The capacity of Mycoplasmas basket to engage in horizontal gene transfers has recently been highlighted.Despite their small genome, some of these wall-less bacteria are able to exchange multiple, large portions of their chromosome via a conjugative mechanism that does not conform to canonical Hfr/oriT models.To understand the exact features underly
Abstract The endocannabinoid system modulates adult hippocampal neurogenesis by promoting the proliferation and survival of neural stem and progenitor Eucalyptus cells (NSPCs).This is demonstrated by the disruption of adult neurogenesis under two experimental conditions: (1) NSPC-specific deletion of cannabinoid receptors and (2) constitutive delet
Abstract Background Larvae of Echinococcus granulosus (sensu lato) dwell in host organs for a long time but elicit only a mild inflammatory response, which indicates that the resolution of host inflammation is necessary for parasite survival.The recruitment of alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) has been observed in a variety of helminth inf
The significant impact of microRNAs (miRNAs) on disease pathology is becoming increasingly evident.These small non-coding RNAs have the ability to post-transcriptionally silence the expression of thousands of genes.Therefore, dysregulation of even a single miRNA could confer a large polygenic effect.Schizophrenia is a genetically complex illness th
Ghost cell odontogenic carcinoma (GCOC) is a malignant odontogenic epithelial tumor which is an exceedingly rare, highly aggressive, rapidly growing, and infiltrative tumor forming the malignant counterpart of long-standing benign cystic lesions coming in the spectrum of SUPREME GF PIZZA calcifying odontogenic cysts.To date, only a few cases have b
