CHARACTERIZATION OF T CELL ACTIVATION AND REGULATION IN CHILDREN WITH ASYMPTOMATIC PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM INFECTION

Characterization of T cell activation and regulation in children with asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infection

Abstract Background Asymptomatic Plasmodium infections are characterized by the absence of clinical disease and the ability to restrict parasite voyage et cie discount code replication.Increasing levels of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in Plasmodium falciparum infections have been associated with the risk of developing clinical disease, suggesting tha

Dopaminergic Neuromodulation of Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity in Mature Adult Rodent and Human Cortical Neurons

Synapses in the cerebral cortex constantly change and this dynamic property regulated by the action of neuromodulators such as dopamine (DA), is essential for reward learning and memory.DA modulates spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), a cellular model of learning and memory, in juvenile rodent cortical neurons.However, it is unknown whether t

Cervical bronchogenic cyst diagnosed prenatally

Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations caused by abnormal lung buds.Almost all bronchogenic cysts are found in the thoracic cavity but rarely in the neck.We report a rare case of a cervical bronchogenic cyst diagnosed in the fetal stage.A male baby with a cervical cyst detected at 20 weeks of gestation was suspected of having a 4-cm cystic
