Symmetry is not just a word; it is a concept like harmony. It not only attracts our visual sense; it also plays a major role in our sense of beauty.

Zygotic cell proliferation gives rise to a blastula, which then forms an inner cell mass to become a blastocyst. Gastrulation is the process by which the blastocyst is transformed into a gastrula ...

The mRNA transcripts of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) including CfPGRP-S1, CfLGBP, CfLec-1 and CfLec-3 were observed at a low level or even undetected at early developmental stages from eggs to ...

vannamei. Early development stages: zygote (zygo), 2 cells (C2), 4 cells (C4), 32 cells (C32), blastula (blast), gastrula (gast), limb bud embryo I (Lbe1), limb bud embryo II (Lbe2), larva in membrane ...

Cells within tissues are continuously exposed to physical forces, including hydrostatic pressure, shear stress and compression and tension forces. The nature of these forces can change in ...

The experimental shrimp, L. vannamei, were cultured in 25°C ± 1°C circulating seawater in our laboratory, and fed three times a day with equal weight commercial feed pellets. The shrimp with the body ...
