The key KEGG and GO features of the eight fibrotic diseases were all screened by MCFS method. Moreover, we interestingly found overlaps of pathways between renal fibrosis and skin fibrosis, such as GO1901890-positive regulation of cell junction assembly, as well as common regulatory genes, such as CTGF, which is the key molecule regulating…[Read more]

In this study, individual growth of juvenile offspring of anadromous and freshwater resident brown trout Salmo trutta and crosses between the two from the River Imsa, Norway, was estimated. The juveniles were incubated until hatching at two temperatures (±S.D.), either 4.4 ± 1.5°C or 7.1 ± 0.6°C. Growth rate was estimated for 22 days in A…[Read more]
