Central nervous system (CNS) injury has been observed to lead to microglia activation and monocytes infiltration at the lesion site.Ex vivo diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion MRI or DWI) allows detailed examination of CNS tissues, and recent advances in clearing procedures allow detailed imaging of fluorescent-labeled cells at high res
Abstract Among the three major food crops (rice, wheat and maize), wheat is unique in accumulating gluten proteins in its grains.Of these proteins, the high and low molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs and LMW-GSs) form glutenin macropolymers that are vital for the diverse end-uses of wheat grains.In this work, we developed a new series of d
This paper analyses simple models for "production-utilisation" split-reins-full-double-stitched-5-8 systems, reduced to two state variables for producers and utilisers, respectively.Two modes are distinguished: in "harvester" systems the resource utilisation involves active seeking on the part of the utilisers, while in "pr
MELiSSA (Micro Ecological Life Support System Alternative) is developing bioregenerative Life Support technologies for long-term Space missions.The MELiSSA concept is conceived as a loop with several compartments, each one performing a specific function, providing all together edible material production, atmosphere regeneration and water recovery w
