by Alexandre Corbeau, Julien Collet, Melissa Fontenille, Henri Weimerskirch Seabirds are well known to be attracted by fishing boats to forage on offal and baits. We used recently developed loggers that record accurate GPS position and detect the presence of boats through their radar emissions to examine how albatrosses use Area Restricted Search (ARS) and if so, have specific ARS behaviours, when attending boats. As much as 78.5% of locations with a radar detection (contact with boat) during...

We investigated the differences of various biomarkers among individuals with or without Mets in a gender-specific manner. The gender-specific associations between E-selectin and MetS were further evaluated. Methods A total of 205 patients...

by Sandra M. Gonzalez, Wbeimar Aguilar-Jimenez, Edison Trujillo-Gil, Wildeman Zapata, Ruey-Chyi Su, T. Blake Ball, Maria T. Rugeles Introduction Mucosal immune activation, in the context of sexual transmission of HIV-1 infection, is crucial, as the increased presence of activated T cells enhance susceptibility to infection. In this regard, it has been proposed that immunomodulatory compounds capable of modulating immune activation, such as Vitamin D (VitD) may reduce HIV-1 transmission and might...

Peters Background Mother-to-infant bonding is defined as the emotional tie experienced by a mother towards her child, which is considered to be important for the socio-emotional development of the child. Numerous studies on the correlates of both prenatal and postnatal mother-to-infant bonding quality have...

Fredricks, Sujatha Srinivasan Urine is an acceptable, non-invasive sample for investigating the human urogenital microbiota and for the diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections. However, low quantities of bacterial DNA and PCR inhibitors in urine may prevent efficient PCR amplification for molecular detection of bacteria. Furthermore, cold temperatures used to preserve DNA and bacteria in urine...

Roche-Seruendo This study aimed to evaluate the concurrent validity of two different inertial measurement units for measuring spatiotemporal parameters during running on a treadmill, by comparing data with a high-speed video analysis (VA) at 1,000 Hz. Forty-nine endurance runners performed a running protocol on a treadmill at comfortable...

by Paolo Dolzani, Elisa Assirelli, Lia Pulsatelli, Riccardo Meliconi, Erminia Mariani, Simona Neri Mechanical stimulation appears to play a key role in cartilage homeostasis maintenance, but it can also contribute to osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. Accumulating evidence suggests that cartilage loading in the physiological range contributes to tissue integrity maintenance, whereas excessive or reduced loading have catabolic effects. However, how mechanical stimuli can regulate joint homeostasis...

It is a multi-dimensional stress causing alteration in the physiological, morphological, biochemical, and molecular traits in plants resulting in improper plant growth and development. Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses responsible for loss of crops including...

Abstract Stretching in membranes of cells and vesicles plays important roles in various physiological and physicochemical phenomena. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is the irreversible permeabilization of the membrane through the application of a series of electrical field pulses of micro- to millisecond duration. IRE induces lateral tension due to stretching in the membranes of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). However, the effects of electrically induced (i.e., IRE) constant...

Abstract Oenococcus oeni is the main bacteria extensively used in malolactic fermentation due to its high tolerance against stress factors in wine production. Among these, ethanol is one of the main challenges to O. oeni, and its ethanol tolerance mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the puuE gene related to ethanol tolerance from O. oeni SD‐2a was heterologously expressed in Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. Results showed that the recombinant strain (W‐pMG36epuuE) exhibited better growth performance...

Abstract The occurrence of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic mellitus has been increasing worldwide. Currently, ophthalmologists face a lot of challenges in identifying various stages in diabetic retinopathy. Among these stages, the early stage is microaneurysm. A new computer-aided microaneurysm detection system based on texture features is presented. The histogram of texture descriptor reveals the texture characteristics of each pixel which effectively increases the accuracy...

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a molecular complex that translates signals from pathogens and tissue damage into inflammatory responses, and plays crucial roles in numerous neurological diseases. Activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome leads to caspase‐1 dependent cleavage of pro‐IL‐1β to form mature IL‐1β. By acting on the P2 × 7 purinergic receptor, extracellular ATP is one of the major stimuli that activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. Although microglia express multiple purinergic receptors, their roles...
