Abstract In contrast to Ag-specific αβ T cells, γδ cells can kill malignantly transformed in a manner that does not require the recognition of tumor-specific Ags. Although such observations have contributed emerging view provide protective innate immunosurveillance against certain malignancies, particularly those epithelial origin, they also rationale for developing novel clinical approaches exploit antitumor properties treatment cancer. Using TRAMP, transgenic mouse model prostate cancer,...
Abstract Cancer cells tend to utilize aerobic glycolysis even under normoxic conditions, commonly called the “Warburg effect.” Aerobic often directly correlates with malignancy, but its purpose, if any, in metastasis remains unclear. When wild-type KISS1 suppressor is expressed, decreases and oxidative phosphorylation predominates. However, when missing secretion signal peptide (ΔSS), invasion are no longer suppressed continue metabolize using glycolysis. KISS1-expressing have 30% 50% more...
Frass is the by-product of larval meal industry and includes waste, exoskeleton sheds residual feed ingredients. Experimental frass was derived from larvae black solder flies fed distillers' dried grains with solubles had a protein fat content 216 60 g/kg, respectively. A 10-week study conducted to evaluate effect dietary levels on growth, utilization, body proximate mineral composition channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus. Five diets containing 0, 50, 100, 200 300 g per kg diet were catfish...
In aquaponic systems, adding supplemental nutrients to enhance plant production is common. Frass, which the manure of insects, can be used fish and production, but no study has yet examined potential both using a dietary approach in an system. this 8-week study, channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) juveniles were fed diets with, or without, 10% black solider fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSFL) frass Each system had two different bed types; floating raft media. consisted three stevia...
The antibacterial activities of chitosan (CS) and its derivative oligosaccharide lactate (COL) were evaluated against Aeromonas hydrophila, Edwardsiella ictaluri Flavobacterium columnare, three highly pathogenic bacteria warmwater finfish.The magnitude mode antimicrobial action on Gram-negative bacterial pathogens was investigated with an emphasis examining the inhibition growth weakening barrier functions. Both CS COL exhibited activity all tested their dose-dependent. completely inhibited...
Short-term feed deprivation (or fasting) is a common occurrence in aquacultured fish species whether due to season, production strategies, or disease. In channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) fasting impacts susceptibility several bacterial pathogens including Flavobacterium columnare, the causative agent of columnaris As gains entry through gills and skin fish, we examined here changes transcriptional regulation induced these surface mucosal tissues short-term (7 day) fasting. RNA-seq...
Frass, a by-product of the larval meal industry, is heterogeneous and includes excrement, exoskeleton sheds residual feed ingredients along with abundant nutrients, chitin beneficial microbes. The present study was performed to evaluate changes in growth, utilization, body composition, hematology, serum chemistry, immune responses disease resistance hybrid tilapia, Nile x Mozambique (Oreocromis niloticus O. mozambique) fed diets containing frass from black soldier fly larvae, Hermetia...
Streptococcus iniae is a problematic gram-positive bacterium negatively affecting Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), one of the main aquacultural species produced worldwide. The aim this study was to identify genetic architecture survival S. and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) linked quantitative trait loci (QTL) related challenge. With purpose, from Spring Genetics breeding program were sent controlled challenge test where phenotypes scored as dead for fish that died during...
Eighteen immature Greenland sharks (Somniosus microcephalus (Bloch and Schneider) 1801) were captured during the course of a study on biology narwhal, Monodon monoceros. Most had been feeding offal resulting from whaling operation fish seal meat discarded at campsite. Other food consumed included two egg cases arctic skate, Raja hyperborea, previously unrecorded this locality. Four narwhals one white whale attacked in nets, removing large chunks skin blubber carcasses.
