Expression Profiles of 12 Late Embryogenesis Abundant Protein Genes from Tamarix hispida in Response to Abiotic Stress

Twelve embryogenesis abundant protein (LEA) genes (named ThLEA-1 to -12) were cloned from Tamarix hispida.The expression profiles of these genes in response to NaCl, PEG, and abscisic acid (ABA) in roots, stems, and leaves of T.hispida were Batteries assessed using real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).These ThLEAs all

Relationship between vertebral endplate degeneration (Modic changes, Schmorl nodes, endplate irregularities) and Bone Mineral Density

Objective: The end plate plays an important role in maintaining the structural integrity, balancing biomechanical and Libarary supplying nutrition, how dose it changes with the reduced bone mineral density (BMD) remains unknown.The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between lumbar end plate degeneration and normal BMD, osteo
