Beta particles, being a lot smaller than alpha particles, can penetrate deeper than can their far more massive counterparts. Another type of beta particle is the positron, which occurs as a result of the decay of neutrons in the nucleus. These particles have the same mass as electrons, but ...
Self-propagating, infectious, virus-like particles are generated in animal cell lines transfected with a Semliki Forest virus RNA replicon encoding a single viral structural protein, the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) glycoprotein. We show here that these infectious particles, which we call propagati...
We evaluated the immunogenicity of virus-like replicon particles (VRP) derived from an attenuated strain of the alphavirus Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, encoding two pre-erythrocytic Plasmodium yoelii antigens, in mice. Three immunizing doses were superior to two, and the subcutaneous route ...
Radioisotopes, or radionuclides, are unstable forms of elemental matter either man-made or found in nature. They all undergo a spontaneous process of radioactive decay through the emission of alpha and beta particles, gamma rays, and more. All of the elements on the periodic table with atomic ...
Amyloid-laden islets from diabetic subjects were bigger than islets without amyloid (P < 0.001, Figure 4A), and β-cell/islet area was significantly reduced in amyloid-laden islets (P < 0.001, Figure 4B). There was no difference in β-cell/islet area between amyloid-negative islets from ...
Although genetic predisposition influences the onset and progression of insulin resistance and diabetes, dietary nutrients are critical. In general, protein is beneficial relative to carbohydrate and fat but dependent on protein source. Our recent study
derived (EpCAM+) EV counts were significantly lower in subjects under gluten exclusion than in celiac disease patients, although EpCAM+ EVs maintained higher counts than healthy subjects. The numbers of EpCAM+ EVs were a statistically significant predictor of intraepithelial leukocytes (IEL). These ...
Both the beta rays and the cathode ray are made up of electrons. So only option (a) is correct. (b) Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves. (c) Alpha particles are doubly ionized helium atoms and (d) Protons and neutrons have approximately the same m
Unexplained symptoms like itching, allergies to airborne particles, and Candida overgrowth resolved. Literally, our health (and lives) transformed within weeks.If it weren’t for Air Doctor, I don’t know what we would have done. We have two units in our home and our air quality improved in...
Viral particles produced from 293T cells were collected and used to infect MDA-MB-231 cells. Briefly, supernatant recovered after 48h from 293T transfected cells was filtered by a 0.45 μ m pore membrane and added to MDA-MB-231 plated cells supplemented with 4 μ g/mL polybrene...
