Summary: Microglia are an exquisitely tiled and self-contained population in the CNS that do not receive contributions from circulating monocytes in the periphery.While microglia are long-lived cells, the extent to which their cell bodies are fixed and the molecular mechanisms by which the microglial landscape is regulated have not been determined.
Abstract Boundary conditions for a massless Dirac fermion in 2+1 dimensions where the space is a half-plane are discussed in detail.It is argued that linear boundary conditions that leave the Hamiltonian Hermitian generically break C P and T symmetries as well as Lorentz and conformal symmetry.We show that there is essentially one special case wher
Major foodborne bacterial pathogens, such as Campylobacter jejuni, have devised complex strategies to establish and foster intestinal infections.For more than two decades, researchers have used immortalized cell lines derived from human intestinal Door Seal End tissue to dissect C.jejuni-host cell interactions.Known from these studies is that C.jej
Climate change-induced food shortages pose major threats to wildlife conservation, and the exclusive reliance of giant pandas on bamboo makes them particularly vulnerable.The aim of this study was to provide insight into the reasons for the foraging strategies of giant pandas to selectively forage for different bamboo parts (bamboo shoot, culm, and
This study explores the nature of the oral-nasal vowel contrast in Brazilian Portuguese (BP).While vowel nasality is a salient property in the language, scholars differ on whether this property forms the basis of a phonological contrast.The presence of a consonant-like nasal resonance at the right edge of the heavily nasalized vowels (i.e., nasal a
