Abstract Signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT-3) is a transcription factor that regulates the gene expression of several target genes.These factors are activated by the binding of cytokines and growth factors with STAT-3 specific receptors on cell membrane.Few years ago, STAT-3 was considered an acute phase response element ha
Protection of Mice against Experimental Cryptococcosis by Synthesized Peptides Delivered in Glucan Particles
ABSTRACT The high global burden of cryptococcosis has made development of a protective vaccine a public health priority.We previously demonstrated that a vaccine composed of recombinant Cryptococcus neoformans chitin deacetylase 2 (Cda2) delivered in glucan particles (GPs) protects BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice from an otherwise lethal challenge with a h
Probabilistic Machine Learning for the Authentication of the Protected Designation of Origin of Greek Bottarga from Messolongi: A Generic Methodology to Cope with Very Small Number of Samples
Consumers are increasingly interested in the geographical origin of foodstuff, as an important characteristic of food authenticity and quality.To assure the authenticity of the geographical origin, various methods have been proposed.Stable isotope analysis is a method Missouri Star Publications that has been extensively used for products like wine,
Enhancing UV Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells with Transparent Fluorinated Polyimide
Ultraviolet (UV)-induced degradation is one of College the major problems in the field of perovskite solar cells (PSCs).Therefore, exploring materials and techniques to prevent UV light from penetrating into the device is urgently necessary.Here, we developed a special transparent fluorinated polyimide (FPI) resin, which can be directly spin-coated
Experiences of participants in the co-design of a community-based health service for people with high healthcare service use
Abstract Background Incorporating perspectives of health consumers, healthcare workers, policy makers and stakeholders through co-design is essential to design services that are fit for purpose.However, the experiences of co-design participants are poorly understood.The aim of this study is to explore the experiences and perceptions of people invol
