The adaptable transcriptional response to changes in food availability not only ensures animal survival but also lets embryonic development progress. Interestingly, the CNS is preferentially protected from periods of malnutrition, a phenomenon known as “brain sparing.” However, mechanisms that mediate this remain poorly understood. To get better understanding this, we used Drosophila melanog...

Dorsal closure (DC) is a developmental process in which two contralateral epithelial sheets migrate to seal a large hole in the dorsal ectoderm of the Drosophila embryo. Two signaling pathways act sequentially to orchestrate this dynamic morphogenetic process. First, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling activity in the dorsal-most leading edge (LE) cells of the epidermis induces expression o...

In this paper, we report the surface assembly of a functional minicellulosome by using a synthetic yeast consortium. The basic design of the consortium consisted of four different engineered yeast strains capable of either displaying a trifunctional scaffoldin, Scaf-ctf (SC), carrying three divergent cohesin domains from Clostridium thermocellum (t), Clostridium cellulolyticum (c), and Ruminoco...

The differences in percentage inhibition by hexafluorenium bromide [hexamethylene1,6-bis-(9-fluorenyldimethylammonium) dibromide (Mylaxa, Nessler, Mallinckrodt, Germany)] and in polyacrylamide-gel disc-electrophoretic pattern of the hydrolytic activity of acetylthiocholine iodide of different fractions of rat jejunum have been reported by Das & Sayer (1 975). Scaf (1971) in his study on the eff...

Research describing survivors of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) has centered on quantifying functional ability, perceived quality of life, and neurocognitive assessment. Many gaps remain, however, regarding survivors' psychosocial perceptions of life in the aftermath of cardiac arrest. An important influence upon those perceptions is the presence of support and its role in a survivor's life. An In...

Abstract Aims In recent years, attention to subclinical atrial fibrillation (SCAF), defined as the presence of high-rate episodes (AHREs), in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), has gained much interest a determinant clinical AF and stroke risk. To perform systematic review meta-regression available scientific evidence regarding epidemiology SCAF receiving CIEDs. Metho...
