Salt marshes are highly dynamic and biologically diverse ecosystems that serve as natural habitats for numerous salt-tolerant plants (halophytes).We investigated the bacterial communities associated with the roots and leaves of plants growing in the coastal salt marshes of the Bayfront Beach, located in Mobile, Alabama, United States.We compared ex

Solutions of atactic poly(methacrylic acid), PMAA, with molecular weights in the range of (1.6 to 3.4) x 10(5) g mol-1, and labeled with the fluorescent dyes 9-aminoacridine or Nile blue were studied by photophysical measurements as a function of solvent viscosity and polarity.The conformational behavior of the Cupcake and Cake Stands PMAA chain se

Maturation of follicles is the primary condition for the initiation of puberty, and excessive apoptosis of granulosa cells (GCs) will hinder the normal development of follicles in pigs.Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 4 (STAT4) plays an important role in cell proliferation and apoptosis.However, the mechanism of DNA methylation regu

Neurocysticercosis is an infection of the nervous system caused by Taenia solium.It is the most important human parasitic neurological disease and a common cause of epilepsy in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, representing enormous costs for anticonvulsants, medical resources and lost production.Neurocysticercosis is a human-to-human infection, acq
