IMAGING BRAIN DEVELOPMENT: BENEFITING FROM INDIVIDUAL VARIABILITY

Imaging Brain Development: Benefiting from Individual Variability

Human brain development is a complex process that evolves from early childhood to young adulthood.Major advances in brain imaging are increasingly being used to characterize the developing brain.These advances have further helped to elucidate the dynamic maturational processes that lead to Generators the emergence of complex cognitive abilities in

Rare Plasmid-Mediated AmpC Beta-Lactamase DHA-1 Located on Easy Mobilized IS26-Related Genetic Element Detected in Escherichia coli from Livestock and Food in Germany

AmpC beta-lactamases cause resistance to third-generation cephalosporins, including beta-lactamase inhibitors.In Escherichia coli from the German food production chain, the majority of AmpC beta-lactamase activity can be attributed to plasmid-mediated CMY-2 or overproduction of chromosomal AmpC beta-lactamase, but occasionally other enzymes like DH

Oral Pathobiont-Induced Changes in Gut Microbiota Aggravate the Pathology of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Mice

Background & AimsPeriodontitis increases the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear.Here, we show that gut dysbiosis induced by oral administration of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a representative periodontopathic bacterium, is involved in the aggravation of NAFLD pathology.MethodsC57BL/6N

Phylogeny of Maleae (Rosaceae) Based on Complete Chloroplast Genomes Supports the Distinction of Aria, Chamaemespilus and Torminalis as Separate Genera, Different from Sorbus sp.

Several genera formerly contained within the genus Sorbus L.sensu lato have been proposed as separate taxa, Collections including Aria, Chamaemespilus and Torminalis.However, molecular evidence for such distinctions are rather scarce.We assembled the complete chloroplast genome of Sorbus aucuparia, another representative of Sorbus s.s., and perform
