Mesenchymal stem cells and the neuronal microenvironment in the area of spinal cord injury
Cell-based technologies are used as a therapeutic strategy in spinal cord injury (SCI).Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which secrete various neurotrophic factors and cytokines, have immunomodulatory, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects, modulate reactivity/phenotype of astrocytes and the microglia, thereby promoting neuroregeneration seem t
Identification of a novel AP2 transcription factor in zygotes with an essential role in Plasmodium ookinete development.
The sexual phase of Plasmodium represents a crucial step in malaria transmission, during which these parasites fertilize and form ookinetes to infect mosquitoes.Plasmodium development after fertilization is thought to proceed with female-stored mRNAs until the formation of a retort-form ookinete; thus, transcriptional activity in zygotes has previo
Hurricane Maria in the U.S. Caribbean: Disturbance Forces, Variation of Effects, and Implications for Future Storms
The impact of Hurricane Maria on the U.S.Caribbean was used to study the causes of remotely-sensed spatial variation in the effects of (1) vegetation index loss and (2) landslide occurrence.The vegetation index is a measure of canopy ‘greenness’, Computer Surface Cleaner a combination of leaf chlorophyll, leaf area, canopy cover and str
