Oxidative Stress and Proinflammatory Cytokines Contribute to Demyelination and Axonal Damage in a Cerebellar Culture Model of Neuroinflammation
(Public Library of Science, 2013-02-19)
Background: Demyelination and axonal damage are critical processes in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines elicited by inflammation mediates tissue damage.

Association of height and pubertal timing with lipoprotein subclass profile: exploring the role of genetic and environmental effects
(Wiley, 2013-05-04)
Objectives: Little is known about the relationship between growth and lipoprotein profile. We aimed to analyze common genetic and environmental factors in the association of height from late childhood to adulthood and ...
The association between height and birth order: evidence from 652,518 Swedish men
(BMJ, 2013)
Background: Birth order is associated with outcomes such as birth weight and adult socioeconomic position (SEP), but little is known about the association with adult height. This potential birth order-height association ...
Does expansion of the introduced Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum cause competitive displacement of the European native clam Ruditapes decussatus?
(Elsevier, 2013-05-03)
In several estuaries or lagoons of Europe the introduced Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum has supplanted the native grooved carpet shell clam Ruditapes decussatus by occupying almost entirely its ecological niche and ...
LARVAHS: Predicting clam larval dispersal and recruitment using habitat suitability-based particle tracking model
(Elsevier, 2013-09-13)
We herein explore the potential larval dispersal and recruitment patterns of Ruditapes decussatus and Ruditapes philippinarum clams, influenced by larval behavior and hydrodynamics, by means of a particle-tracking model ...
Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Tertiary Thiols From 5H-Thiazol-4-ones and Nitroolefins: Bifunctional Ureidopeptide-Based Brønsted Base Catalysis
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2013-09-17)
The direct catalytic reaction between an enolizable carbonyl compound and an electrophile under proton-transfer conditions has emerged as a challenging versatile transformation in organic synthesis.1 Over the last years ...
