Mitochondrial ferritin (FtMt) is a novel iron storage protein with high homology to H-ferritin. Unlike the ubiquitously expressed H- and L-ferritin, FtMt is expressed in specific tissues such as the testis, heart, and brain. The function of FtMt is not fully understood; however, evidence suggests that it has a neuroprotective role in neurodegenerative diseases. We have previously reported that ...

Abstract Lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) play a crucial role in using renewable sources. Vanadates have been applied as anode material due to the combined diffusion mechanisms and higher stable capacities. Despite interest vanadates materials, only few studies considered Ca 2 V O 7 (CVO) an active for LIBs. This work focuses on use of CVO potential alternative anode‐active Additionally, we investi...

The role of the primary cilium in key signaling pathways depends on dynamic regulation of ciliary membrane protein composition, yet we know little about the motors or membrane events that regulate ciliary membrane protein trafficking in existing organelles. Recently, we showed that cilium-generated signaling in Chlamydomonas induced rapid, anterograde IFT-independent, cytoplasmic microtubule-de...

PURPOSE Many adverse effects have been associated with abuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS), including disorders of the urogenital tract. The objective of this study is to analyze the morphological modifications in the prostate ventral lobe of pubertal and adult rats chronically treated with AAS, using morphometric methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 39 male Wistar rats weighing ...

We introduce a notion of complete monotone quasiconcave duality and we show that it holds for important classes of quasiconcave functions. JEL classification: C65

This paper provides a theoretical fractional cointegration analysis in a nonparametric framework. We solve a generalized eigenvalues problem, extending Bierens’ (1997) approach. To this end, a couple of random matrices is constructed, distinguishing between stationary and nonstationary part of the fractional integrated process. The asymptotic behavior of such matrices is studied and convergence...

This note illustrates that the saturation property of a probability space can be used to routinely generalize results on the integration of Banach valued correspondences over a Loeb measure space to those over an arbitrary saturated probability space. On the other hand, the saturation property is also necessary for the validity of those results when the target space is infinite dimensional. © 2...

Under study are games in which players receive private signals and then simultaneously choose actions from compact sets. Payoffs are measurable in signals and jointly continuous in actions. This paper gives a counter-example to the main step in Cotter’s [K. Cotter, Correlated equilibrium in games with typedependent strategies, J. Econ. Theory 54 (1991) 48–69] argument for correlated equilibrium...

Abstract Background Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) exists in two forms: a genetic form transmitted by autosomal dominant inheritance (ATTRv) and wild type (ATTRwt). Clinically, the hereditary tends to have an early onset adulthood it is characterized particular tropism for nervous as well cardiac tissue. In contrast, "wild type" has later with major involvement neurological manifestations usu...
