REVERSELY IMMORTALIZED MOUSE SALIVARY GLAND CELLS PRESENTED A PROMISING METABOLIC AND FIBROTIC RESPONSE UPON BMP9/GDF2 STIMULATION

Reversely immortalized mouse salivary gland cells presented a promising metabolic and fibrotic response upon BMP9/Gdf2 stimulation

Abstract The submandibular gland (SMG) and the sublingual gland (SLG) are two of the three major salivary glands in mammals.In mice, they are adjacent to each other and open into the oral cavity, producing saliva to lubricate the mouth and aid in food digestion.Though salivary gland dysfunction accompanied with fibrosis and metabolic disturbance is

Obtaining Cellulose-Available Raw Materials by Pretreatment of Common Agro-Forestry Residues With Pleurotus spp.

The goals of the present study were to characterize the profile of ligninolytic enzymes in five Pleurotus species and determine their ability to delignify eight common agro-forestry residues.Generally, corn stalks Kettles were the optimal inducer of Mn-dependent peroxidase activity, but the activity peak was noted after wheat straw fermentation by
