Recent years provided intense progression in the implementation of molecular techniques in a wide variety of research fields in ecology.Biomonitoring and bioassessment can greatly benefit from DNA metabarcoding and High-Throughput Sequencing (HTS) methods that potentially provide reliable, high quantity and quality standardized data in a cost- and
Z-DNA binding protein 1 mediates necroptotic and apoptotic cell death pathways in murine astrocytes following herpes simplex virus-1 infection
Abstract Background The mechanisms by which glia respond to viral central nervous system (CNS) pathogens are now becoming apparent with the demonstration that microglia and astrocytes express an array of pattern recognition receptors that include intracellular RNA and DNA sensors.We have previously demonstrated that glia express Z-DNA binding prote
The artistic time of the Moscow text by Yuri Polyakov

A novel approach for calculating the item discrimination for Likert type of scales
Item analysis is performed by developers as an integral part of the scale development process.Thus, items are excluded from the scale depending on the item analysis prior to the factor analysis.Existing item discrimination indices are calculated based on correlation, 8RP yet items with different response patterns are likely to have a similar item d
Pesticide butachlor exposure perturbs gut microbial homeostasis
Agricultural production relies heavily on the use of pesticides, which may accumulate in soil and water, posing a significant threat to the global ecological environment and biological health.Butachlor is a commonly used herbicide and environmental pollutant, which has been linked to liver and kidney damage, as well as neurological abnormalities.Ho
