The hWJMSCs-ACECM scaffold complex achieved better quality repair and regeneration of hyaline cartilage without cartilage-inducing factor, while retaining the structure and functional integrity of the subchondral bone, compared with MF.

Two quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting susceptibility of the mosquito Aedes aegypti to the filarial worm parasite Brugia malayi were identified using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) markers. The first locus, fsb[1,LF178], resides within a 10 cM interval on chromosome 1 and exhibits a recessive effect with respect to susceptibility. The second locus, fsb[2,LF98], resides within a 9 cM interval on chromosome 2 and exhibits an additive effect on susceptibility. Significant epistasis was detected between these loci, although the effect of fsb[2,LF98] was dependent on the genetic background of the mosquito strains. Suggestions for a standard QTL nomenclature are included.
