Leaves have evolved to effectively harvest light, and, in parallel, to balance photosynthetic CO2 assimilation with water losses.At times, leaves must operate under light limiting conditions while at other instances (temporally distant or even within seconds), the same leaves must modulate light capture to avoid photoinhibition and achieve a unifor

ABSTRACT Chemists have studied marine animals for the better part of a century because they contain a diverse array of bioactive compounds.Tens of thousands of compounds have been reported, many with elaborate structural motifs and biological mechanisms of action found nowhere else.The challenge holding back the field has long been that home of sup

Objective(s): The alteration of glucose transporters is closely related with the pathogenesis of brain edema.We compared neuronal damage/death in the hippocampus between adult and young gerbils following transient cerebral ischemia/reperfusion and changes of glucose transporter-1(GLUT-1)-immunoreactive microvessels in their ischemic hippocampal CA1

Stress-induced self-separation is one of the most efficient process for preparing native GaN substrate.The control of GaN film thickness is the key point for GaN film separating from substrate completely.Considering the bowing of bilayer, we studied the radial stress in GaN film before separation.A shrunken circular delamination front model was pro

For years, there have been many discussions about the optimal/beneficial threshold for transfusion of blood products in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and it remains to be established.Over the period spent by patients who are recuperating from such acute intracranial bleeding, they often become anemic.This is a rationale why these patients are cons
