CHANGES IN PLATELET-RICH FIBRIN COMPOSITION AFTER TRAUMA AND SURGICAL INTERVENTION


Comparison of Microbial Communities in the Sediments and Water Columns of Frozen Cryoconite Holes in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica

Although cryoconite holes, sediment-filled melt holes on glacier surfaces, Mattress Topper appear small and homogenous, their microbial inhabitants may be spatially partitioned.This partitioning could be particularly important for maintaining biodiversity in holes that remain isolated for many years, such as in Antarctica.We hypothesized that cryoc

Boltzmann energy-based image analysis demonstrates that extracellular domain size differences explain protein segregation at immune synapses.

Immune synapses formed by T and NK cells both show segregation of the integrin ICAM1 from other proteins such as CD2 (T cell) or KIR (NK cell).However, the mechanism by which these proteins segregate remains unclear; one key hypothesis is a redistribution based on protein size.Simulations of this mechanism qualitatively reproduce observed segregati

Genetic Evidence of Hybridization between the Endangered Native Species Iguana delicatissima and the Invasive Iguana iguana (Reptilia, Iguanidae) in the Lesser Antilles: Management Implications.

The worldwide increase of hybridization in different groups is thought to have become more important with the loss of isolating barriers and the introduction of invasive species.This phenomenon could result in the extinction of endemic species.This study aims at investigating the hybridization dynamics between the endemic and threatened Lesser Anti
