Vitreous expression of cytokines and growth factors in patients with diabetic retinopathy-An investigation of their expression based on clinical diabetic retinopathy grade.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an inflammatory condition that affects the posterior of the eye; yet, there are limited published data on techniques measuring the expression of growth and inflammatory factors (GIF) from the posterior segment. The purpose of

Interaction energies in nematic liquid crystal suspensions

Forum of Mathematics, Sigma
We establish, as $\rho \to 0$ , an asymptotic expansion for the minimal Dirichlet energy of $\mathbb S^2$ -valued maps outside a finite number of particles of size $\rho $ with fixed centers $x_j\in {\mathbb R}^3$ , under general

The Rho-Dependent Transcription Termination Is Involved in Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Susceptibility in Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
One of the major ways of acquiring multidrug resistance in bacteria is via drug influx and efflux pathways. Here, we show that E. coli with compromised Rho-dependent transcription termination function has enhanced broad-spectrum antibiotic susceptibility,

A dispersive analysis of the pion vector form factor and $$\tau ^{-}\rightarrow K^{-}K_{S}\nu _{\tau }$$ τ-→K-KSντ decay

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2019
We explore the potential of a combined analysis of the decays $$\tau ^{-}\rightarrow \pi ^{-}\pi ^{0}\nu _{\tau }$$ τ-→π-π0ντ and $$\tau ^{-}\rightarrow K^{-}K_{S}\nu _{\tau }$$ τ-→K-KSντ in the determination of the $$\rho (1450)$$ ρ(1450) and $$\rho ...

The Functional Significance of the Rho/Rho-Kinase Pathway in Human Erythrocytes

Turkish Journal of Hematology, 2014
OBJECTIVE: Erythrocyte deformability, which can be influenced by various intracellular signaling mechanisms, such as nitric oxide, cAMP, cGMP, and protein kinases, is the most important physiological factor providing the blood flow in microcirculation ...

The Relation between Variances of 3D Density and Its 2D Column Density Revisited

The Astrophysical Journal
We revisit the relation between the variance of three-dimensional (3D) density ( ${\sigma }_{\rho }^{2}$ ) and that of the projected two-dimensional (2D) column density ( ${\sigma }_{{\rm{\Sigma }}}^{2}$ ) in turbulent media, which is of great importance

Depleting Mycobacterium tuberculosis of the transcription termination factor Rho causes pervasive transcription and rapid death

Nature Communications, 2017
The transcription termination factor Rho is essential for growth in some bacteria but not in others. Here, Botellaet al. show that Rho inactivation causes extensive pervasive transcription and loss of viability of the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis ...
