Bacteria, which prey on other microorganisms, are commonly found in the environment.While some of Donation these organisms act as solitary hunters, others band together in large consortia before they attack their prey.Anecdotal reports suggest that bacteria practicing such a wolfpack strategy utilize antibiotics as predatory weapons.Consistent with
Saurophaganax maximus is the designation of a massive theropod dinosaur recovered from the Kenton Member of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in Oklahoma.The theropod was originally given the name Saurophagus maximus but was later revised to Saurophaganax maximus as the former did not conform to ICZN standards.Several autapomorphies were descri
Seed formation is a pivotal process in plant reproduction and Donation dispersal.It begins with megagametophyte development in the ovule, followed by fertilization and subsequently coordinated development of embryo, endosperm, and maternal seed coat.Two closely related MADS-box genes, SHATTERPROOF 1 and 2 (SHP1 and SHP2) are involved in specifying
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) pathogenesis involves the alteration of multiple liver-specific metabolic pathways.We systematically profiled cancer- and liver-related classes of metabolites in HCC and adjacent liver tissues and applied supervised machine learning to compare their potential yield for HCC biomarkers.Methods: Tumor and cor
