins are antimicrobial peptides with a broad range of activities against infectious agents as well as mammalian cells.The leucinostatin-derivative peptide ZHAWOC_6027 (peptide 6027) was tested in vitro and in vivo for activity against the intracellular apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii.While highly efficacious in vitro (EC50 = 2 nM)
Uncooperative Spacecraft Relative Navigation With LIDAR-Based Unscented Kalman Filter
Autonomous relative navigation is a critical functionality which needs to be developed to enable safe maneuvers of a servicing spacecraft (chaser) in close-proximity with respect to an uncooperative space target, in the frame of future On-Orbit Servicing or Active Debris Removal missions.Due to the uncooperative nature of the target, in these scena
