DIRECT ENGULFMENT OF SYNAPSES BY OVERACTIVATED MICROGLIA DUE TO CADMIUM EXPOSURE AND THE PROTECTIVE ROLE OF NRF2

Direct engulfment of synapses by overactivated microglia due to cadmium exposure and the protective role of Nrf2

Cadmium (Cd), a notorious environmental pollutant, has been linked to neurological disorders, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive.We aimed to explore the role of microglia in Cd-induced synaptic damages at environmentally relevant doses and whether microglia directly engulf synaptic structures.Nrf2 is deeply implicated in the status of mic

Gene mapping using linkage analysis

Linkage analysis is a recombinant technology used for gene mapping.If two genetic loci segregate together in a pedigree more often than by random chance, they are Stemless Wine Glasses said to be linked, that is they lie close on the same chromosome.What makes the detection of linkage between two markers on a chromosome possible, are the recombinat

Harvest times and seed germination of three safflower genotypes

ABSTRACT: The safflower (Carthamus tinctoriusL.) has an uneven flowering and fruiting, which can cause problems in seed production and harvesting in regions with hot and humid climates.However, little is known about the optimal safflower harvest time.Therefore, Allergy Relief this study evaluated the optimumtiming for seed harvest of three safflowe
