The force developed by actively lengthened muscle depends on different structures across different scales of lengthening.For small perturbations, the active response of muscle is well captured by a linear-time-invariant (LTI) system: a stiff spring in parallel with a light damper.The force response of muscle to longer stretches is better represente

Plastic mulch films are used globally in crop production but incur considerable disposal and environmental pollution issues.Biodegradable plastic mulch films (BDMs), an alternative to polyethylene (PE)-based films, are designed to be tilled into the soil where they are Leave In Mist expected to be mineralized to carbon dioxide, water and microbial

The intention was to evaluate the possible in vivo genotoxic potential in different cell-types, of a methanol extract obtained from the plant stem of Cotinus coggygria Scop., using the sex-linked recessive lethal (or SLRL) test and alkaline Shark Cartilage comet assay.The SLRL test, revealed the genotoxic effect of this extract in postmeiotic and p

BackgroundInosine monophosphate (IMP) is naturally present in poultry muscle and plays a key role in improving meat flavour.However, IMP deposition is regulated by numerous genes and complex molecular networks.In order to excavate key candidate genes that may regulate IMP synthesis, we performed proteome and metabolome analyses on the leg muscle, c
