The application of environmental DNA (eDNA) has improved the ability of humans to detect the existence and geographical distribution of aquatic organisms. The present study highlights the development and application of eDNA techniques to detect rough-footed mud turtles and yellow mud turtles in different areas in Texas. Both mud turtle species were successfully detected in lakes/resacas using direct eDNA sampling techniques. Moreover, passive eDNA sampling techniques were conducted using different membrane filters to detect mud turtle species. The findings indicated that only the mixed cellulose esters (MCE) filter membranes effectively identified eDNA of yellow mud turtles in the fall, but …

Prostate cancer (PrCa) is one of the most common malignancies in men globally and the second leading cause of cancer associated deaths in developed countries. Accumulating evidence have demonstrated involvement of various molecular and cellular factors in the development, progression and chemoresistance of PrCa and many of them were successfully established as potential molecular targets for therapy. Despite these advancements, the underlying mechanisms of PrCa occurrence is still unclear, which limits the diagnosis and therapy. Therefore, it is an urgent need to discover potential molecular targets which can be used in rational design of new strategies for the prevention and …
