The M gene segment of influenza A virus has been shown to be a contributing factor to the high growth phenotype.However, it remains largely unknown why matrix protein 1 (M1), the major structural protein encoded by M gene, exhibits pH-dependent conformational changes during virus replication.Understanding the mechanisms underlying efficient virus r
The anionic surfactant sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) is the main component of most commercial foaming Coconut Oil agents (FAs) used in the excavation of highway and railway tunnels with Earth pressure balance-tunnel boring machines (EPB-TBMs).Several hundreds of millions of tons of spoil material, consisting of soil mixed with FAs, are produce
Specific ecological interactions between insects and microbes have potential in the development of targeted pest monitoring or control techniques for the spotted wing drosophilid, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), an exotic invasive pest of soft fruit.To evaluate D.suzukii attraction to yeast species from preferred types of fruit, three yeasts were i
Nothofagus antarctica (NA) is a native tree of Patagonia.Since ancient times, NA leaves were used in infusions for medical and food purposes, but there are no deep insights on its toxicity.The aim of this work was to assess the safety and antioxidant activity of NA leaves infusion.Mice were used to determine acute and subacute oral toxicity.Total p
Drosophila represents a model organism to analyze neuronal mechanisms underlying learning and memory.Kenyon cells of the Drosophila mushroom body are required for associative odor learning and memory retrieval.But is the mushroom body sufficient to Screen Hardware acquire and retrieve an associative memory? To answer this question we have conceived
