NOVEL VIRUSES OF THE FAMILY PARTITIVIRIDAE DISCOVERED IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE.


Enhancing neuroprotective effect of aminosalicylic acid-grafted chitosan electrospun fibers for spinal cord injury

The hyperinflammation microenvironment after spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a great challenge for neural regeneration.Methylprednisolone has been used to reduce the inflammatory response after SCI, but it is controversial due to side effects associated with off-specific targeting effects.In this study, we synthesized in situ 5-ASA grafted chitosa

The automatic parameter-exploration with a machine-learning-like approach: Powering the evolutionary modeling on the origin of life.

The origin of life involved complicated evolutionary processes.Computer modeling is a promising way to reveal relevant mechanisms.However, due to the limitation of our knowledge on prebiotic chemistry, it is usually difficult to justify parameter-setting for the modeling.Thus, typically, the studies were conducted in a reverse way: the parameter-sp

Hem-o-lok clip found in the common bile duct 3 years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and surgical exploration

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with stone extraction is a common and preferred choice for gallstone disease.Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) are being increasingly used for managing choledocholithiasis and cholecystolithiasis.We report a case of a Hem-o-lok clip that was

Genetic evidence for restricted dispersal along continuous altitudinal gradients in a climate change-sensitive mammal: the American Pika.

When faced with rapidly changing environments, wildlife species are left to adapt, disperse or disappear.Consequently, there is value in investigating the connectivity of populations of species inhabiting different environments in order to evaluate dispersal as a potential strategy for persistence in the face of climate change.Here, we begin to inv
