Canine somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a powerful technology that can be used to clone beloved companion dogs, produce valuable working dogs, rescue endangered canine breeds, and create genetically engineered dogs. Nevertheless, the application of this technology is hindered by the low developmental efficiency of canine SCNT embryos. It has been shown that in pig and horse cloning using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), compared with fibroblasts, as donor cells can enhance the developmental potential of SCNT embryos.

Tunable Fractal Morphogenesis in Reaction-Diffusion Crystallization: From Dendrites to Compact Aggregates.

ACS Omega

Department of Chemistry, American University of Beirut, P.O. Box 11-0236, Riad El-Solh, 1107 2020 Beirut, Lebanon.

Fractal growth in reaction-diffusion frameworks (RDF) offers a powerful paradigm for understanding self-assembly in chemical and materials systems. However, its connection to diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) remains underexplored. Here, we present the first quantitative demonstration of RDF-driven fractal crystallization of benzoic acid (BA), revealing a direct correlation among fractal dimension, diffusion rate, and gel-matrix chemistry.

infections represent a significant public health concern. Despite their clinical relevance, the genetic determinants underlying bacterial fitness and virulence remain incompletely characterized. In this study, we systematically identified genes involved in host adaptation by generating a transposon mutant library and integrating a infection model with transposon sequencing (Tn-seq) technology.

Thyroid hormones (THs) are essential regulators of metabolism, homeostasis, and development in metazoans. The canonical genomic pathway involves THs binding to nuclear thyroid hormone receptors (NTHRs), which modulate gene expression in vertebrates. In contrast, non-genomic pathways involve THs interacting with membrane-bound or cytoplasmic receptors.

The Asiatic apple leafminer, Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Matsumura), is a significant secondary pest of apple trees in Northeast Asia. To better understand its population dynamics, a population model based on temperature-developmental relationships was constructed. This model includes three sub-models: spring emergence, immature stage transition, and adult oviposition.
