Effects of exposure to noise during perceptual training of non-native language sounds
(AIP Publishing, 2018)
Listeners manage to acquire the sounds of their native language in spite of experiencing a range of
acoustic conditions during acquisition, including the presence of noise. Is the same true for nonnative
sound acquisition? ...
Characterization of Carotid Smooth Muscle Cells during Phenotypic Transition
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are central players in carotid atherosclerosis plaque development. Although the precise mechanisms involved in plaque destabilization are not completely understood, it is known that ...
Long Interleukin-22 Binding Protein Isoform-1 Is an Intracellular Activator of the Unfolded Protein Response
(Frontiers Media, 2018-12-14)
The human IL22RA2 gene co-produces three protein isoforms in dendritic cells [IL-22 binding protein isoform-1 (IL-22BPi1), IL-22BPi2, and IL-22BPi3]. Two of these, IL-22BPi2 and IL-22BPi3, are capable of neutralizing the ...
Behaviour of Rh supported on hydroxyapatite catalysts in partial oxidation and steam reforming of methane: On the role of the speciation of the Rh particles
