PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH A LIPOFUSCIN EXTRACTION METHOD USED TO AGE BLUE CRABS CALLINECTES SAPIDUS CULTURED IN FLORIDA, USA

Problems associated with a lipofuscin extraction method used to age blue crabs Callinectes sapidus cultured in Florida, USA

The blue crab Callinectes sapidus is an ecologically and economically important component of marine and estuarine ecosystems of the western Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.Current stock assessments lack a clear understanding of the age structure of blue crab populations in Florida (USA).Blue crabs and other crustaceans are especially difficult to age b

Single-nucleus chromatin accessibility and RNA sequencing reveal impaired brain development in prenatally e-cigarette exposed neonatal rats

Summary: Although emerging evidence reveals that vaping alters the function of the central nervous system, the effects of maternal vaping on offspring brain development remain elusive.Using a well-established in utero exposure model, we performed single-nucleus ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq) and RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) on Bergamot prenatally e-cigarette-

The Flexible Armor of Chinese Sturgeon: Potential Contribution of Fish Skin on Fracture Toughness and Flexural Response

Fish skin is a biological material with high flexibility and compliance and can provide good mechanical protection against Fridge Door Hinge Cover sharp punctures.This unusual structural function makes fish skin a potential biomimetic design model for flexible, protective, and locomotory systems.In this work, tensile fracture tests, bending tests,
