ADULT STEM CELLS AND NICHE CELLS SEGREGATE GRADUALLY FROM COMMON PRECURSORS THAT BUILD THE ADULT DROSOPHILA OVARY DURING PUPAL DEVELOPMENT

Adult stem cells and niche cells segregate gradually from common precursors that build the adult Drosophila ovary during pupal development

Production of proliferative follicle cells (FCs) and quiescent escort cells (ECs) by follicle stem cells DSLR Lens (FSCs) in adult Drosophila ovaries is regulated by niche signals from anterior (cap cells, ECs) and posterior (polar FCs) sources.Here we show that ECs, FSCs, and FCs develop from common pupal precursors, with different fates acquired

Tailoring Mission Effectiveness and Efficiency of a Ground Vehicle Using Exergy-Based Model Predictive Control (MPC)

To ensure dominance over a multi-domain battlespace, energy and power utilization must be accurately characterized for the dissimilar operational conditions.Using MATLAB/Simulink in combination with multiple neural networks, we created a methodology which was simulated the energy dynamics of a ground vehicle in parallel to running predictive neural

Seroprevalence of hepatitis B virus in blood donors at a large teaching hospital of Pakistan: A potential health policy concern

BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B is an important public health problem for Pakistan.Being asymptomatic in many of the carriers, it needs screening to assess disease burden.Screening blood donors will not only help point out the subliminally diseased individuals but will also offer a boost to treatment rates and preclude the dreaded complications in the affe
