Regularities of the Natural Evolution of the Proliferative Process in Diabetic Retinopathy. The Concept of Remission of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy by S. V. Sdobnikova

“…Therefore, the scale reflecting the stages of evolution of newly formed vessels and the scale of severity reflecting the degree of threat to visual functions in PDR cannot be identical. Since the development and regression of neovessels is a reflection of multidirectional processes, the identification of the phase of PDR evolution is fundamental in the formation of research design. …”

Genome Mining of Terpene Synthases from Fourteen <i>Streptomyces</i> Strains by Yuanyuan Li, Xi Xiang, Zhiyuan Ren, Rui Wang, Minghui Xie, Gen Li, Xiaohui Yan, Zhilong Zhao, Zixin Deng, Min Xu, Anwei Hou

“…A total of forty-eight TPSs were identified and categorized through phylogenetic analysis, and five representative TPSs distantly related to known TPSs were selected for functional investigation. Biochemical assays revealed that TAC28_6116 is a sesquiterpene synthase producing thujopsan-2β-ol (<b>1</b>) and thujopsene (<b>2</b>), marking the first report of thujopsan-2β-ol production from a bacterial source. …”

Current status of transcriptome sequencing technology in ruminants by Cui JiaYu, Song Lili, Wang Dawei, Liu ZhiLin, Zhang Xin, Jia Zelin, Zhang Yuhang, Xiong Huisheng, Wang Xueli

“…During the lactation stage of ruminants, transcriptome sequencing is used to screen for differentially expressed genes in blood tissue, which can identify candidate functional genes for milk production traits. Transcriptome sequencing can detect genes with low expression levels, identify new gene transcripts and alternative splicing events, detect and analyze the biological regulatory mechanisms of the body, reveal differences in gene expression levels during breeding, and reveal the interaction between hosts and pathogens. …”
