Stroke is the dominant cause of sensorimotor disability that primarily affects the elderly. We now show that neuroplasticity and functional recovery after stroke is constrained by inhibitory chondroitin sulphates. In two blinded, randomized preclinical trials, degradation of chondroitin sulphate using chondroitinase ABC reactivated neuroplasticity and promoted sensorimotor recovery after stroke...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are central mediators of cardiac dysfunction after ischemia/reperfusion. ATP binding cassette mitochondrial erythroid (ABC-me; ABCB10; mABC2) is a mitochondrial transporter highly induced during erythroid differentiation and predominantly expressed in bone marrow, liver, and heart. Until now, ABC-me function in heart was unknown. Several...

Most members of the large ATP-binding cassette (ABC) gene family are transporters involved in substrate translocation across biological membranes. In eukaryotes, ABC proteins functioning as drug transporters are located in the plasma membrane and mediate the cellular efflux of a wide range of organic chemicals, with some transporters also transporting certain metals. As the enhanced expression ...

An N-tiling of triangle ABC by triangle T is a way of writing ABC as a union of N triangles congruent to T , overlapping only at their boundaries. The triangle T is the “tile”. The tile may or may not be similar to ABC. This paper is the first of four papers, which together seek a complete characterization of the triples (ABC,N, T ) such that ABC can be N-tiled by T . In this paper, we consider...

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm is very interesting population based swarm optimization technique. This technique is motivated by means of extraordinary nature of honey bees. ABC algorithm commonly used to get to the bottom of nonlinear and complex problems. Comparable to other population based strategies, ABC also has some negative aspects. It is computationally steep because of its slug...

ion category is used to express concept of work in FRBR sense [Pla98].Similarly, FRBR concepts as manifestation or item can be subsumed under ABCmodel concept of artifact. Figure B.7 shows hierarchy of ABC model concepts. ExamplesABC model authors provided following example of model use. Consider follow-ing narrative language description:"On June 14 2001 at the Wesley Hospit...

Con el objetivo de evaluar la inclusión proporciones harina hojas orégano (HHO) en alimento balanceado comercial (ABC) pollos engorde, se cuantificó fase inicio y peso corporal (PC), ganancia diaria (GDP), consumo diario (CDA), índice conversión alimenticia (ICA) mortalidad (MO) un diseño experimental completamente al azar. Se utilizaron 208 pollitos línea Ross distribuidos cuatro tratamientos:...

This study mainly focuses on enhancing the overall efficiency of gas transmission networks. The authors developed a model with detailed characteristics of compressor and pressure reduction stations. Following this, they suggested three different systems with gas turbine including: organic rankine cycle (ORC), air bottoming cycle (ABC), and ABC along with steam injection (SI-ABC). In addition, u...

The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein superfamily constitutes one of the largest protein families known in plants. In this report, we performed a complete inventory of ABC protein genes in Vitis vinifera, the whole genome of which has been sequenced. By comparison with ABC protein members of Arabidopsis thaliana, we identified 135 putative ABC proteins with 1 or 2 NBDs in V. vinifera. Of these...
