Single-species population models with age structure and psychological effect in a polluted environment [PDF]
This paper considers a single-population model with age structure and psychological effects in a polluted environment. We divide the single population into two stages of larval and adult structure. The model uses Logistic input, and the larvae are converted into adult bodies by constant ratio. We only consider adulthood.

Dorsal lateral geniculate substructure in the Long-Evans rat: A cholera toxin B-subunit study [PDF]
This study describes the substructure of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus of the pigmented rat (Rattus norvegicus) based on the eye-of-origin of its retinal ganglion cell inputs. We made monocular intra-ocular injections of the B-subunit of cholera toxin (CTB), a sensitive anterograde tracer, in three adult male Long-Evans rats. In

The NlpC_P60 superfamily of peptidases is recognised by its key role in bacterial cell wall homeostasis. Recently, studies have also described the involvement of NlpC_P60‐like enzymes in bacterial competitive mechanisms and pathogenesis across several lineages.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Influence of Food Matrices on the Stability and Bioavailability of Abrin
Abrin, a highly toxic plant toxin, is a potential bioterror weapon. Work from our laboratory and others have shown that abrin is highly resistant to both thermal and pH inactivation methods.

Collocation Method using Compactly Supported Radial Basis Function for Solving Volterra's Population Model [PDF]
In this paper, indirect collocation approach based on compactly supported radial basis function is applied for solving Volterras population model. The method reduces the solution of this problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. Volterras model is a non-linear integro-differential equation where the integral term represents the effect

The S1025 peptide is the major antidote to the YrzI toxin, which we renamed here as SpyT (Small Peptide YrzI Toxin) and SpyA (Small Peptide YrzI Antitoxin) (1). Degradation of the toxin–antitoxin spyTA mRNA, either by a translation‐dependent cleavage by the endoribonuclease Rae1 (2) or by direct attack by 3′‐exoribonucleases (3), also contributes to ...

Development and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Botulinum Neurotoxin Type E
Botulism is a devastating disease caused by botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) secreted primarily by Clostridium botulinum. Mouse bioassays without co-inoculation with antibodies are the standard method for the detection of BoNTs, but are not capable of ...

Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

The most often used medication in hospitals is oxygen, which is a crucial component in prehospital treatment. Prehospital providers administer oxygen to eliminate hypoxemia and hypoxia. Clinical settings of oxygen toxicity are categorized into acute oxygen toxin and habitual (chronic) oxygen toxin.
