To form functional neuronal connections, axon outgrowth and guidance must be tightly regulated across space as well as time.While a number of genes and pathways have been shown to control spatial features of axon development, very little is known about the in vivo mechanisms that direct the timing of axon initiation and elongation.The Caenorhabditi
In this study, a halotolerant yeast that is Lacrosse - Protective - Arm capable of efficiently decolorizing and detoxifying azo dyes was isolated, identified and characterized for coping with the treatment of azo-dye-containing wastewaters.A characterization of the yeast, including the optimization of its metabolism and growth conditions, its detox
The evolutionarily conserved RNA helicase DDX6 is a central player in post-transcriptional regulation, but its role during embryogenesis remains elusive.We here show that DDX6 enables proper cell lineage specification from pluripotent cells by analyzing Ddx6 knockout (KO) mouse embryos and employing an in vitro epiblast-like cell (EpiLC) induction
Electromyography (EMG) sensors produce a stream of data at rates that can easily saturate a low-energy wireless link such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), especially if more than a few EMG channels are being transmitted simultaneously.Compressing data can thus be seen as a nice feature that could allow both longer battery life and more simultaneous c
IntroductionMozambique continues to have a significant burden of HIV.Developing strategies to control the HIV epidemic remains a key priority for the Mozambican public health community.The primary aim of this study was to determine HIV prevalence and risk behavior among males and females screened for a HIV vaccine preparedness study in Maputo, Moza
