Functional tuning of T cells based on their degree of self-reactivity is established during positive selection in the thymus, although how positive selection differs for thymocytes with relatively low versus high self-reactivity is unclear. In addition, preselection thymocytes are highly sensitive to low-affinity ligands, but the mechanism…[Read more]

The knowledge of potential contributors to exercise adherence may help in designing exercise programs for individuals with stroke. Copyright © 2020 Lívia C. G. Caetano et al.The objective of this study was to identify the phylogenetic analysis and antibiotic resistance of Listeria monocytogenes contaminating chicken meat in Surabaya. 60 chicken m…[Read more]

The progression of color change was characterized by differential expression of genes involved in pigmentation, circadian, and behavioral regulation. We found significant overlap between differentially expressed genes across the seasonal molts of mountain and snowshoe hares, particularly at molt onset, suggesting conservatism of gene regulation…[Read more]

The charismatic trumpetfishes, goatfishes, dragonets, flying gurnards, seahorses, and pipefishes encompass a recently defined yet extraordinarily diverse clade of percomorph fishes-the series Syngnatharia. This group is widely distributed in tropical and warm-temperate regions, with a great proportion of its extant diversity occurring in the…[Read more]

For the 202 lesions in the test set, the diagnostic performance of the AI model had 77.0% accuracy, 82.0% sensitivity, 71.7% specificity, 79.3% PPV, 75.1% NPV, and an AUC of 0.846. When the AI model was used to analyze category 4A lesions, the PPV was 9.3%, which was better than that of the radiologists, although not significantly.

Deep…[Read more]

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a hereditary disease characterized by progressive distal muscle weakness and myotonia. Patients with DM1 have abnormal lipid metabolism and a high propensity to develop a metabolic syndrome in comparison to the general population. It follows that metabolome evaluation in these patients is crucial and may…[Read more]

The application of chemical dispersants in marine oil spill remediation is comprehensively reported across the globe. But, the augmented toxicity and poor biodegradability of reported chemical dispersants have created necessity for their replacement with the bio-based green dispersants. Therefore, in the present study, we have synthesized five…[Read more]

ur findings suggest a reasonable approach to improve the production of exosomes for various therapeutic applications.

To our knowledge, this is the first study showing that PdNPs stimulate exosome biogenesis and release and simultaneously increase the levels of cytokines and chemokines by modulating various physiological processes. Our findings…[Read more]
