A NOVEL FAS LIGAND PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN CELL APOPTOSIS OF CRASSOSTREA HONGKONGENSIS: MOLECULAR CLONING, EXPRESSION PROFILES AND FUNCTIONAL IDENTIFICATION OF CHFASL

BackgroundApoptosis regulates normal development, homeostasis, immune tolerance and response to environmental stress by eliminating unwanted or diseased cells, and plays a key role in non-specific immunity of invertebrates.The exogenous pathway mediated by death receptors and death ligands is a very important pathway for cell apoptosis.Death ligand

A thermal insulation layer is often deposited on the lining structure of tunnels in cold regions to solve the problem of frost damage.When the air humidity in the tunnel becomes excessively high, the thermal insulation material tends to absorb water, leading to significant changes in thermal conductivity.Moreover, the temperature differences betwee

A primary feature of drug addiction is the compulsive use despite negative consequences.A Wooden Balls general consensus is emerging on the capacity of addictive substances to co-opt synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity in brain circuits which are involved in reinforcement and reward processing.A current hypothesis is that drug-driven neur
