Spatial memory processing requires functional interaction between the hippocampus and the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC). The grid cells of the MEC are most abundant in layer II and rely on a complex network of local inhibitory interneurons to generate spatial firing properties. Stress can cause spatial memory deficits in males, but the specific underlying mechanisms affecting the known memory ...

Milk is produced in the udder by mammary epithelial cells (MEC). Milk contains MEC, which are gradually exfoliated from the epithelium during lactation. Isolation of MEC from milk using immunomagnetic separation may be a useful non-invasive method to investigate transcriptional regulations in ruminants' udder. This review aims to describe the process of isolating MEC from milk, to provide an ov...

We propose an exact solution for the problem of finding the size of a Markov equivalence class (MEC). For the bounded degree graphs, the proposed solution is capable of computing the size of the MEC in polynomial time. Our proposed approach is based on a recursive method for counting the number of the elements of the MEC when a specific vertex is set as the source variable. We will further use ...

Reaction of d(0) Zr(NMe2)2[MeC(N(i)Pr)2]2 (1) with O2 at -30 °C gives three Zr containing products: a peroxo trimer {(μ-η(2):η(2)-O2)Zr[MeC(N(i)Pr)2]2}3 (2), an oxo dimer {(μ-O)Zr[MeC(N(i)Pr)2]2}2 (3), and an oxo polymer {(μ-O)Zr[MeC(N(i)Pr)2]2}n (4). is a rarely observed peroxo complex from the reaction of a d(0) complex with O2.

Introduction. Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the lung is a rare form of lung cancer that is classified into low grade and high grade based on histological features. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for low-grade MEC with excellent outcomes, while high-grade MEC is a more aggressive form of malignancy. Clinical Case. We report a case of a 46-year-old woman who presented with dyspne...

Background & Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU), is one of the most frequent causes for hospitalizations in patients with diabetes. A major problem in the treatment of DFU is the increased-incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The aim of this study was to determine the SCCmec types of MRSA isolates and their epidemiology among pati...

Evidence for active DNA demethylation in vertebrates is accumulating, but the mechanisms and enzymes remain unclear. Using zebrafish embryos we provide evidence for 5-methylcytosine (5-meC) removal in vivo via the coupling of a 5-meC deaminase (AID, which converts 5-meC to thymine) and a G:T mismatch-specific thymine glycosylase (Mbd4). The injection of methylated DNA into embryos induced a pot...

Angiogenesis, defined as the growth of new vessels from pre-existing vessels, involves microvascular rather than large vessel endothelial cells. Accordingly, microvascular endothelial cell (MEC) proliferation assays are an appropriate in-vitro model of angiogenesis. We have developed a method for the isolation and long-term culture of large numbers of MEC from the human myometrium, tissue readi...

The medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) is a key structure which controls the communication between the hippocampus and the neocortex. During slow-wave sleep, it stands out from other cortical regions by exhibiting persistent activity that outlasts neocortical Up states, decoupling the entorhinal cortex-hippocampal interaction from the neocortex. Here, we compared the mechanisms involved in the main...
