THE East African Parliamentary Commission has started on its long journey, a journey fraught with great and manifold possibilities. If any assurance was needed that scientific matters would receive their fair share of attention, it is to be found in the
Several writing teams provided a full text of their summary, and these are included in Additional file 2: Appendix 2. Advancing plant and animal breeding Increasing production without increasing land or resource use, coupled with changes in extreme climate events, presents new opportunities and ...
which have taken the centre stage as important players in AD research, there is new and exciting evidence pointing to adaptive immune cells, namely T and B cells found in the brain

Is International Pressure Failing in Sri Lanka? The end of the decades-old civil war in Sri Lanka enabled the world to shift its focus to events in Africa and the Middle East. Not smart, argue numerous observers. Colombo now appears unwilling to integrate meaningful reconciliation and reintegrati...
“evolutionary transfer events” were likely achieved through the asexual transfer of small amounts of DNA during the bloodborne infection stage, mainly via EVs [21]. Indeed, this suggestion was based on previous findings reporting thatP. falciparumcan be transformed by the spontaneous take-up of...
22, 23, 24 Therefore, the mechanisms underlying orthodontic pain lie in periodontal inflammatory responses induced by orthodontic forces. The periodontal inflammation response includes three components: vascular, cellular and chemical events. The three components interact with each other and form a network...
[29]. Advancements in genome editing and delivery technologies are progressing faster than our capacity to effectively generate modified events because of the limited availability of reliable ways for regenerating viable plants in numerous crops including oilseeds and millets [4]. Transgenic plant ...
In the setting of STEMI, high levels of ST2 can be used for “Risk stratification” to identify patients at high risk of developing adverse cardiovascular events like progressive HF or death. The ST2 level gives information about wall stress, inflammation, macrophage activation (fibrosis), hence ...
