We describe the first comprehensive analysis of the midgut metabolome of Aedes aegypti, the primary mosquito vector for arboviruses such as dengue, Zika, chikungunya and yellow fever viruses.Transmission of these viruses depends on their ability to infect, replicate and disseminate from several tissues in the mosquito vector.The metabolic environme
Background: The infectious complications in hemodialysis patients are still among the main reasons for their increased morbidity and mortality.The possible reasons behind this might be due to impairments in the host defense mechanisms, comorbidities, invasive procedures and pathogenicity of the infecting organisms.With the increased incidence of ba
The illegal wildlife trade (IWT) threatens conservation and biosecurity efforts.The Internet has greatly facilitated the trade of wildlife, and researchers have increasingly examined the Internet to uncover illegal trade.However, most efforts to locate illegal trade on the Internet are targeted to one or few taxa or products.Large-scale efforts to
The mammary gland undergoes extensive expansion of a ductal network through the stroma during puberty and is an excellent model for understanding epithelial tube morphogenesis.To investigate a role for Numb, a multifaceted adapter protein, in epithelial tube morphogenesis, we conditionally deleted it from the mammary epithelium.We report that Numb-
With the continuous expansion of the market of indoor localization, the requirements of indoor localization technology are becoming higher and higher.Existing indoor floor localization (IFL) systems based on Wi-Fi signal and barometer data are susceptible to external environment changes, resulting in large errors.A method for indoor floor localizat
