Identifying the taxonomy of bone fragments in resin-embedded archaeological sediment blocks can provide information about our past at a microstratigraphic resolution. Here, we first explore the effects of resin impregnation on modern bones, and find minimal effects on taxonomic identifications, but ...
Frankincense oil is prepared from aromatic hardened wood resin obtained by tapping Boswellia trees. For thousands of years, it has been important both socially and economically as an ingredient in incense and perfumes. Frankincense oil is a botanical oil distillate made from fermented plants that ...
Several studies have successfully detected hepatocarcinogenicity in rats based on gene expression data. Here, we constructed a model for detecting non-genotoxic (NGTX) hepatocarcinogens and predicted their MOAs in rats. Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) and Dammar resin (DAM) are NGTX hepatocarcinogens. Gene...
To better understand the molecular bases of resin production, a major source of terpenes for industry, the transcriptome of adult Pinus elliottii var. elliottii (slash pine) trees under field commercial resinosis was obtained.
