Evolution of Tandem Repeats Is Mirroring Post-polyploid Cladogenesis in Heliophila (Brassicaceae)

The unigeneric tribe Heliophileae encompassing more than 100 Heliophila species is morphologically the most diverse Brassicaceae lineage. The tribe is endemic to southern Africa, confined chiefly to the southwestern South Africa, home of tw...

RESPOSTA DIFERENCIAL DAS CULTURAS DE MILHO RR E SOJA RR À EXPOSIÇÃO A GLYPHOSATE E ADUBAÇÃO FOSFATADA

RESUMO A adubação fosfatada pode influenciar a resposta das culturas tolerantes ao glyphosate em razão de a absorção ativa do herbicida ser mediada por carreadores de fosfato. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar características de cresci...

Graphene Oxide and Reduced Derivatives, as Powder or Film Scaffolds, Differentially Promote Dopaminergic Neuron Differentiation and Survival

Emerging scaffold structures made of carbon nanomaterials, such as graphene oxide (GO) have shown efficient bioconjugation with common biomolecules. Previous studies described that GO promotes the differentiation of neural stem cells and ma...

Revisiting Hyaluronan Catabolism in Bacteroides: Pathway Conservation, Overlooked Proteins, and Predictive Accuracy

ABSTRACT The ability of gut microbes to degrade host‐ and diet‐derived glycans is central to microbiome ecology and host interactions, yet predicting these functions in silico remains challenging. Hyaluronan (HA), a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) ...

Modeling SARS-CoV-2 and influenza infections and antiviral treatments in human lung epithelial tissue equivalents

Human alveolar and tracheobronchial epithelial air liquid interface (ALI) tissues are used as models to examine cellular responses to SARS-CoV-2 and influenza A virus infections and as antiviral drug screening assay platforms....

Dielectric Properties of Phosphatidylcholine Membranes and the Effect of Sugars

Simple carbohydrates are associated with the enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease and adverse changes in lipoproteins in the organism. Conversely, sugars are known to exert a stabilizing effect on biological membranes, and this effect is...

<i>Vegfr3</i> and <i>Tbx1</i> Interact in Cardiac Morphogenesis

Gene inactivation in model organisms has identified numerous genes and signaling pathways involved in mammalian cardiac outflow tract (OFT) development. Human genetics data have implicated the VEGFR3 gene in OFT development, but when and wh...

Clinical evaluation of DIAGNOVIR SARS-CoV-2 ultra-rapid antigen test performance compared to PCR-based testing

Abstract Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The development of rapid antigen tests has contributed to easing the burden on ...

Cranial ultrasonographic findings in newborns exposed to SARS-CoV-2: a single-centre cross-sectional analysis

Abstract Background SARS-CoV-2’s potential consequences on the developing brain are still unknown. The aim of this study was to describe cranial ultrasonographic (cUS) findings in a population of newborns exposed to SARS-CoV-2 born at San M...

Sex-based estimation of biological variation in plasma-free amino acid concentrations among healthy adults

Introduction: Free amino acid (FAA) analysis plays a crucial role in diagnosing and monitoring inborn errors of metabolism, assessing nutritional status, and identifying metabolic imbalances associated with various diseases. This study aime...

Synthesis and properties of fluorene based small molecule acceptors containing aromatic malononitrile functionalities

Four novel small molecule acceptors (SMA) with fluorene-based cores were synthesized with terminal phenyl, thienyl, and furyl malononitrile groups in good yields. The products were obtained from a two-step reaction of 2,2′-(9,9-dioctyl-9H-f...

The Functional Role of Long Non-Coding RNA in Myogenesis and Skeletal Muscle Atrophy

Skeletal muscle is a pivotal organ in humans that maintains locomotion and homeostasis. Muscle atrophy caused by sarcopenia and cachexia, which results in reduced muscle mass and impaired skeletal muscle function, is a serious health condit...

SETTLEMENT OF BANKING DISPUTE IN INDONESIA

This article talks about dispute between costumer and the bank. Settlement of disputes should be resolved by the principle of fast, accurate and cheap. Issues raised in this paper is how an ideal dispute resolution process to resolve disput...

EFFECT OF THE BANK OF RISK CAPITAL ADEQUACY RATIO (CAR) ON FOREIGN EXCHANGE NATIONAL PRIVATE BANKS

The purpose of the research is to determine LDR, IPR, NPL, APB, IRR, PDN, BOPO and FBIR simultaneously and partially have significant influence toward Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). Population were the On Foreign Exchange National Private Ba...

Misalignment-modulated magnetoelastic transduction for field-tunable stiffness in chain-like magnetorheological elastomers: a Green-function-weighted traction-transfer framework

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are field-responsive composites whose stiffness can be tuned by a magnetic field. In chain-like MREs, strong local magnetic interactions and Maxwell tractions do not necessarily translate into a measurab...

Deuteron photodisintegration by polarized photons in the region of the d⁎(2380)

We report the first large-acceptance measurement of the beam–spin asymmetry for deuteron photodisintegration (γ→d→pn) in the photon energy range 420...

Volcanic Pozzolan from the Phlegraean Fields in the Structural Mortars of the Roman Temple of Nora (Sardinia)

In this paper, we discuss the presence of volcanic pozzolans in the structural mortars of the Roman Temple of Nora in Sardinia (3rd c. AD), represented by pyroclastic rocks (pumices and tuffs) employed as coarse and fine aggregates. The pro...

O silêncio como discurso: o projeto de lei “escola sem partido” e a invisibilidade da juventude LGBT na lógica da mordaça

Este artigo problematiza a interdição à cidadania da juventude LGBT a partir tanto da atual tramitação do PL (Projeto de Lei) “Escola sem Partido” na Câmara Municipal de Campo Grande – MS quanto das reverberações dos discursos que o permeia...
