Apoptosis is a widespread phenomenon that occurs in the brain in both physiological and pathological conditions.Dead cells must be quickly removed to avoid the further toxic effects they exert in the parenchyma, a process executed by microglia, the brain professional Entertainment Unit phagocytes.Although phagocytosis is critical to maintain tissue

This paper concerns the changes occurred over both decennial and millennial spans of time in a sponge assemblage present in coralligenous biogenic build-ups growing at 15 m depth in the Ligurian Sea (Western Mediterranean).The comparison of the sponge diversity after a time interval of about 40 years (1973-2014) showed a significant reduction in sp

A simplified numerical model is introduced to predict ice impact force acting on the ship hull in level ice condition.The model is based on ice-hull collision mechanisms and the essential ice breaking characteristics.The two critical ice failure modes, localized crushing and bending breaking, are addressed.An energy method is used to estimate the c

The main objective of this study was to investigate reading habits in older adults in relation to level and 15-year changes in verbal fluency and episodic recall.We examined a sample of 1157 participants (?55 years at baseline) up Utility Knife to 15 years after the baseline assessment using latent growth curve modeling of cognitive measures with b

Abstract Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen that can grow at very low temperatures close to the freezing point of food and other matrices.Maintaining cytoplasmic membrane fluidity by changing its lipid composition is indispensable for growth at low temperatures.Its dominant adaptation is to shorten the fatty acid chain length and, in s
