Sudden cardiac death remains a leading cause of mortality in Canada, resulting in more than 35,000 deaths annually. Most cardiac…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is a relatively rare tumor and can develop in almost any organ, but primary mesenteric NETs are extremely rare. In addition, liver metastases from synchronous double cancer of neuroendocrine tumor graded as G1 and second primary malignancies (SPMs) have never been reported before. We herein report a case of…[Read more]

05). RK-33 supplier The protein expression of p-GSK-3β in the R1 and R2 groups was significantly higher than that in the HC group (p less then 0.05). In conclusion, a high starch diet supplemented with rosiglitazone can improve growth, enhance the serum biochemical indices, and increase the muscle glycogen content in the GIFT tilapia. It benefits…[Read more]

Hallucinations, a central symptom of psychotic disorders, are attributed to excessive dopamine in the brain. However, the neural circuit mechanisms by which dopamine produces hallucinations remain elusive, largely because hallucinations have been challenging to study in model organisms. We developed a task to quantify hallucination-like perception…[Read more]

Many bacterial pathogens rely on virulent type III secretion systems (T3SSs) or injectisomes to translocate effector proteins in order to establish infection. The central component of the injectisome is the needle complex which assembles a continuous conduit crossing the bacterial envelope and the host cell membrane to mediate effector protein…[Read more]
