Cat-and-mouse is a two-player game on a finite graph. Chandra and Stockmeyer showed cat-and-mouse is P-complete on directed graphs. We show cat-and-mouse is P-complete on undirected graphs. To our knowledge, no proof of the directed case was ever published. To fill this gap we give a proof for directed graphs and extend it to undirected graphs. The proof is a reduction from a variant of the cir...

In multiple sclerosis Oligodendrocytes are obliterated by the immune system. neural stem/ progenitor cells (NS/P Cs) have the capacity to differentiate into mature myelinating oligodendrocytes. In embryonic mouse cortex oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are more abundant than the ganglionic eminence. Doing gene set enrichment analysis using DAVID and Panther websites it was shown that Gpr...

The recently determined C. elegans P-glycoprotein (Pgp) structure revealed significant deviations compared to the original mouse Pgp structure, which suggested possible misinterpretations in the latter model. To address this concern, we generated an experimental electron density map from single-wavelength anomalous dispersion phasing of an original mouse Pgp dataset to 3.8 Å resolution. The map...

despite a lot of research, the etiology and progression of breast cancer remain incompletely understood. recently, human cytomegalovirus (hcmv) was reported as a risk factor for breast cancer. the aim of this study was to know whether breast cancer could be caused by cytomegalovirus or not? in this experiment seventeen samples of razi/a mice with spontaneous breast cancer were being gathered fr...

We discovered the precise T-cell ligand of DC-HIL/Gpnmb to be a rare heparan sulfate (rHS) conserved between mice and human. created single-domain anti-rHS Ab (1A7) that inhibited melanoma growth in much more than anti-DC-HIL Ab. next compared 1A7 current industry standard for ICI, anti-PD1 (pembrolizumab), using vitro assays. Crosslinking rHS+ receptors on T cells by CD3-induced proliferation ...

Background: Vitrification of oocyte is one of the most important topics in the field of assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Considering the importance of oocyte vitrification in clinics, in the present study the effect of vitrification on mouse oocytes survivale rate and apoptosis by cryotop were investigated. Materials and Methods: 200 GV oocytes and 200 MII oocytes were obtained respectiv...

introduction: this study was designed to compare the effects of three vitrification procedures [conventional (c), open pulled straw (ops) and closed pulled straw (cps)] on morphological survival of two-cell mouse embryos and their subsequent development to hatched blastocysts. material and methods: two-cell mouse embryos were divided into four groups, control (194), ops (150), cps (155) and c (...
