Neurotoxicity of a Novel Local Anesthetic Agent, Ropivacaine: The Possible Roles of Bursts of Potential and Cytoplasmic Second Messenger

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2007
Ropivacaine has been shown to induce convulsion following overdose or accidental intravenous injection, but the mechanisms are poorly understood.

A field survey using LAMP assay for detection of Schistosoma mansoni in a low-transmission area of schistosomiasis in Umbuzeiro, Brazil: Assessment in human and snail samples

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
Background In Brazil, schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease of public health relevance, mainly in poor areas where Schistosoma mansoni is the only human species encountered and Biomphalaria straminea is one of the intermediate host snails.

Valuing the Prevention of an Infestation: The Threat of the New Zealand Mud Snail in Northern Nevada [PDF]

The Truckee / Carson / Walker River Watershed in Northern Nevada is under an imminent threat of infestation by the New Zealand Mud Snail, an aquatic nuisance species with the potential to harm recreational fisheries. We combine a utility-theoretic system-

Bioprinting‐Assisted Tissue Assembly to Investigate Endothelial Cell Contributions in Cardiac Fibrosis and Focal Fibrosis Modeling

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
GA: Bioprinting‐assisted tissue assembly, a method for generating versatile and complex tissue constructs, is employed to investigate the contribution of endothelial cells (ECs) in cardiac fibrosis. ECs modulate fibrotic responses not only by preventing significant tissue stiffening and contractile impairment but also by exhibiting endothelial‐to ...

Knockdown of long non‐coding RNA linc‐ITGB1 inhibits cancer stemness and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition by reducing the expression of Snail in non‐small cell lung cancer

Thoracic Cancer, 2019
Background The main cause of death in patients with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the progression of cancer metastasis, which can be attributed to multiple factors, such as cancer stem cells (CSCs) and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT ...

Tuning Cellular Perception in Pluripotent Stem Cells through Topography, Stiffness, and Patterning

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Micro‐ and nanotopographical cues, substrate stiffness, and mechanical patterning synergistically direct pluripotent stem cell fate and function by tuning cellular perception at the biointerface. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), comprised of embryonic stem cells and induced PSCs, hold tremendous therapeutic potential.

Diet of schistosome vectors influences infection outcomes

Ecosphere
Resource availability can alter infection outcomes through its impact on host immunity and on parasite reproduction. On one hand, enhanced nutrition could favor immunity, limiting the parasite, and on the other hand, it could favor establishment and ...

A comparative parasitologic study on Biomphalaria glabrata snail and C3H/He mice infected with human and murine isolates of Schistosoma mansoni derived from Sumidouro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003
Experiments were carried out to analyze the biological characteristics of two sympatric isolates of Schistosoma mansoni derived from humans and murines in a low endemic transmission area (Sumidouro county, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).

Snail/Slug-YAP/TAZ Complexes Control Skeletal Stem Cell Self-Renewal and Differentiation

Nature Cell Biology, 2016
Bone-marrow-derived skeletal stem/stromal cell (SSC) self-renewal and function are critical to skeletal development, homeostasis and repair. Nevertheless, the mechanisms controlling SSC behaviour, particularly bone formation, remain ill-defined.
