In humans, identity is partly encoded in a voice-print that is carried across multiple vocalizations.Other species also signal vocal identity in calls, such as shown in the contact call of parrots.However, it remains unclear to what extent other call types in parrots are individually distinct, and whether there is an analogous voice-print across ca
Considerable changes in the social and built environment contributed to alterations in physical activity, which potentially affect physical fitness.Long-term data on various components of physical fitness with multiple assessments in similar cohorts, however, remains limited.The present study, therefore, examined secular trends in physical fitness
Brush Guards Self-assembled peptide hydrogels have emerged in recent years as the new paradigm in biomaterials research.We have contributed to this field the development of hydrogels based on dehydrodipeptides N-capped with naproxen.The dehydrodipeptide hydrogels can be loaded with drugs, thus being potential nanocarriers for drug delivery.In this
We report a clinical case of a 39-year old male, without any LANTERN known previous medical condition but with occupational exposure to paints and dust cement, who presented an autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) triggered by exposure to toxic inhalation at his workplace.PAP is a rare lung disease characterized by intra-alveolar abnorma
BACKGROUND: Fushi tarazu factor 1 (FTZ-F1) encodes an orphan nuclear receptor belonging to the nuclear receptor family 5A (NR5A) which includes adrenal 4-binding protein or steroidogenic factor-1 (Ad4BP/SF-1) and liver receptor homologue 1 (LRH-1) and plays a pivotal role in the regulation of aromatases.METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Present study
