Reproductive immunology in viviparous mammals: evolutionary paradox of interactions among immune mechanisms and autologous or allogeneic gametes and semiallogeneic foetuses
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
Literally, reproductive immunology was born in bovine on-farm reproduction where seminal experiments intended for developing methods for embryo transfer in cattle were performed. Actually, these experiments led to two of ...
Observation and modeling of high-7Be concentration events at the surface in northern Europe associated with the instability of the Arctic polar vortex in early 2003
(Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2021)
Abstract. Events of very high concentrations of 7Be cosmogenic radionuclide have been recorded at low-elevation surface stations in the subpolar regions of Europe during the cold season. With an aim to investigate the ...
Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of carrot fruit essential oil: Chemical composition and antimicrobial activity
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2007)
Isolation of carrot fruit (Daucus carrota L., cultivar Chanteney) essential oil by supercritical carbon dioxide was investigated from the pretreatment of herbaceous matrix and extraction conditions to the chemical composition ...
Comparison of anti-Campylobacter activity of free thymol and thymol-beta-D-glucopyranoside in absence or presence of beta-glycoside-hydrolysing gut bacteria
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
Thymol is a natural product that exhibits antimicrobial activity in vitro but in vivo results indicate that absorption within the proximal alimentary tract precludes its delivery to the distal gut. Presently, the ...
Staphylococcus sciuri as a part of skin, nasal and oral flora in healthy dogs
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2001)
The coagulase -negative species Staphylococcus sciuri is widespread in nature and is associated with a variety of domestic and wild animals. However, the occurrence of S. sciuri in dogs has received little attention so ...
Reconstruction and Simulation of Stratospheric Ozone Distributions during the 2002 Austral Winter
(American Meteorological Society, 2005)
Satellite-based solar occultation measurements during the 2002 austral winter have been used to reconstruct global, three-dimensional ozone distributions. The reconstruction method uses correlations between potential ...
Are golden jackals (Canis aureus) definitive hosts for Angiostrongylus vasorum?
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2019)
Angiostrongylosis caused by Angiostrongylus vasorum is an emerging disease in Europe. Recent reports have shown that, besides the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) recognized as the main definitive host and reservoir for the parasite, ...
Dose-response modeling of reactivating potency of oximes K027 and K203 against a direct acetylcholinesterase inhibitor in rat erythrocytes
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2018)
Inhibition of acethylcholinesterase (AChE) as a key molecular event induced by organophosphate (OP) pesticides and nerve agents presents a human health concern. In efficacy testing of experimental oximes, potential antidotes ...
Assessing the role of two populations of Aedes japonicus japonicus for Zika virus transmission under a constant and a fluctuating temperature regime
(BMC, 2020)
BACKGROUND: Since the huge epidemic of Zika virus (ZIKV) in Brazil in 2015, questions were raised to understand which mosquito species could transmit the virus. Aedes aegypti has been described as the main vector. However, ...
The hCOMET project: International database comparison of results with the comet assay in human biomonitoring. Baseline frequency of DNA damage and effect of main confounders
(Elsevier, 2021)
The alkaline comet assay, or single cell gel electrophoresis, is one of the most popular methods for assessing DNA damage in human population. One of the open issues concerning this assay is the identification of those ...
