Background and objectives: Crocus sativus L. (Iridaceae) commonly known as saffron, is a popular spice which is used for its pleasant aroma and favored color. Regarding the previous reports about the neuroprotective be...

Overexpression of the human mitochondrial ribosomal protein MRPS18-2 (S18-2) led to immortalization of primary rat embryonic fibroblasts (REFs). The derived cells (18IM) expressed embryonic stem cell markers. Noteworthy, genes encoding the COX family proteins were up-regulated significantly. It is known that the COX family proteins are involved in the regulation of immune response. In the prese...

The ability to maintain a proportionate body plan in individuals of different sizes is essential for proper development. Despite wide interest, little is known about the mechanisms underlying scaling with size. I will discuss our efforts to reveal the molecular basis for scaling in different systems. A general ‘‘Expansion– Repression’’ feedback topology will be presented, which ensures scaling ...

S18 ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND / VOLUME 6 / SUPPLEMENT 1 / AUGUST 2017 and adenocarcinoma was detected. None of the lesions had mucinous morphology. There were no periprocedural complications. Conclusion: EUS is an effective modality to detect occult primary in patients with CUPS with suspected pancreaticobiliary origin. Larger studies assessing its costeffectiveness and identifying positive predict...

While the visualizations of many neurons appear to be great-looking, showing canonical images of a class (e.g. a table lamp with shade and base, Fig. 1); many others do not (e.g. dog visualizations often show blobs of texture instead of a dog standing with 4 legs, Fig. S18). We investigate whether this is a shortcoming of our method or these non-canonical visualizations are actually reflecting ...
