Abstract Hair follicles are essential appendages of human skin that function in protection, sensation, thermoregulation and social interactions.The multicellular components, particularly the dermal papilla, matrix leather Keychain and bulge housing stem cells, enable cyclic hair growth postnatally.However, miniaturization and loss of hair follicles
In vivo imaging of vagal-induced myenteric plexus responses in gastrointestinal tract with an optical window
Abstract The vagus nerve (VN) extensively innervates the gastric enteric nervous Rangehood Globe system (ENS), but its influence on gastric ENS functionality and motility in vivo remains unclear due to technical challenges.Here we describe a method for stable, long-term observation of gastric ENS activity and muscle dynamics at cellular resolution,
The Effect of Protein and Protein Source on Appetite in Older Adults: Preliminary Findings from the FortiPhy Study
Background and objectives: Reduced appetite is known to be an important determinant of malnutrition in older adults.To prevent malnutrition, fortification with high-energy/high-protein ingredients has been suggested to be a relevant approach.Protein is considered to be the most satiating macronutrient in the younger population, and it therefore may
Evolution of acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase in the vertebrates: an atypical butyrylcholinesterase from the Medaka Oryzias latipes.
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) are thought to be the result of a gene duplication event early in vertebrate evolution.To learn more about the evolution of these enzymes, we expressed in vitro, characterized, and modeled a recombinant cholinesterase (ChE) from a teleost, the medaka Oryzias latipes.In addition to AChE, O
The rational, loving and responsible parent. A discursive construction of the identities of the parents that decided not to vaccinate their children
My objective in this article is to identify what types of identities are constructed and claimed in the context of sociological interviews taken from parents who have decided not to vaccinate at least one of their children.Analyzing the interviews taken, I managed to Winter Sports - Soft Goods - Baselayer show that one of the most prominent identit
