MeSH headings : Animals; Cell Differentiation; Cell Line; Docosahexaenoic Acids / pharmacology; Down-Regulation; Eicosapentaenoic Acid / pharmacology; Insulin-Like Growth Factor II / genetics; Insulin-Like Growth Factor II / metabolism; MAP Kinase Signaling System; Mice; Muscle Development; Myoblasts / cytology; Myoblasts / drug effects; Myoblasts / metabolism; Myoglobin / genetics; Myoglobin / metabolism; Myosin Heavy Chains / genetics; Myosin Heavy Chains / metabolism; Myosin Light Chains / genetics; Myosin Light Chains / metabolism; Troponin / genetics; Troponin / metabolism

TL;DR: It is suggested that EPA and DHA exerted an inhibitory effect on myoblast proliferation and differentiation and downregulated muscle-related genes expression. (via Semantic Scholar)

MeSH headings : Carbon Dioxide; Denitrification; Nitrogen; Nitrous Oxide; Soil; Soil Microbiology

TL;DR: The results suggest that effective management of N sources may mitigate N2O emissions by negating eCO2-stimulation of soil denitrifying microbes and their activities. (via Semantic Scholar)

MeSH headings : Acids / metabolism; Antigens, Bacterial / genetics; Antigens, Bacterial / metabolism; Cells, Cultured; Cytokines / metabolism; Dendritic Cells / immunology; Dendritic Cells / microbiology; Drug Carriers; Drug Stability; Flagellin / genetics; Flagellin / metabolism; Genetic Vectors; Humans; Lactobacillus acidophilus / genetics; Lactobacillus acidophilus / metabolism; Peptide Hydrolases / metabolism; Recombinant Proteins / genetics; Recombinant Proteins / metabolism; Salmonella Vaccines / genetics; Salmonella Vaccines / immunology; Vaccines, Synthetic / genetics; Vaccines, Synthetic / immunology

TL;DR: Two recombinant L. acidophilus derivatives displaying Salmonella flagellin were constructed using different anchor motifs, and the surface-associated antigen was highly sensitive to simulated gastric and small intestinal juices. (via Semantic Scholar)

TL;DR: This is the first report describing cytotoxicity against BCG‐infected cells as a mechanism underlying the influence of Env sensitisation on subsequent BCG responses, and it is postulated that it could be due to Env‐specific T cells exerting cytot toxicity againstBCG‐ Infected host cells.
