causes the loss ofLmx1a and Ngn2 expression in the midbrain floorplate resulting in the loss of mDA progenitor specification and neurogenesis in this region. Only a few ectopic LMX1A+, NURR1 + and TH+ cells were transiently found in the basal plate...

dependent manner. M2 macrophages were the primary source of CCL18. Serum- and adipose secreted levels of CCL18 correlated with metabolic risk factors in women. We could not demonstrate effects of CCL18 on adipocyte expression of inflammatory or extracellular...

The dissemination and persistence of antibiotic resistance, is not only
depending on the volume of drugs used but also on the resistance
mechanisms effect of bacterial fitness (reproductive ability). Fitness is
a multifactorial ...
