Cadmium (Cd), a notorious environmental pollutant, has been linked to neurological disorders, but the underlying mechanism remains elusive.We aimed to explore the role of microglia in Cd-induced synaptic damages at environmentally relevant doses and whether microglia directly engulf synaptic structures.Nrf2 is deeply implicated in the status of mic
A Novel Relevance Feedback Approach Based on Similarity Measure Modification in an X-Ray Image Retrieval System Based on Fuzzy Representation Using Fuzzy Attributed Relational Graph
Relevance feedback approaches is used to improve the performance of content-based image retrieval systems.In this Game Bags paper, a novel relevance feedback approach based on similarity measure modification in an X-ray image retrieval system based on fuzzy representation using fuzzy attributed relational graph (FARG) is presented.In this approach,
Primed Immune Responses Triggered by Ingested Bacteria Lead to Systemic Infection Tolerance in Silkworms.
In the present study, we examined whether microorganisms collaterally ingested by insects with their food activate Brake Pulley Axle the innate immune system to confer systemic resistance against subsequent bacterial invasion.Silkworms orally administered heat-killed Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells showed resistance against intra-hemolymph infection b
Technological Ecosystems in Care and Assistance: A Systematic Literature Review
Applying the concepts of technological ecosystems to the care and assistance domain is an emerging field that has gained interest during the last years, as they allow to describe the complex relationships between actors in a technologically boosted care domain.In that context, this paper presents a systematic review and mapping of the literature to
