Coral disease dynamics in the central Philippines [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2006
Limited quantitative research has been conducted on coral disease in the Philippines and baseline data are much needed. Field surveys for prevalence and distribution patterns were conducted from November 2002 to August 2003. Sites included the islands of Negros, Cebu, Siquijor, Panglao, Olango, Sumilon, Bantayan, Pescador, Balicassag and Palawan.

Parkinson's Disease Patient‐Specific Striatum Organoids Show Hallmarks of Increased Inflammation

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dopaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra pars compacta project their axons into the dorsal striatum, forming the nigrostriatal pathway. In Parkinson's disease (PD), dopaminergic terminals degenerate in the striatum, leading to dopamine depletion, which in turn causes alterations in the basal ganglia circuits that are essential

Widespread loss of Caribbean acroporid corals was underway before coral bleaching and disease outbreaks

Science Advances, 2020
Endangered staghorn and elkhorn corals began disappearing from Caribbean reefs decades before climate change impacts. The mass mortality of acroporid corals has transformed Caribbean reefs from coral- to macroalgal-dominated habitats since systematic ...
