Chordin, Chordin-like 1, and Chordin-like 2 are secreted bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists with highly conserved Chordin-like cysteine-rich domains.Recently, Brorin and Brorin-like have been identified as new Chordin-like BMP antagonists.A Chordin ortholog, Short gastrulation, has been identified in Drosophila, a protostome, but not othe
The Actinomycetales order is one of great genetic and functional diversity, including diversity in the production of secondary MILKY OAT SEED metabolites which have uses in medical, environmental rehabilitation, and industrial applications.Secondary metabolites produced by actinomycete species are an abundant source of antibiotics, antitumor agents
Hookworms are soil-transmitted helminths that use immune-evasive strategies to persist in the human duodenum where they are responsible for anemia and protein loss.Given their location and immune regulatory effects, hookworms likely impact the bacterial microbiota.However, microbiota studies struggle to deconvolute the effect of hookworms from conf
Microgas turbines (MGT) are an alternative for small-scale energy production; however, their small size becomes a drawback since it enhances the heat transfer among their components.Moreover, heat transfer drives to temperature gradients which become higher during transient cycles like start-up.The influence of different start-up curves on temperat
