Immunohistochemical analysis by Iba-1 (microglia marker) was performed to assess the level of microglial cell activation in the region directly in contact with the implanted devices (Fig. 5a and Supplementary Fig. 13). These results indicated no significant differences in the levels of microglia act...
Zooplankton is generally depleted of the heavier13C isotope34and thus, Grottoli et al.35interpreted an increase in the δ13C value of two bleached hard corals to be caused by reduced heterotrophy. This may also explain the results of the present study, as reduced pulsation rates may affect t...
we carefully investigated the impact of dissolved oxygen, pH value, and the presence of bivalent calcium ions on pediocin production. It turned out that the formation of the peptide was strongly supported by an acidic pH of 5.7 and microaerobic conditions at a dissolved ...
Moreover, 10% (w/v) calcium chloride (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1,000 U of bovine thrombin (Sigma-Aldrich) were mixed in a 1:1 (v/v) ratio to prepare a solution that acted as an activator; this solution was added to the PRP solution (10:1 (v/v)). Finally, the mixture was incubated...
This work provided a feasible method to produce chemicals or fuels in the framework of carbon neutralization. Results and discussion Synthesis and characterization of amino-modified Pd catalysts HPC was prepared by a simple foaming method reported in our previous work,38, 39, 40 which was featured...

Results and discussion The goal of this work was to develop and validate a robust, sensitive, and selective assay for the simultaneous extraction and quantitation of AT, o-AT, and p-AT, suitable for determining the pharmacokinetics of these compounds in clinical and preclinical studies. The previ...
These results were similar to that of sorghum grain (312.0 g/kg) and show that bioenergy sorghum stem is a viable biofuel feedstock [1]. Fig. 1 Diversity of chemical components and theoretical ethanol yield, and their correlations in 147 bioenergy sorghums. S soluble sugar, C cellulose, H ...
We focus on genes that have been lost, changed in structure or expanded in the last few million years of bonobo evolution. We produce a high-resolution map of incomplete lineage sorting and estimate that around 5.1% of the human genome is genetically closer to chimpanzee or bonobo and that ...
The superior colliculus is a midbrain structure that plays important roles in visually guided behaviors in mammals. Neurons in the superior colliculus receive inputs from retinal ganglion cells but how these inputs are integrated in vivo is unknown. Here
