The high dependence of human communities on ecosystems’ well-functioning has transformed and degraded ecosystems at alarming rates. Strategies for sustainability are an urgent need and requires the understanding of the complex interactions between human and ecological systems in the territories. THZ531 ic50 For such understanding several modelling…[Read more]

By contrast, the blue back feathers’ barbs have melanin underneath the spongy matrix resulting in a much more saturated coloration. The color of these barbs is also even along the barbs’ length. Our results suggest that the color differences between the white and greenish-blue plumage are mostly due to the differential deposition of melanin and a…[Read more]

Arterial bleeding due to pelvic fracture can be life-threatening, and angiographic embolization is the gold standard for its control. Various materials have been described, but most of them are not widely available, mainly because of the high costs. Here, we report a case of use of autologous subcutaneous fat tissue for successfully controlling…[Read more]

Bioink with inherent antibacterial activity is of particular interest for tissue engineering application due to the growing number of bacterial infections associated with impaired wound healing or bone implants. However, the development of cell-laden bioink with potent antibacterial activity while supporting tissue regeneration proved to be…[Read more]

Cluster of differentiation 96 (CD96) is an important leukemic stem cells (LSCs) surface marker. We evaluated CD96 expression in children with acute leukemia (AL) and described its relation with treatment response. We conducted a prospective cohort study in Mansoura University Children’s Hospital, Egypt during the period from 2014 to 2016. We…[Read more]

(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).How do people decide whether to try out novel options as opposed to tried-and-tested ones? We argue that they infer a novel option’s reward from contextual information learned from functional relations and take uncertainty into account when making a decision. We propose a Bayesian…[Read more]

The leishmaniases are a group of diseases caused by protozoan parasites from Leishmania species. Effectiveness therapies for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL), the most common form, are still needed to be developed since the available drugs such as meglumine antimoniate (MA) present severe adverse reactions. Here, we develop and characterize…[Read more]
