The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) has been shown to play a central role in regulating cell growth and metabolism. However, little is known about the function mTOR nutrient metabolism bivalve mollusks. In this study, regulation was investigated Sinonovacula constricta. First, activation assayed after starvation refeeding. Afterwards, using an activator (MHY1485) or inhibitor (rapamycin) m...

A lung location is extremely rare, with few cases reported in the literature. CLINICAL CASE The case is presented of a 33 year-old male, with non-productive cough, dyspnoea at rest, intermittent fever, and mild pain in rib cage. A chest radiograp...

Introduction: South Polar Layered Deposits (SPLD) have been analyzed by several authors [1,2,3, 4] in order to describe mayor layers sequences using visible images [1,2,3,4] and sounding radar datasets (Mars Express MARSIS and MRO ShaRAD [1,2]), defining different units. [1] mapped three main SPLD units through several distinctive erosion-resistant marker beds or packets of layers. In particula...

The purpose of this study was to determine the cellular events occurring 6 h after bronchial inhalation challenge, in a group of pigeon breeders. Twelve subjects agreed to undergo challenge, either with nebulized pigeon serum (Ps) (n = 10), or with saline (n = 2). The development of characteristic symptoms was used to detect a positive response in combination with monitoring tests (white blood ...
