Spinal Inhibition of GABAB Receptors by the Extracellular Matrix Protein Fibulin-2 in Neuropathic Rats
(Frontiers Media, 2020-07-15)
In the central nervous system, the inhibitory GABAB receptor is the archetype of heterodimeric G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Receptor interaction with partner proteins has emerged as a novel mechanism to alter GPCR ...
Comparative lipidomic analysis of mammalian retinal ganglion cells and Muller glia in situ and in vitro using High-Resolution Imaging Mass Spectrometry
(Nature, 2020-11-18)
In order to better understand retinal physiology, alterations to which underlie some ocular diseases, we set out to establish the lipid signature of two fundamental cell types in the retina, Muller Glia and Retinal Ganglion ...
Second Week Methyl-Prednisolone Pulses Improve Prognosis in Patients with Severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pneumonia: an Observational Comparative Study Using Routine Care Data
(Public Library Science, 2020-09-22)
Objective To analyze the effects of a short course of methyl-prednisolone pulses (MP) during the second week of disease (week-2) in patients with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Methods Comparative ...
Laser-induced highly oriented pyrolytic graphite for high-performance screen-printed electrodes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-09-21)
Screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) are enjoying increasing popularity in different electrochemistry areas, from electroanalysis to energy storage and power generation. Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), an ...
Spatial Ecology of the Stone Marten in an Alpine Area: Combining Camera-Trapping and Genetic Surveys
(Springer, 2021-03-24)
A species' potential distribution can be modelled adequately only if no factor other than habitat availability affects its occurrences. Space use by stone marten Martes foina is likely to be affected by interspecific ...
eDNA Metabarcoding for Biodiversity Assessment, Generalist Predators As Sampling Assistants
(Springer, 2021-03-25)
With an accelerating negative impact of anthropogenic actions on natural ecosystems, non-invasive biodiversity assessments are becoming increasingly crucial. As a consequence, the interest in the application of environmental ...
African burned area and fire carbon emissions are strongly impacted by small fires undetected by coarse resolution satellite data
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021-03-02)
Fires are a major contributor to atmospheric budgets of greenhouse gases and aerosols, affect soils and vegetation properties, and are a key driver of land use change. Since the 1990s, global burned area (BA) estimates ...
The Effect of Plasma Rich in Growth Factors on Microglial Migration, Macroglial Gliosis and Proliferation, and Neuronal Survival
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-26)
Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a subtype of platelet-rich plasma that has being employed in the clinic due to its capacity to accelerate tissue regeneration. Autologous PRGF has been used in ophthalmology to repair ...
Balancing Workload and Workforce Capacity in Lean Management: Application to Multi-Model Assembly Lines
(MDPI, 2020-12-10)
While multi-model assembly lines are used by advanced lean companies because of their flexibility (different models of a product are produced in small lots and reach the customers in a short lead time), most of the extant ...
Plasma Rich in Growth Factors (PRGF) Increases the Number of Retinal Muller Glia in Culture but Not the Survival of Retinal Neurons
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-09)
Plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) is a subtype of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) that stimulates tissue regeneration and may promote neuronal survival. It has been employed in ophthalmology to achieve tissue repair in some ...
