Fast-spiking cells (FS cells) are a prominent subtype of neocortical GABAergic interneurons with important functional roles. Multiple FS cell properties are coordinated for rapid response. Here, we describe an FS cell feature that serves to gate the powerful inhibition produced by FS cell activity. We show that FS cells in layer 2/3 barrel cortex possess a dampening mechanism mediated by Kv1.1-...

It is demonstrated that the accelerating and focusing phases of the nonlinear three-dimensional axisymmetric laser wake can almost entirely overlap starting from a certain distance behind the laser pulse in homogeneous plasma. Such field structure results from the curvature of phase fronts due to the radially inhomogeneous relativistic shift of plasma frequency. Consequently, the number of trap...

We calculate saturation curves for strange hadron matter using recently constructed baryon-baryon potentials which are constrained by SU(3) symmetry. All possible interaction channels within the baryon octet (consisting of N , Λ, Σ, and Ξ) are considered. It is found that a small Λ fraction in nuclear matter slightly increases binding, but that larger fractions (> 10%) rapidly cause a decrease....

The effects of heat treatment and concentration of fish serum (FS) on cell growth and human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) production in an adhesion culture of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, DR1000L4N, were investigated. The addition of heat treated FS instead of non-heat-treated FS improved cell growth in terms of cell density, which reached 60% that...

Follistatin (FS) inhibits several members of the TGF-beta superfamily, including myostatin (Mstn), a negative regulator of muscle growth. Mstn inhibition by FS represents a potential therapeutic approach of muscle atrophy. The aim of our study was to investigate the mechanisms of the FS-induced muscle hypertrophy. To test the role of satellite cells in the FS effect, we used irradiation to dest...

In this paper we prove existence the common fixed point with different conditions for $alpha-psi$-contractive mappings. And generalize weakly Zamfirescu map in to modified weakly Zamfirescu map.

Fifty-one dominant female sterile (Fs) mutations linked to the third chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster are described. EMS induced Fs mutations arise with the frequency of one Fs per about 2500 recessive lethals. Complementation analysis of the revertants showed that these Fs mutations represent 27-34 loci, about 60% of the third chromosome units mutable to dominant female sterility by EMS. ...

Follistatin (FS) is an important regulator of pituitary FSH secretion through its potent ability to bind and bioneutralize activin. It also represents a prototype for binding proteins that control bioavailability of other TGFbeta-related growth factors such as the bone morphogenetic proteins. The 288-residue FS molecule has a distinctive structure comprised principally of three 10-cysteine FS d...

banach contraction principle has been generalized in different spaces by mathematicians over the years. mustafa and sims [18] proposed a new class of generalized metric spaces, which are called as g-metric spaces. in this type of spaces a non-negative real number is assigned to every triplet of elements. many mathematicians studied extensively various results on g-metric spaces by using the con...
