Pollen, the male gametophyte of seed plants, is extremely sensitive to UV light, which may prevent fertilization. As a result, strategies improve plant resistance solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation are required. The tardigrade damage suppressor protein (Dsup) putative DNA-binding that enables tardigrades tolerate harsh environmental conditions, including radiation, and was therefore considered as candidate for reducing effects exposure on pollen. Tobacco pollen genetically engineered express...
Background Recent data suggest that systemic inflammation can negatively affect atrioventricular conduction, regardless of acute cardiac injury. Indeed, gap‐junctions containing connexin43 coupling cardiomyocytes and inflammation‐related cells (macrophages) are increasingly recognized as important factors regulating the conduction in node. The aim this study was to evaluate impact inflammatory activation on elucidate underlying mechanisms. Methods Results We analyzed: (1) PR‐interval...
Advanced atrioventricular block (AVB), that is, higher than second-degree Mobitz-1, is an abnormal finding in athletes. Despite intensive investigation, several cases the pathogenesis remains unknown, but frequently pacemaker implantation still indicated. Increasing evidence points to circulating anti-Ro/Sjögren syndrome-related antigen A (SSA) antibodies cross-reacting with L-type calcium channel and inhibiting related current as epidemiologically relevant potentially reversible cause of...
Thyroid hormones are essential for regulating the metabolic rate, growth, development, and maintenance of many physiological processes in vertebrates. They synthesized by thyroid gland, which is an ancient organ that evolved early vertebrate evolution. This study aims to characterize evolutionary path polymorphic variants associated with hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis comparing DNA (aDNA) sequences Late Pleistocene-Holocene hominin populations those modern humans. We evaluated...
