Pendrin (PDS) and sodium/iodide symporter (NIS) are transmembrane proteins that are located in numerous tissue types, particularly thyroid follicular epithelial cells, where they are entrusted with the regulation of iodine molecules. In the present study, we aimed to clarify changes in PDS and NIS protein expression, in the testicular tissue of prepubertal and <span la...

nicr2o4 normal spinel nanostructures were prepared via hydrothermal treatment at 180 °c for 12 h in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab), sodium dodecyl sulphate (sds) and poly vinylpyrrolidone-25000 (pvp-25000) as capping agents and subsequent calcination process at 500 °c for 3 h . in this method, [ni(en)2(h2o)2](no3)2 and [cr(en)3]cl3.3h2o used as precursors and not utilized...

The endometrial layer of the uterus contains a population of cells with similar characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In the present study, caprine endometrial mesenchymal stromal stem cells (En-MSCs) characters and differentiation potential to chondrogenic, osteogenic, and adipogenic cell lines as well as their growth kinetics in breeding and anestrous stages were evaluated. En-MSC...

BACKGROUND Tuberculosis of the central nervous system continues to be a major health hazard in developing countries like India. There are various manifestations of central nervous system tuberculosis including meningitis and space occupying lesions. We present a case of tuberculoma en-plaque which is often initially confused with a meningioma on presentation. We also review the literature relev...

This book focuses on the automatic identification of musical piece versions (alternate renditions of the same musical composition like cover songs, live recordings, remixes, etc.). In particular, two core approaches for version identification are proposed: model-free and model-based. Furthermore, the book introduces the use of post-processing strategies to improve the identification of versions...

From an original A2 allele (colored aleurone), a mutable allele, a2-m-4 1629, that changes from a2 to A2 is described. Mutability is expressed as a very distinct pattern limited to the last cell division.-The mutability of a2-m-4 1629 is autonomously controlled by an En at the a2 locus. This En, inactive on standard a testers for En, is partially active on a2-m-1, an a2 tester for En, and expre...

Genetic analysis shows that Engrailed (En), a homeodomain-containing transcription factor, has both negative and positive targets. Negative regulation is expected from a factor that has a well-defined repressor domain but activation is harder to comprehend. We used VP16En, a form of En that had its repressor domain replaced by the activation domain of VP16, to show that En activates targets usi...
