Chondroitin sulfate (CS) E Planter is the natural ligand for pleiotrophin (PTN) in the central nervous system (CNS) of the embryo.Some structures of PTN in solution have been solved, but no precise location of the binding site has been reported yet.Using 15N-labelled PTN and HSQC NMR experiments, we studied the interactions with a synthetic CS-E te

Abstract Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique that can noninvasively modulate neural states in a targeted brain region.As cerebellar activity levels are associated with upper limb motor improvement after stroke, the cerebellum is a plausible target of tDCS.However, the effect of tDCS remains unclear.Here, we desi

Subsurface migration and accumulation of oil and gas have interested researchers for a long time, but these processes may occur over very long geological periods and are difficult to observe directly, so experimental simulations are warranted.In this study, an experimental method was developed to model hydrocarbon migration in the subsurface struct

Mediterranean macroalgal assemblages in Twin XL LP Foundation areas invaded and non-invaded by Caulerpa racemosa var.cylindracea were compared and trapped sediments were characterised.Results showed that assemblages invaded by C.racemosa var.cylindracea differed greatly from non-invaded ones: encrusting and erect algae, both articulated and foliose

Acetaldehyde (ACD) is the first metabolite of ethanol.Although, the role of ACD in ethanol addiction has been controversial, there are data showing a relationship.The objective of the current 1040 study was further to test the hypothesis that ACD itself is reinforcing.For this reason, we carried out a study on operant oral ACD self-administration.W
