MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY INDUCES TRANSIENT, SEQUENTIAL INCREASES IN PROLIFERATION, NEUROBLASTS/IMMATURE NEURONS, AND CELL SURVIVAL: A TIME COURSE STUDY IN THE MALE MOUSE DENTATE GYRUS

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) are prevalent worldwide.mTBIs can impair hippocampal-based functions such as memory and cause network hyperexcitability of the dentate gyrus (DG), a key entry point to hippocampal circuitry.One candidate for mediating mTBI-induced hippocampal cognitive and physiological dysfunction is injury-induced changes in

Abstract Background The HIV-1 p6 Gag protein regulates the final abscission step of nascent virions from the cell membrane by the action of two late assembly (L-) domains.Although p6 is located within one of the most polymorphic regions of the HIV-1 gag gene, the 52 amino acid peptide binds at least to two cellular budding factors (Tsg101 and ALIX)

Abstract Background Carpenter ants (genus Camponotus) are considered to be omnivores.Nonetheless, the genome sequence of Blochmannia floridanus, the obligate intracellular endosymbiont of Camponotus floridanus, suggests a function in nutritional upgrading of host resources by the bacterium.Thus, the strongly reduced genome of the endosymbiont retai

Parapharyngeal tumor lesions present a low incidence, representing between 0,5 and 0,8% of all head and neck tumors.Approximately 80% show benign behavior.The uniqueness of these lesions derives from their 1994-2004 complex anatomical situation and the symptoms with which they usually appear, being in most cases nonspecific and almost always derive
