Recent Research Progress of Long Non-coding RNA

In general, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) refers to the transcripts that are greater than 200 nucleotides in length which cannot encode a protein but have influential functions. Recently, lncRNA has gradually become a hot spot in the study of biology. This review summarized the advances in unde... (29 Dec., 2018)

Immunohistochemical Research of the Expression of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) NCCRP-1 in Various Tissues

It is well known that non-specific cytotoxic cell is a kind of lymphocyte in teleosts, which plays an important role in nonspecific immunity by up-regulating inflammation response and releasing cytokines. NCCs are equivalents of NK cells in mammals. NCC in fishes distributes in tissues and org... (29 Dec., 2018)

The Expression Pattern of ArgAH1 and ArgAH2 Genes in Arabidopsis thaliana

Urea is the major nitrogen form supplied as fertilizer in agricultural production and also an important nitrogen metabolite in plants.
