Hyperoxia Inhibits the Growth of Mouse Forebrain Oligodendrocyte Progenitors but Promotes Their Differentiation

Oligodendrocytes facilitate saltatory conduction and they support both neuronal and axonal survival; thus, when they are diseased or damaged, neurological problems ensue. Oligodendrocyte progenitors (OPCs) have been successfully isolated from rodents using magnetic beads, immunop...

Effect of the Δ12-acyl-lipid desaturase gene insert and expression under the control of the CBF1 promoter on resistance tobacco to the cold stress

Abstract The mechanisms of plant resistance and adaptation to low temperature and frost stress remain a very important topic for research, as they can directly and indirectly affect the productivity of the agricultural sector. Evolved plant defence systems are currently one of th...
