High proportion of smaller ranged hummingbird species coincides with ecological specialization across the Americas.
(2016-02-10)
Ecological communities that experience stable climate conditions have been speculated to preserve more specialized interspecific associations and have higher proportions of smaller ranged species (SRS). Thus, areas with ...
The Mammalian Cell Cycle Regulates Parvovirus Nuclear Capsid Assembly.
(2015-06)
It is unknown whether the mammalian cell cycle could impact the assembly of viruses maturing in the nucleus. We addressed this question using MVM, a reference member of the icosahedral ssDNA nuclear parvoviruses, which ...
Combination Therapy of Intraperitoneal Rapamycin and Convection- Enhanced Delivery of Nanoliposomal CPT-11 in Rodent Orthotopic Brain Tumor Xenografts.
(2015)
BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant histological type of glioma. It exhibits an extremely aggressive action including invasion of large zones of brain parenchyma. Even after the application of ...
Features of Blastocystis spp. in xenic culture revealed by deconvolutional microscopy.
(2015-09)
Blastocystis spp. are common human enteric parasites with complex morphology and have been reported to cause irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Deconvolutional microscopy with time-lapse imaging and fluorescent spectroscopy ...
Use and perception of collars for companion cats in New Zealand.
(2016-03)
AIMS: To investigate the use and utility of collars for companion cats in New Zealand, and to explore public perception of collar use. METHODS: An online questionnaire was distributed using emails and social media to members ...

Assessment of metal concentrations in commercially important fish species in Black Sea.
(2016-03)
In the present study, concentrations of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) were measured in the muscle, gill, and gonads of the pelagic ...
Key Role of the Scavenger Receptor MARCO in Mediating Adenovirus Infection and Subsequent Innate Responses of Macrophages.
(2017-08-01)
The scavenger receptor MARCO is expressed in several subsets of naive tissue-resident macrophages and has been shown to participate in the recognition of various bacterial pathogens. However, the role of MARCO in antiviral ...
Osteochondral tissue engineering: scaffolds, stem cells and applications.
(2012-10)
Osteochondral tissue engineering has shown an increasing development to provide suitable strategies for the regeneration of damaged cartilage and underlying subchondral bone tissue. For reasons of the limitation in the ...
Bio-informatics analysis of a gene co-expression module in adipose tissue containing the diet-responsive gene Nnat.
(2010)
Obesity causes insulin resistance in target tissues - skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, liver and the brain. Insulin resistance predisposes to type-2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Adipose tissue inflammation ...
