LEVELS OF ANGIOGENESIS-REGULATORY CHEMOKINES IN THE SYNOVIAL FLUID OF PATIENTS WITH RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS


BDNF impact on synaptic dynamics: extra or intracellular long-term release differently regulates cultured hippocampal synapses

Abstract Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) signalling contributes to the formation, maturation and plasticity of Central Nervous System (CNS) synapses.Acute exposure of cultured brain circuits to BDNF leads to up-regulation of glutamatergic neuro-transmission, by the accurate tuning of pre and post synaptic features, leading to structural an

Exploring the canthariphilous species of the Tolfa Mountains (Latium, Central Italy): taxonomic diversity, phenology, and putative sources of cantharidin

AbstractCanthariphilous species are those arthropods attracted to cantharidin (CTD), a defensive compound produced by two beetle families (Meloidae and Oedemeridae).Although several species are known to be attracted to CTD, canthariphily was recently discovered in new species, suggesting that the list of canthariphilous species is still far from be

Functional heterogeneity of metabolites excreted by fungal and bacterial biofilms and their effects on seedling growth

Environmental conditions and physical interactions between microbial cells may alter the metabolites released by them.The present study examined the functional Canes/Canes differences of metabolites excreted by three biofilms viz., a fungal biofilm of Aspergillus sp.(FB), a bacterial biofilm of Enterobactor sp.(BB), and their mixed-culture biofilm
