A Novel Anticancer Peptide Derived from <i>Bryopsis plumosa</i> Regulates Proliferation and Invasion in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cells

The discovery of new highly effective anticancer drugs with few side effects is a challenge for drug development research. Natural or synthetic anticancer peptides (ACPs) represent a new generation of anticancer agents with high selectivity...

Monitoring of coastal dynamics at Subang Regency using Landsat Collection Data and Cloud Computing Based

This study aims to better understand the coastal dynamics along the 6.89 km of Subang shoreline using Landsat data and GIS methods with cloud computing-based analysis. The data is processed using remote sensing techniques, image classificat...

Survival and growth of fish (Lates calcarifer) under integrated mangrove-aquaculture and open-aquaculture systems

The potential use of mangrove swamp for fish farming industry is not clearly known. Therefore, current study was conducted to assess the growth performance of the Asian Seabass, Lates calcarifer cultivated in integrated mangrove-aquaculture...

Ectoparasites Identification on Spiny Lobster (Panulirus homarus) Cultivated Controlled Tanks and Floating Net Cages (KJA) at the Lampung Marine Aquaculture Center (BBPBL) : Identifikasi Ektoparasit Lobster Pasir (Panulirus homarus) pada Bak Terkendali dan Keramba Jaring Apung (KJA) di Balai Besar Perikanan Budidaya Laut (BBPBL) Lampung

Ectoparasites can infect aquatic biota, including spiny lobster (Panulirus homarus), which causes failure of spiny lobster cultivation, such as death, bacterial infection, and decreased cultivation quality. One of the failures of spiny lobs...

Composition, Demographic History, and Population Structures of Trichiurus

Sequences of the complete mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene were used to identify Trichiurus species and examine their population genetic structure and demographic history along the coast of China. Three Trichiurus species wer...

Effects of natural environmental drivers and different mobile bottom-contact fishing intensity on infauna communities in NATURA 2000 sites in the German Exclusive Economic Zone of the North Sea

Three marine protected areas, i.e., Borkum Reef Ground, Sylt Outer Reef, and Dogger Bank, have been established within the European NATURA 2000 program in the German Exclusive Economic Zone of the North Sea. Within them, we analysed the eff...

Exposure, hazard, and vulnerability and their contribution to Schistosoma haematobium re-infection in northern Senegal

Background: The risk of infectious diseases, including snail-borne schistosomiasis, is determined by three inter-related components: exposure, hazard, and vulnerability. For schistosomiasis, exposure occurs through behaviours involving wate...

Some Examples of the Use of Molecular Markers for Needs of Basic Biology and Modern Society

Application of molecular genetic markers appeared to be very fruitful in achieving many goals, including (i) proving the theoretic basements of general biology and (ii) assessment of worldwide biodiversity. Both are provided in the present ...

Dynamic coastal pelagic habitat drives rapid changes in growth and condition of juvenile sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) during early marine migration

Migrating marine taxa encounter diverse habitats that differ environmentally and in foraging conditions over a range of spatial scales. We examined body (RNA/DNA, length-weight residuals) and nutritional (fatty acid composition) condition o...

The crowns have eyes: multiple opsins found in the eyes of the crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci

Abstract Background Opsins are G protein-coupled receptors used for both visual and non-visual photoreception, and these proteins evolutionarily date back to the base of the bilaterians. In the current sequencing age, phylogenomic analysis ...

Improved chromosomal-level genome assembly and re-annotation of leopard coral grouper

Abstract Plectropomus leopardus, as known as leopard coral grouper, is a valuable marine fish that has gradually been bred artificially. To promote future conservation, molecular breeding, and comparative studies, we generated an improved h...

Editorial: Programmed cell death in aquatic animals

Seabird Migration Strategies: Flight Budgets, Diel Activity Patterns, and Lunar Influence

Every year, billions of birds undertake extensive migrations between breeding and non-breeding areas, facing challenges that require behavioural adjustments, particularly to flight timing and duration. Such adjustments in daily activity pat...

The Eighteenth Annual Conference of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists

The Annual Conference of the Association of Muslim Social Scientists (AMSS) has acquired a certain niche for itself in the academic life of Muslims in North America. Each year the Conference is attended by Muslim and several non-Muslim scho...

Entropy production and fluctuation theorems in a continuously monitored optical cavity at zero temperature

Fluctuation theorems allow one to make generalised statements about the behaviour of thermodynamic quantities in systems that are driven far from thermal equilibrium. In this article we use Crooks' fluctuation theorem to understand the entr...

Efficient tuna detection and counting with improved YOLOv8 and ByteTrack in pelagic fisheries

Accurate estimation of tuna catch is crucial for effective pelagic fishery management and resource conservation. However, existing manual counting methods suffer from issues such as low accuracy and poor timeliness, highlighting the urgent ...

Genetic Diversity and Population Genetic Structure of Endemic Schizothoracinae Fishes in the Upper Yellow River and Its Adjacent Waters

ABSTRACT The endemic fishes in the upper Yellow River and its adjacent waters on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau are very sensitive and vulnerable to human activities and climate changes. However, the status of populations, such as genetic divers...

Prophylactic Absorbable Antibiotic Beads for High-risk, Implant-based Prepectoral Reconstruction

Summary:. Infections are problematic in postmastectomy implant-based reconstruction with infection rates as high as 30%. Strategies to reduce the risk of infection have demonstrated various efficacies. A prolonged course of systemic, oral a...

Single-cell RNA sequencing to detect age-associated genes that identify senescent cells in the liver of aged mice

Abstract Senescent cells are predicted to occur and increase in animal tissues with aging. However, senescent cells in the tissues of aged animals remain to be identified. We refer to the marker genes to identify senescent cells in tissues ...

HEART Camp Connect—Promoting adherence to exercise in adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Abstract Aims Most adults with stable heart failure are safe to exercise at a moderate intensity for 150 min/week. Regular participation in exercise may improve outcomes in adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)....
