THE INTRINSIC AND INSTRUMENTAL VALUES OF BLOCKCHAIN TO PROVIDE BEEF TRACEABILITY IN HONG KONG, SOUTH KOREA, AND THE UNITED STATES

The Intrinsic and Instrumental Values of Blockchain to Provide Beef Traceability in Hong Kong, South Korea, and the United States

Although previous research has identified that consumers are willing to pay for traceability, it remains unknown which types of traceability information might have the highest value, and whether consumers have an intrinsic value for blockchain technology above and beyond the instrumental value of providing traceability.A choice experiment was condu

Ang-(1-7)/ MAS1 receptor axis inhibits allergic airway inflammation via blockade of Src-mediated EGFR transactivation in a murine model of asthma.

The angiotensin-(1-7) [Ang-(1-7)]/MAS1 receptor signaling axis is a key endogenous anti-inflammatory signaling pathway.However, the mechanisms by which its mediates the anti-inflammatory effects are not completely understood.Using an allergic murine model of asthma, we investigated whether Ang-1(1-7)/MAS1 receptor axis a): inhibits Spring Riding To

Antibodies against canine distemper virus, parvovirus and Ehrlichia spp. in wild captive carnivores in midwestern Brazil

ABSTRACT: The occurrence of antibodies against canine distemper virus (CDV), parvovirus and Ehrlichia spp.in wild captive carnivores was evaluated in a zoological park in midwestern Brazil.Serum samples were collected between 2007 and 2014 from 45 carnivores.Antibodies were evaluated by virus neutralization assay for CDV, hemagglutination inhibitio

H/ACA Small RNA Dysfunctions in Disease Reveal Key Roles for Noncoding RNA Modifications in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Differentiation

Noncoding RNAs control critical cellular processes, although their contribution to disease remains largely unexplored.Dyskerin associates with hundreds of H/ACA small RNAs to generate a multitude of functionally distinct ribonucleoproteins Filter Carbon (RNPs).The DKC1 gene, encoding dyskerin, is mutated in the multisystem disorder X-linked dyskera
