An alternating copolymer of deoxy 2,6 diamino purine and thymine (dDAP-T) has been synthesized by substituting 2,6 diamino purine deoxyriboside triphosphate for dATP in a dAT primed synthesis with DNA polymerase. This polymer...
Inflation and sustainable development are two important factors in the economic development of most countries. This study will use empirical analysis to examine how macroeconomic variables, including the money supply (M2)...
BACKGROUND: Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is the most severe form of leishmaniasis in Iran with high mortality rates in the case of inaccurate diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to prepare and evaluate a new rk39...
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a common neurodegenerative dementia in older people; however, the clinical features, particularly cognitive fluctuations and rapid eye movement sleep disorder, are often hard to elicit, leading...
Oxidative stress in cells is caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) if there is a deficiency of necessary antioxidants to neutralize them. ROS, that work through free radicals, oxidize sites on endogenous neurotransmitters and...

Mediterranean type of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonotic parasitic infection. Some provinces of Iran are endemic for VL while other parts are considered as sporadic areas. This study aimed to assess a combination of...

We introduce the concept of Doppler-assisted tomography (DAT) and show that it can be applied successfully to non-invasive imaging of the internal microstructure of a photonic crystal fiber. The fiber is spun at ~10 Hz around...
The goal of this study is to illustrate the affordances mediated by digital socio-literacy practices of university-level EFL learners engaging in collaborative reading of texts from an ecological perspective. For this purpose, a...
WeCAN Kicks Off the School Year with a Protest for Workers' Rights "Crocodile Hunter" Killed by a Stingray Freshmen Attend First Common Hour Construction on Campus Dell Announces Recall Alternate Energy Sources Needed to...
I am delighted to be writing this editorial at such an exciting time in the history of this journal. This tenth volume sees a re-launch under a new title, which reflects our new aims and scope. The Journal brings together...
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) may cause oxidative stress in cells if insufficient antioxidants are present to neutralize them. When this occurs in neurons it may result in neurodegeneration due to apoptosis or necrosis, which...
Abstract: Activated, procoagulant platelets shed phosphatidylserine (PS)-exposing extracellular vesicles (EVs) from their surface in a Ca2+- and calpain-dependent manner. These PS-exposing EVs are prothrombotic and...
Abstract: Background: Platelet activation and arterial thrombosis on a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque is a major cause of myocardial infarction. Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), the combination of platelet aggregation...
Platelet-derived extracellular polyphosphate (PolyP) is a major mediator of thrombosis. PolyP is a linear chain of inorganic phosphate (Pi) and is stored in platelet dense granules. Pi enters cells from the extracellular fluid...
Platelets enhance thrombin generation at sites of vascular injury by exposing phosphatidylserine during necrosis-like cell death. Anoctamin 6 (Ano6) is required for Ca(2+)-dependent phosphatidylserine exposure and is defective...
Abstract: An organic-rich columnar prismatic outer shell layer, which extends far beyond the underlying nacre, has allowed pterioid bivalves (the pearl oysters and their allies) to develop flexible valve margins, allowing a...
