In the brain of patients with multiple sclerosis, activated microglia/macrophages appear in active lesions and in FACE VITAMINS normal appearing white matter.However, whether they play a beneficial or a detrimental role in the development of the pathology remains a controversial issue.The production of pro-inflammatory molecules by chronically acti
The movement and distribution of pregnant spotted ragged-tooth sharks, Carcharias taurus, in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, South Africa
The spotted ragged-tooth shark, Carcharias taurus, is widely distributed in subtropical continental coastal seas.In South Africa, it is commonly found along the entire south and east coasts, including the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (IWP) in the far north, which is the largest Marine Protected Area on the South African coast.Pregnant females occur th
Natural hazards in a changing world: a case for ecosystem-based management.
Communities worldwide are increasingly affected by natural hazards such as floods, droughts, wildfires and storm-waves.However, the causes of these increases remain underexplored, often attributed to climate changes or changes in the patterns of human exposure.This paper aims to quantify the effect of climate change, as well as land cover change, o
The pluripotency transcription factor Nanog represses glutathione reductase gene expression in mouse embryonic stem cells
Abstract Objective Redox homeostasis maintenance is essential to bring about cellular functions.Particularly, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have high fidelity mechanisms for DNA repair, high activity of different antioxidant enzymes and low levels of oxidative stress.Although the expression and activity of antioxidant enzymes are reduced throughout t
Research on entropy weight variation evaluation method for wind power clusters based on dynamic layered sorting
This paper presents an evaluation method for the entropy-weighting of wind power clusters that comprehensively evaluates the allocation problems of wind power clusters by considering the correlation between indicators and the dynamic performance of weight changes.A dynamic layered sorting allocation method is also proposed.The proposed evaluation m
