YAP1 reactivation in cardiomyocytes following ECM remodelling contributes to the development of contractile force and sarcomere maturation

Abstract Cardiac diseases are fueled by extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling. Together with the altered ECM chemical composition, the mechanical turmoil associated with ECM maladaptive remodelling in the pathological heart drives the shut...

The Evanescent Bouquet of Individual Bear Fingerprint

The evanescent and invisible communication carried by chemical signals, pheromones, or signature mixtures or, as we prefer, the pheromonal individual fingerprint, between members of the same species is poorly studied in mammals, mainly beca...

Antibiogram Profile and Resistance Patterns of Microflora from Vaginal Discharge in Reproductive-age Women at a Nigerian Teaching Hospital

Background: The adult human vagina hosts a complex biota containing diverse communities of microorganisms. The occurrence of multi-drug-resistant strains of these microorganisms has persistently increased due to poor hygiene and misuse or a...

In vivo and in vitro toxicity of nanogold conjugated snake venom protein toxin GNP-NKCT1

Research on nanoparticles has created interest among the biomedical scientists. Nanoparticle conjugation aims to target drug delivery, increase drug efficacy and imaging for better diagnosis. Toxicity profile of the nanoconjugated molecules...

Prediction of Sport Participation Motivation among Male Adolescent Students in School Physical Education Classes Based on Basic Psychological Needs and Social Responsibility

The aim of this study was to predict the sport participation motivation of male adolescent students in school physical education classes based on basic psychological needs and social responsibility. The research method was a correlational s...

Epidemiology of varicocele

Varicocele is a common problem in reproductive medicine practice. A varicocele is identified in 15% of healthy men and up to 35% of men with primary infertility. The exact pathophysiology of varicoceles is not very well understood, especial...

Statistical Inter-stimulus Interval Window Estimation for Transient Neuromodulation via Paired Mechanical and Brain Stimulation

For achieving motor recovery in individuals with sensorimotor deficits, augmented activation of the appropriate sensorimotor system, and facilitated induction of neural plasticity are essential. An emerging procedure that combines periphera...

Artificial neural networks for speech and vision

Neural Networks for speech processing. Neural Networks in the acquisition of speech by machine. The nervous system - fantasy and reality. Processing of complex stimuli in the mammalian cochlear nucleus. On the possible role of auditory peri...

AMPA-Type Glutamate Receptors Associated With Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Subpopulations in Atherosclerosis and Vascular Injury

Objectives and Aims: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are key constituents of both normal arteries and atherosclerotic plaques. They have an ability to adapt to changes in the local environment by undergoing phenotypic modulation. An im...

Distinct Shifts in Microbiota Composition during Drosophila Aging Impair Intestinal Function and Drive Mortality

Alterations in the composition of the intestinal microbiota have been correlated with aging and measures of frailty in the elderly. However, the relationships between microbial dynamics, age-related changes in intestinal physiology, and org...

Differential Expression of Serum TUG1, LINC00657, miR-9, and miR-106a in Diabetic Patients With and Without Ischemic Stroke

Background: Ischemic stroke is one of the serious complications of diabetes. Non-coding RNAs are established as promising biomarkers for diabetes and its complications. The present research investigated the expression profiles of serum TUG1...

Toll-like receptor 2 coordinates induction of IL-22 in lung macrophages following organic dust-induced inflammation

IntroductionOrganic dust exposures, particularly in occupational settings, induce airway inflammation and contribute to the development and progression of chronic lung disease and impaired tissue regeneration. Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a pl...

Innovative green niosomal piperlongumine as a novel topical treatment for dermatophytosis in guinea pigs model

Abstract Dermatophytosis is a common superficial fungal infection that affects many people worldwide. Although various species of dermatophytes respond to common antifungal drugs, the recently identified Trichophyton indotineae isolates hav...

Targeting Inflammation With Nanosized Drug Delivery Platforms in Cardiovascular Diseases: Immune Cell Modulation in Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a disorder of large and medium-sized arteries; it consists in the formation of lipid-rich plaques in the intima and inner media, whose pathophysiology is mostly driven by inflammation. Currently available interventio...

Assessing the Microbial Quality of Shrimp (<i>Xiphonaeus kroyeri)</i> and Mussels (<i>Perna perna</i>) Illegally Sold in the Vitória Region, Brazil, and Investigating the Antimicrobial Resistance of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolates

The consumption of seafood is crucial for food security, but poor hygiene along the food production chain can result in low microbiological quality, posing significant risks for public health and seafood quality. Thus, this study aimed to a...

Hydrogen gas (H2) delivered by intraperitoneal injection alleviated methionine- and choline-deficient diet-induced metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease in mice via inhibiting GSDMD- and GSDME-mediated pyroptosis

BackgroundHydrogen gas (H2), which is the lightest and diffusible gas molecule, has strong abilities to alleviate excessive oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Inhalation of H2 is beneficial for preventing the damage of the lung,...
