Abstract Background The application of mechanical insults to the spinal cord results in profound cellular and molecular changes, including the induction of neuronal cell death and altered gene expression profiles.Previous studies have described alterations in gene expression following spinal cord injury, but the specificity of this response to mech
There will be substantial cultivated land change in China as the society strives to meet the growing food demands, which will greatly influence the future climate.This study analyzed the possible biogeophysical effects of cultivated land change on the climate in Northeast China during 2010–2030 on the basis of Mystery Shirt simulation with the We
Studies examining the impact of early adversity on physiological responsivity to environmental challenges in later life yield a complex pattern of findings and ambiguity regarding the direction of effect, with some studies reporting heightened responses and others reporting dampened responses.One potential reason for these mixed findings is an over
Ectotherms, such as insects, experience non-constant temperatures in nature.Daily mean temperatures can be derived from the daily maximum and minimum temperatures.However, the converse is not true and environments with the same mean temperature can exhibit very different diurnal temperate ranges.Here we apply a degree-day model for development of t
