CHANGES OF DEEP GRAY MATTER MAGNETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OVER 2YEARS IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND HEALTHY CONTROL BRAIN

Changes of deep gray matter magnetic susceptibility over 2years in multiple sclerosis and healthy control brain

In multiple sclerosis, pathological changes of both tissue iron and myelin occur, yet these factors have not been characterized in a longitudinal fashion using the novel iron- and myelin-sensitive quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) MRI technique.We investigated disease-relevant tissue changes associated with myelin loss and iron accumulation

Effects of a sustained-release multi-trace element ruminal bolus on sex ratio, reproductive traits and lambs growth in synchronized Afshari ewes

The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of a sustained-release multi-trace element ruminal bolus on sex ratio, the reproductive performance and lambs growth of Afshari ewes.Eighty Afshari cycling ewes during breeding season were used in the trial.The animals were synchronized using CIDR for 14 days and assigned into 4 grou

Maize Thymidine Kinase Activity Is Present throughout Plant Development and Its Heterologous Expression Confers Tolerance to an Organellar DNA-Damaging Agent

Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) phosphorylates thymidine nucleosides to generate thymidine monophosphate.This reaction belongs to the pyrimidine salvage route that is phylogenetically conserved.In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, TK activity contributes to maintain nuclear and organellar genome integrity by providing deoxythymidine-triphosphate (dTTP
