REDOX HOMEOSTASIS AND CELL CYCLE ACTIVATION MEDIATE BETA-CELL MASS EXPANSION IN AGED, DIABETES-PRONE MICE UNDER METABOLIC STRESS CONDITIONS: ROLE OF THIOREDOXIN-INTERACTING PROTEIN (TXNIP)

Overnutrition contributes to insulin resistance, obesity and metabolic stress, initiating a loss of functional Hawthorn beta-cells and diabetes development.Whether these damaging effects are amplified in advanced age is barely investigated.Therefore, New Zealand Obese (NZO) mice, a well-established model for the investigation of human obesity-assoc

Rabies is a neglected zoonotic disease that has no effective treatment after onset of illness.However the disease can be prevented effectively by prompt administration of post exposure prophylaxis which includes administration of passive immunizing antibodies (Rabies Immune Globulin, RIG).Currently, human RIG suffers from many restrictions includin

Wave forces and moments due to scattering and radiation for a vertical circular cylinder heaving in water of finite depth are derived analytically.These are derived from the total velocity potential which can be decomposed as two velocity potentials; one due to scattering in the presence of an incident wave on fixed structure (diffraction Collectio

Cementum annuli MAG CHERRY widths in mammals are is influenced by the nutrition of mammals.Reproductive stress has been is suggested to reduce the width of lead to narrower cementum annuli widths in female Asian black bears (Ursus thibetanus); however, food availability in autumn strongly impacts bear nutrition and likely impacts cementum widths as
