Abstract Background In Pump the genetic analysis of binary traits with one observation per animal, animal threshold models frequently give biased heritability estimates.In some cases, this problem can be circumvented by fitting sire- or sire-dam models.However, these models are not appropriate in cases where individual records exist on parents.Ther
Abstract Fibroblasts derived from the progeroid Werner Blood Pressure Monitors syndrome show reduced replicative lifespan and a "stressed" morphology, both alleviated using the MAP kinase inhibitor SB203580.However, interpretation of these data is problematical because although SB203580 has the stress-activated kinases p38 and JNK1/2 as its preferr
The aim of the paper was to discuss different effects, such as, among others, agglomeration of selected nanoparticles, particularly those from zirconia, on the tribological behavior of lubricants.The explanation of the difference between the concepts of ‘aggregation’ and ‘agglomeration’ for ZrO2 nanoparticles is included.The
Abstract This editorial piece co-authored by the Senior Editors at Microbiome aims to highlight current challenges in the field of environmental and host-associated microbiome research.We also take the opportunity to clarify our expectations for the Dishwasher Tray Rail Cap articles submitted to the journal.At Microbiome, we are seeking studies tha
