Improving oral contraceptive pill continuation: application of the Theory of Planned Behavior

Payesh, 2013
Objective (s): Continuation rate is one of the most important factors in the success of any contraceptive methods. Although oral contraceptive pill (OCP) is the most reliable method for preventing pregnancy, a number of women do not contnue to use the ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Pre-exposure prophylaxis persistence at two sites in an integrated primary health care programme in South Africa

Frontiers in Public Health
IntroductionHIV continues to be a public health concern and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has become an important HIV prevention strategy. We examined PrEP persistence over time in two health facilities in Gauteng, South Africa.MethodsWe conducted a ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

THE RELIGIOUS DIMENSIONS OF THE BIOLOGICAL NARRATIVE

Zygon, 1994
. A cell/molecular biologist challenges the thesis that science and religion are two ways of experiencing and interpreting the world and explores instead the possible ways that the modern biological worldview might serve as a resource for religious ...

The topographic bias in Stokes’ formula vs. the error of analytical continuation by an Earth Gravitational Model - are they the same?

Journal of Geodetic Science, 2015
Geoid determination below the topographic surface in continental areas using analytical continuation of gravity anomaly and/or an external type of solid spherical harmonics determined by an Earth GravitationalModel (EGM) inevitably leads to a topographic

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.
