HIDDEN AGENDA - THE INVOLVEMENT OF ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM STRESS AND UNFOLDED PROTEIN RESPONSE IN INFLAMMATION-INDUCED MUSCLE WASTING

Hidden Agenda - The Involvement of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Unfolded Protein Response in Inflammation-Induced Muscle Wasting

Critically ill patients at the intensive care unit (ICU) often develop a generalized weakness, called ICU-acquired weakness (ICUAW).A major contributor to ICUAW is muscle atrophy, a loss of skeletal muscle mass and function.Skeletal muscle assures almost all of the vital functions of our body.It adapts rapidly in response to physiological as well a

The Difficulties of Ex Situ Conservation: A Nationwide Investigation of Avian Haemosporidia Among Captive Penguins in Japan

Avian malaria has been a continuous problem in both wild and captive populations of penguins throughout the world.In Japan, where there are color touch 7/97 over 3000 captive penguins, avian malaria (by Plasmodium spp.) and haemoproteosis (by Haemoproteus spp.) have been sporadically detected throughout the country.However, no comprehensive studies

StAGE: Stellar Archaeology-driven Galaxy Evolution

We build a semiempirical framework of galaxy evolution (dubbed StAGE ) firmly grounded on stellar archaeology.The latter provides data-driven prescriptions that, on a population statistical ground, allow us to define the age and 1073spx the star formation history for the progenitors of quiescent galaxies (QGs).We exploit StAGE to compute the cosmic

The comparative efficacy and safety of basiliximab and antithymocyte globulin in deceased donor kidney transplantation: a multicenter cohort study

Background Generally, an induction agent is chosen based on the conditions of the deceased donor and the recipient.Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) is preferred in relatively high-risk conditions.No clear evidence indicates which induction agent is safer or more efficient for deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT).This study compares the efficacy
