The neuroimaging magnitude of pediatric brain atrophy in northern Tanzania
(The Pan African Medical Journal, 2020-05-21)
Introduction: the loss of parenchymal brain volume per normative age comparison is a distinctive feature of brain atrophy. While the condition is the most prevalent to elderly, it has also been observed in pediatric ages. ...
Germination of Invasive Plant Seeds after Digestion by Horses in California
(Natural Areas Journal, 2008-10)
Using a unique sterile design intended to eliminate outside seed contamination of horse
feces, we investigated whether weed seeds germinate after digestion by horses. Feces were collected
from selected National Parks and ...
Exercise-dependent regulation of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) expression in skeletal muscle and its importance for the neuromuscular system
(Higher Education Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2012)
The focus of this review is to highlight the importance of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)
for the motor nervous system. GDNF is the most potent survival factor for motor neurons, where it enhances
maintenance ...
Cholinergic neurons regulate secretion of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor by skeletal muscle cells in culture.
(Elsevier, 2011-05-16)
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been identified as a potent survival factor for both central and peripheral neurons. GDNF has been shown to be a potent survival factor for motor neurons during ...
In vivo evaluation of Spirulina platensis for nutrient bioavailability in mice
(Indian Journal, 2021)
Spirulina, a photosynthetic blue-green alga (cyanobacterium), has drawn attention as a viable food supplement due to its suitable nutrient content. Despite its suitable nutrient composition, the bioavailability of nutrients ...
Luteolin: a blocker of SARS-CoV-2 cell entry based on relaxed complex scheme, molecular dynamics simulation, and metadynamics
(Springer Nature, 2021-07-08)
Natural products have served human life as medications for centuries. During the outbreak of COVID-19, a number of
naturally derived compounds and extracts have been tested or used as potential remedies against COVID-19. ...
The extended scope of neuroimaging and prospects in brain atrophy mitigation: a systematic review
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-08-15)
Brain atrophy is a condition associated with a reduction of brain volume. It is a common manifestation of aging even though it occurs in some childhood conditions and carried forward to pre-senile middle age.
There are ...

Background: Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a zoonotic arbovirus of public health impact infecting livestock, wildlife, and humans mainly in Africa and other parts of the world. Despite its public health importance, ...
Graphene and graphene like 2D graphitic carbon nitride: Electrochemical detection of food colorants and toxic substances in environment
(Elsevier, 2019)
Excessive consumption of substances such as food colorants, exposure to doses of metal ions, antibiotic
residues and pesticides residues above maximum tolerance limit have a detrimental effect on human
health. Hence in ...
