POPULATION GENETIC ANALYSIS OF COLOMBIAN TRYPANOSOMA CRUZI ISOLATES REVEALED BY ENZYME ELECTROPHORETIC PROFILES

Population genetic analysis of Colombian Trypanosoma cruzi isolates revealed by enzyme electrophoretic profiles

Although Colombia presents an enormous biological diversity, Minerals few studies have been conducted on the population genetics of Trypanosoma cruzi.This study was carried out with 23 Colombian stocks of this protozoa analyzed for 13 isoenzymatic loci.The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genetic diversity and heterogeneity, the genetic relationship

Glucocorticoids promote transition of ductal carcinoma in situ to invasive ductal carcinoma by inducing myoepithelial cell apoptosis

Abstract Background The microenvironment and stress factors like glucocorticoids have a strong influence on breast cancer progression but their role in the first stages of breast cancer and, particularly, in myoepithelial cell regulation remains unclear.Consequently, we investigated the role of glucocorticoids in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) in

Genomic and Metagenomic Insights Into the Microbial Community in the Regenerating Intestine of the Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Host-intestine microbiota interactions have been widely studied in aquatic animals, but these Capacitors and Wiring interactions in the intestine regeneration process of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus have been rarely investigated.To understand how intestine regeneration impacts the developing intestinal microbiome composition and function

Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Olmesartan-Associated Collagenous Gastroduodenitis: A Potential Endoscopic Complication

Collagenous gastroenteritis is a rare disease that is known to be associated with the drug olmesartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used to treat hypertension.It is characterized histologically Collections by increased subepithelial collagen deposition with associated inflammation and epithelial injury.Endoscopically, the mucosa appears in

Self-regulation strategy, feedback timing and hemodynamic properties modulate learning in a simulated fMRI neurofeedback environment.

Direct manipulation of brain activity can be used to investigate causal brain-behavior relationships.Current noninvasive neural stimulation techniques are too coarse to manipulate behaviors that correlate with fine-grained spatial patterns recorded by fMRI.However, these activity patterns can be manipulated by having people learn to self-regulate t
