The rock cavies (Kerodon rupestris) are rodents belonging to family Caviidae, with habitat restricted to northeastern Brazil. Current studies have shown that blood cord has stem and hematopoietic cells both with a high regenerative potential, microscopic studies about the description in rodents and other mammals are scarce. The aim of this study was to describe the structural components of the ...

The thalamic midline/intralaminar complex is part of the higher-order thalamus, which receives little sensory input, and instead forms extensive cortico-thalamo-cortical pathways. The midline thalamic nuclei connect with the medial prefrontal cortex and the medial temporal lobe. On the other hand, the intralaminar nuclei connect with the fronto-parietal cortex. Taking into account this connecti...

This study provides new records, geographical distribution extensions and a checklist of the current ctenids species in Colombia based on the review of four arachnological collections and published literature. A total of 15 new records for Ctenidae in Colombia are reported; nine of these species are new records for the country and the distribution of the remaining six is expanded. The genus Cen...

of the mind). Mikkeli examines briefly the sixteenth-century popular health manuals of Sir Thomas Elyot and Luigi Cornaro, the attack on the inclusion of hygiene of Petrus Lauremburg in 1630, the initiative of Santoro Santorio to put hygiene on a mathematical and physical basis and its subsequent endorsement by the pioneering historian of medicine James Mackenzie, and finally the recognition of...

Plant microtubules (MTs), in addition to their role in cell division and cell expansion, respond to various stress signals. To understand the biological function of this early response requires non-destructive strategies for visualization in cellular models that are highly responsive to stress signals. We have therefore generated a transgenic tubulin marker line for a cell line from the grapevi...
