Characterization of Meta-Keratin Biomaterials Derived from Human Hair: Applications for Fiber Development
… our approach to creating novel keratin fibers first involved an in depth study of the relationship between material composition and function. By understanding how the composition of our protein system affects the overall physical, mechanical and biological properties, we were able to …

Development of Computational Tools and Resources for Cotton microRNA Analysis
… miRNAs, and these miRNA target genes control development timing, organ development and response to environmental stress; thus miRNAs have been shown to play important roles in almost all biological and metabolic processes. Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), one of the most important fiber …

Balancing China's Seasonal Intercity Travel Demand: Alternatives for Freight Rail Expansion to Reduce Seasonal Passenger Rail Demand
… and rail connections; and, * to identify how development of China's freight-rail industry can or will influence the Spring Festival travel season. Spatial analysis using geographic information systems (GIS), statistical hypothesis testing, and economic analysis including location quotients …

The Cloning and Characterization of Two ROP/RAC G-Proteins from Gossypium Hirsutum
… (G-proteins) with important functions in plant development. Until recently, only three cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) Rop/Rac G-protein genes were sequenced, representing subfamilies III and IV of the plant monomeric Gprotein family. In this project, members of subfamilies II and I were cloned, …

FROM MUSCLE TO MEAT: MORPHO-FUNCTIONAL FOUNDATIONS FOR APPLICATIVE ASPECTS.
… biology, focusing on i) myogenesis -muscle development and growth-; ii) muscle morpho-functional characteristics; iii) future-oriented advancements in cell-based meat production. In livestock, particularly among native breeds, myogenesis is influenced by distinct genetic traits that also …

Integrative analysis of heterogeneous plant cell wall related data
… advances in omics and imaging technologies. This development provides additional perspectives of cell walls across a rapidly growing number of species, highlighting a myriad of architectures, compositions, and functions. Furthermore, rather than the component centric view, integrative analysis of …

The effects of maternal and postnatal infections with porcine reproductive and respiratory virus on muscle growth and development in piglets
… infection affects offspring skeletal muscle development. Additionally, it is unclear how viral infections mechanistically reduce skeletal muscle growth and protein accretion. Pregnant gilts were inoculated with PRRSV (P piglets) or sterile culture medium (C Piglets) at 80 days of gestation. …

Creation and characterization of mice with a mutation disrupting binding of a transcriptional repressor of insulin-like growth factor 2
… of myoblasts during embryonic and fetal development. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) identified in pigs in intron 3 of IGF2 disrupts a binding site for the transcriptional repressor ZBED6 leading to increased expression of IGF2. The SNP prevents binding of ZBED6 increasing IGF2 …
