Citrus Huanglongbing (HLB) disease or citrus greening is caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las) and is the most devastating disease in the global citrus industry. Salicylic acid (SA) plays a central role in regulating plant defenses against pathogenic attack. SA methyltransferase (SAMT) modulates SA homeostasis by converting SA to…[Read more]

In this study, the polyethyleneimine (PEI) modified waste bamboo powder (WBP-Na-PEI) was successfully prepared and applied to adsorbing Congo red (CR) dye from aqueous solution. The obtained materials were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform-infrared, and thermogravimetric analysis.…[Read more]

The renin-angiotensin system (ARS) is a hormonal cascade that regulates blood pressure, electrolytes and water balance. AngiotensinII (AII) exerts its effects through the AT1 and AT2 receptors. Brivudine AT1 is found in the syncytiotrophoblast, AT2 predominates during foetal development and its stimulation inhibits cell growth, increases…[Read more]

Recently, correlations of different physiological processes in humans with variations in the local lunisolar gravitational tide force have been observed under highly controlled laboratory conditions. Understanding of the physical nature of this phenomenon needs a comprehensive study of its possible molecular mechanisms. One of the possible timing…[Read more]

The pivotal role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in migraine pathophysiology was identified over 30 years ago, but the successful clinical development of targeted therapies has only recently been realized. This Perspective traces the decades long evolution of medicinal chemistry required to advance small molecule CGRP receptor…[Read more]

Astrocyte-derived EVs transferred NKILA into neurons, which led to the downregulation of miR-195, upregulation of NLRX1, increased cell proliferation, and decreased cell apoptosis. The in vivo experiments validated that NKILA-containing EVs promoted brain recovery following TBI. Collectively, astrocyte-derived EVs carrying NKILA was found to…[Read more]

Finally, comorbid youth were significantly less likely to be responders or remitters at post-treatment. LIMITATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS Limitations include the cross-sectional design, relatively small clinical sample, and lack of an experimental control group of youth with ADHD without OCD. Current approaches to treatment may be improved for youth…[Read more]

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) launched the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADxSM) Tech initiative to support the development and commercialization of novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) point-of-care test devices. The primary objective of the Clinical Studies Core (CSC) was to perform SARS-CoV-2 device…[Read more]

The concurrent relationships between KF and KE ROM with measures of pain and function were divergent (moderate to low correlations; r <0.7; p > 0.05).

Both UG and SG have smaller measurement error in assessing KF and KE ROM irrespective of experience level of examiner and therefore no one tool is superior than the other for assessing knee…[Read more]
