Autophagy is a cellular process that involves the degradation of cellular components, which is triggered in cells during periods of nutrient deprivation or cellular stress [1]. The autophagy process consists of four essential stages: initiation, nucleation, maturation, and degradation [2]. The far-r...
Elastic net regularization is a form of conventional regression that combines both ridge and LASSO norms. It provides a penalization term to balance stability and parsimony with a lambda hyperparameter. In this way, it determines magnitude and an alpha hyperparameter regulating the balance between the...
The active form of the vitamin D3, 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3) has been shown to have major effects not only on physiological processes but also on the regulation of the immune system of vertebrates. Dendritic cells are specialised antigen presenting cells which are in charge ...
against the malaria parasite is defined by a protection against clinical episodes of malaria and is partially mediated by a repertoire of inhibitory antibodies directed against the blood stage of Plasmodium falciparum, in particular against surface proteins of merozoites, the invasive form of the ...
transfer between electron donors (NADH, succinate) and acceptors (O2) with the transport of protons (H+ ions) from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space, which builds a proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane that is used to generate energy in the form of ATP. ...

3a), or form extensive layers, possibly displaying fractures and microcracks (Fig. 3b). Soot represents a container for further accumulation of pollutants, indeed it may be rich in heavy metals, especially Pb, or include exogenous quartz, aluminosilicate minerals, chlorides, Al oxides, etc. Fig....
Surfactins are heptapeptides interlinked with a β-hydroxy fatty acid to form a cyclic lactone ring; due to their strong biosurfactant activity, these molecules can readily associate and anchor themselves to the double layer of phospholipids interfering with membrane integrity. Iturins are heptapeptide...
the plakoglobin gene (JUP), was identified in a fully penetrant autosomal-recessive form of AC associated with palmoplantar keratosis, also known as Naxos or cardiocutaneous syndrome [44]. Subsequently, mutations of the desmoplakin (DSP) gene were found to cause another autosomal recessive cardio...
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are distributed ubiquitously in the environment and form metabolites toxic to most organisms. Organic amendment of PAH contaminated soil with compost and farmyard manure has proven to be efficient for PAH bioremediation mediated by native microorganisms, even though information...
