BACKGROUND: The potential of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to maintain postharvest storage of sweet potato was studied. In two separate experiments, the orange-fleshed sweet potato cv. Covington was treated with 1-MCP (1.0 ...

For about three decades, DNA-based nanotechnology has been undergoing development as an assembly method for nanostructured materials. The DNA origami method pioneered by Rothemund paved the way for the formation of 3D ...

Aim: An RNA-seq analysis recently identified a 236-nucleotide transcript upstream from malS in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. Here, we investigated its molecular characteristics and function. Materials & methods: ...

ABSTRACT: Malaria pathogenesis may be influenced by IgE responses and cytokine cross-regulation. Several mutations in the IL-4/STAT6 signaling pathway can alter cytokine cross-regulation and IgE responses during a Plasmodium ...

α-Synuclein is a protein implicated in the etiopathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). AAV1/2-driven overexpression of human mutated A53T-α-synuclein in rat and monkey substantia nigra (SN) induces degeneration of ...

Although combined Anti-Retroviral Therapy (cART) has improved the quality of life and survival in people living with HIV-AIDS (PLWHA), there have been reports of increased non-AIDS related co-morbidities such as coagulopathies. ...

Background: Several studies have suggested that abnormal glucose metabolism, caused by the easy availability of calories and an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, is a cause of infertility. Indeed, specific foods have ...

We studied theoretically the absorption of acoustic phonons in the hypersound regime in Fluorine modified Carbon Nanotube (F-CNT) ΓF –CNT and compared it to that of undoped Single Walled Nanotube (SWNT) ΓSW NT .Per the ...

The study sought to evaluate academic advising in the College of Education Studies in the University of Cape Coast. The descriptive research design was adopted for the study. Using the census sampling, multi-stage sampling, ...
