Study of the Genetic Etiology of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: FMR1 Gene
(MDPI, 2016-12-13)
Menopause is a period of women's life characterized by the cessation of menses in a definitive way. The mean age for menopause is approximately 51 years. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) refers to ovarian dysfunction ...
Poly(α-hydroxy Acids)-Based Cell Microcarriers
(MDPI, 2016-12-16)
Biodegradable poly(alpha-hydroxyacids) have gained increasing interest in the biomedical field for their use as cell microcarriers thanks to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties/degradation ...
Framework for the establishment of a feasible, tailored and effective perinatal education programme
(Biomed Central, 2017-02-08)
Background: Antenatal education needs to be renewed and adapted to the needs of women.
Objectives: to assess women needs, identify factors that influence the desired outcomes, and propose a framework for developing new ...
Structural basis for selective recognition of acyl chains by the membrane-associated acyltransferase PatA
(Nature Publishing, 2016-03)
The biosynthesis of phospholipids and glycolipids are critical pathways for virtually all cell membranes. PatA is an essential membrane associated acyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of mycobacterial phosphatidy ...
Isolated rectus abdominis metastasis from melanoma—An extremely rare case
(Elsevier, 2016)
INTRODUCTION: Melanoma is a health problem world-wide. Its incidence has tripled in the last decade. The main cause of death in melanoma patients is widespread metastases. It can metastasize to almost every organ. However, ...
Neural correlates of correct and failed response inhibition in heavy versus light social drinkers: an fMRI study during a go/no-go task by healthy participants
(Brain Imaging and Behavior, 2017)
The ability to suppress responses that are inappropriate, as well as the mechanisms monitoring the accuracy of actions in order to compensate for errors, is central to human behavior. Neural alterations that prevent stopping ...
Phantom dark ghost in Einstein–Cartan gravity
(Springer, 2017-05-03)
A class of dynamical dark energy models is constructed through an extended version of fermion fields corresponding to phantom dark ghost spinors, which are spin 1/2 with mass dimension 1. We find that if these spinors ...
Lewis Acid Properties of Tetrel Tetrafluorides—The Coincidence of the -Hole Concept with the QTAIM Approach
(MDPI, 2017-02)
Tetrel bond is analysed for a series of ZF(4) (Z = C, Si, Ge) complexes with one and two NH3 or AsH3 ligands. The MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ calculations were performed and supported by results of the Quantum Theory of Atoms in ...
Representation and processing of multi-word expressions in the brain
(Brain and Language, 2017)
Language comprehension is sensitive to the predictability of the upcoming information. Prediction allows for smooth, expedient and successful communication. While general discourse-based constraints have been investigated ...
Cross-linguistic differences in the use of durational cues for the segmentation of a novel language
(Memory & Cognition, 2017)
It is widely accepted that duration can be exploited as phonological phrase final lengthening in the segmentation of a novel language, i.e., in extracting discrete constituents from continuous speech. The use of final ...
