SINGLE-CELL AND BULK RNA-SEQUENCING REVEAL DIFFERENCES IN MONOCYTE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INFLUENZA A VIRUS INFECTION BETWEEN AFRICANS AND EUROPEANS

Single-Cell and Bulk RNA-Sequencing Reveal Differences in Monocyte Susceptibility to Influenza A Virus Infection Between Africans and Europeans

There is considerable inter-individual and inter-population variability in response to viruses.The potential of monocytes to elicit type-I interferon responses has attracted attention to their role in viral infections.Here, we use single-cell RNA-sequencing to characterize the role of cellular heterogeneity in human variation of monocyte responses

THE MORPHOMETRY AND THE OCCURRENCE OF CERVUS ELAPHUS (MAMMALIA, CERVIDAE) FROM THE LATE PLEISTOCENE OF THE ITALIAN PENINSULA

The evolutionary trends and adaptations of the red deer from the Middle Pleistocene to the present day are well documented in Eurasia.These are generally explained Modules by the high capability of this deer to adapt to different enviromental and climatic conditions.The large number of subspecies attributed to Cervus elaphus , often limited to spec

Egg cooling rates affected by containers

Rapid cooling is one of the most important factors in maintaining initial COLON CARE egg quality.Tests conducted on a poultry ranch in southern California show that the time required for cooling eggs is greatly affected by the container in which they are packed.Best cooling conditions are obtained when the egg has the least packaging or a container

Functional performance of a bi-layered chitosan-nano-hydroxyapatite osteochondral scaffold: a pre-clinical in vitro tribological study

Osteochondral grafts are used for repair of focal osteochondral lesions.Autologous grafts are the gold standard treatment; however, limited graft availability and donor site morbidity restrict use.Therefore, there is a clinical need for different graft sources/materials which replicate natural cartilage function.Chitosan has been proposed for this
