Open AccessTranscriptome-based biomarker gene screening and evaluation of the extracellular fatty acid-binding protein (Ex-FABP) on immune and angiogenesis-related genes in chicken erythrocytes of tibial dyschondroplasia
Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is a bone disorder in which dead chondrocytes accumulate as a result of apoptosis and non-vascularization in the tibial bone of broiler chickens. The pathogenicity of TD is under e...

Spikes with short inter-spike intervals in frog retinal ganglion cells are more correlated with their adjacent neurons’ activities
Correlated firings among neurons have been extensively investigated; however, previous studies on retinal ganglion cell (RGC) population activities were mainly based on analyzing the correlated activities betw...

Spatial and temporal correlations of spike trains in frog retinal ganglion cells
For a neuron, firing activity can be in synchrony with that of others, which results in spatial correlation; on the other hand, spike events within each individual spike train may also correlate with each othe...

Visual pattern recognition based on spatio-temporal patterns of retinal ganglion cells’ activities
Neural information is processed based on integrated activities of relevant neurons. Concerted population activity is one of the important ways for retinal ganglion cells to efficiently organize and process vis...

Gene expression profile of Helicobacter pylori in response to growth temperature variation
A Helicobacter pylori whole-genome DNA microarray was constructed to study expression profiles of H. pylori in response to a sudden temperature transfer from 37°C to 20°C. The expression level of the genome at ea...

The number of rooted essential maps on surfaces
In this paper, general functional equations of rooted essential maps on surfaces (orientable and nonorientable) are deduced and their formal solutions are presented. Further, three explicit formulae for counti...
