Vascular stretch injury is associated with blunt trauma, vascular surgical procedures, and harvest of human saphenous vein for use in vascular bypass grafting.A model of subfailure overstretch in rat abdominal aorta was developed to characterize surgical vascular stretch injury.Longitudinal stretch of rat aorta was characterized ex vivo.Stretch to
Abstract Background Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the four major oil crops in China.A sesame core collection (CC) was established in China in 2000, but no complete study on its genetic diversity has been carried out at either the phenotypic or molecular level.To provide technical guidance, a theoretical basis for further collection, effecti
In insects, a parental immune challenge can prepare and enhance offspring immune activity.Previous studies of such transgenerational immune priming (TGIP) mainly focused on a single offspring life stage.However, different developmental stages may be exposed Monoculars to different risks and show different susceptibility to parental immune priming.H
