OBP56H MODULATES MATING BEHAVIOR IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER

Obp56h Modulates Mating Behavior in Drosophila melanogaster

Social interactions in insects are driven by conspecific chemical signals that are detected via olfactory and gustatory neurons.Odorant binding proteins (Obps) transport volatile odorants to chemosensory receptors, but their effects on behaviors remain poorly characterized.Here, we report that RNAi knockdown of Obp56h gene expression in Drosophila

Contribution of Resident Memory CD8+ T Cells to Protective Immunity against Respiratory Syncytial Virus and Their Impact on Vaccine Design

Worldwide, human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is SEAL the most common etiological agent for acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRI).RSV-ALRI is the major cause of hospital admissions in young children, and it can cause in-hospital deaths in children younger than six months old.Therefore, RSV remains one of the pathogens deemed most imp

Effect of Adding Halloysite to Different Solid Biomass Fuels on Combustion Process in a Small-Scale Domestic Retort Boiler

Biomass combustion in small-scale boilers in Eastern Europe has recently become a very popular heating option.Biomass boilers are gradually replacing old, coal-fired installations, especially Hoodies/Fleece in the domestic sector.In comparison with coal, biomass contains more phosphorus, chlorine, and potassium, which may cause the corrosion, slagg

Short communication: Prevalence of deleterious variants causing recessive disorders in Italian Chianina, Marchigiana and Romagnola cattle

In the last two decades, the molecular cause of six monogenic autosomal recessive disorders has been identified in native Italian beef cattle: two different ATP2A1 variants for the pseudomyotonia congenita, the first in Chianina and Romagnola (PMT1) and the second in Romagnola (PMT2); a KDM2B variant for the paunch calf syndrome (PCS) in Marchigian
