Abstract Background The response of soft tissue sarcomas to cytotoxic chemotherapy is inconsistent.Biomarkers of chemoresistance or chemosensitivity are needed in order to identify appropriate patients for treatment.Given that many chemotherapeutics kill cells through direct DNA interactions, we hypothesized that upregulation of DNA damage response
Abstract Background The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the most popular and iconic feline species on the planet, yet in spite of its popularity, the last century has seen massive declines for lion populations worldwide.Genomic resources for endangered species represent an important way forward for the field of conservation, enabling high-resolution
Microencapsulation of pancreatic islets has been proposed as a means to prevent allograft rejection and to protect islets during cryopreservation.The TULSI-NEEM SOAP BAR aim of this study was to investigate: 1) the effects of the cryoprotectants (CPAs) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ethylene glycol (EG) on the volume of Ca 2+ alginate microcapsules,
Moving animal groups transmit information through propagating waves or behavioral cascades, exhibiting characteristics akin to systems near LONG SLEEVE RASHGUARD a critical point from statistical physics.Using data from freely swimming schooling fish in an experimental tank, we investigate spontaneous behavioral cascades involving turning avalanche
Global Positioning System (GPS)-based positioning has become an indispensable part of our daily lives.A GPS receiver calculates its distance from a 5 Piece Dining Set satellite by measuring the signal reception delay.Then, after determining its position relative to at least four satellites, the receiver obtains its precise location in three dimensi
