Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) is widely used in golf course settings for its desirable playing surface Nutcracker characteristics; however, it is highly susceptible to diseases that can disrupt surface integrity and cause significant losses despite preventative management.Understanding the influence of early plant growth and basic manag
Assessing the Effects of Banana Pingers as a Bycatch Mitigation Device for Harbour Porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Bycatch is a significant cause of population declines of marine megafauna globally.While numerous bycatch mitigation strategies exist, acoustic alarms, or pingers, are the most widely adopted strategy for small cetaceans.Although pingers have been shown to be an effective measure for numerous species, there are some concerns about their long-term u
Inhibitory receptor expression depends more dominantly on differentiation and activation than exhaustion of human CD8 T cells
Under conditions of chronic antigen stimulation, such as persistent viral infection and cancer, CD8 T cells may diminish effector function, which has been termed exhaustion.Expression of inhibitory Receptors (iRs) is often regarded as a hallmark of exhaustion.Here we studied the expression of eight different iRs by CD8 T cells of healthy humans, in
Effects of aging on the biomechanical properties of the lung extracellular matrix: dependence on tissular stretch
Introduction: Aging induces functional and structural changes in the lung, characterized by a decline in elasticity and diminished pulmonary remodeling and regenerative capacity.Emerging evidence suggests that most biomechanical alterations in the lung result from changes in the composition of the lung extracellular matrix (ECM), potentially modula
Comparative analysis of codon usage patterns of Plasmodium helical interspersed subtelomeric (PHIST) proteins
BackgroundPlasmodium falciparum is a protozoan parasite that Sleep Support causes the most severe form of malaria in humans worldwide, which is predominantly found in sub-Saharan Africa, where it is responsible for the majority of malaria-related deaths.Plasmodium helical interspersed subtelomeric (PHIST) proteins are a family of proteins, with a c
