Astrocytes, one of the largest glial cell population in the central nervous system (CNS), play a key function in several events of brain development and function, such as synapse formation and function, control of neurotransmitters release and uptake, production of trophic factors and control of neuronal survival.Initially described as a homogenous
Abstract Background With the increasing interest in vaccines to interrupt malaria transmission, there is a demand for harmonization of current methods to assess Plasmodium transmission in laboratory settings.Potential vaccine candidates are currently tested in the standard membrane feeding assay (SMFA) that commonly relies on Anopheles stephensi mo
In order to solve the problem of fuel pollution, the diesel fuel for power generation of marine was abandoned and shore power supply have been proposed at the historic moment.The Shore Power Supply which needs transferring 380V/50Hz to 450V/60Hz is used on shipping who need this kind of power, so effectively curbs the emissions Utensils of pollutio
Layered carbon fiber composites (CFC) with enhanced shielding effectiveness (SE) were prepared with mixed fillers of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbonyl iron powders (CIPs) in the form of a Koch curve fractal.In the layered composite structure, glass fiber (GF) cloth was used in the wave−transmissive layer (WTL), and the carbon fiber (CF) cl
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a class of zinc-contained endopeptidases, are closely involved in tumor growth, infiltration, metastasis, and angiogenesis.By virtue of the specifically enzymatic hydrolysis, MMPs have been widely used to turn on imaging and/or therapy function of elaborately designed enzyme-responsive nanoprobes, which is expected
