The lobed river mullet (Cestraeus plicatilis [2]), also known as ludong or banak, [3] is a freshwater mullet. While it is claimed to be endemic to Cagayan River and tributaries extending through the watersheds of Cagayan Valley and the Santa-Abra River Systems of Ilocos Sur and Abra in the Philippines, [4] verifiable and reliable sources have listed Celebes, New Caledonia, New Hebrides, and ...
Cestraeus goldiei (W. J. Macleay, 1883) – goldie river mullet Cestraeus oxyrhyncus Valenciennes, 1836 – sharp-nosed river mullet Cestraeus plicatilis Valenciennes, 1836 – lobed river mullet
It is now clear that the bursa is the primary site of B cell lymphopoeisis and that avian B cell development has some unique properties compared to human or mouse models. [11] Almost all the B cell progenitors in the bursa of 4-day-old chickens express IgM on their cell surface. Studies have shown that B cells of 4– to 8-week-old birds are ...
According to the National Chicken Council, the birds head to market at an average of over 6 pounds in just 47 days. Back in the 50's, it would take 70 days for them to reach half that weight.
The chicken embryo is a unique model that overcomes many limitations to studying the biology of cancer in vivo. The chorioallantoic membrane (CAM), a well-vascularized extra-embryonic tissue located underneath the eggshell, has a successful history as a biological platform for the molecular analysis of cancer including viral oncogenesis, [8] carcinogenesis, [9] tumor xenografting, [1] [10] [11 ...
Although a chicken doesn't have as much DNA as a human, it has about the same amount of genes. In those genes, there were similarities to human genes. Humans are 60 percent the same as chickens in ...
In birds, the bursa of Fabricius (Latin: bursa cloacalis or bursa Fabricii) is the site of hematopoiesis.It is a specialized organ that, as first demonstrated by Bruce Glick and later by Max Dale Cooper and Robert Good, is necessary for B cell (part of the immune system) development in birds.
These behavioral states correlate with the phases of the human sexual response cycle: motivation − excitement; consummation − plateau and orgasm; satiety − refraction. [12] Sexual learning (a form of associative learning ) occurs when an animal starts to associate bodily features, personality, contextual cues, and other stimuli with ...
