Comparative study on anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Caesalpinia crista and Centella asiatica leaf extracts
(2014-04-01)
Background:
Amyloidosis, oxidative stress and inflammation have been strongly implicated in neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Traditionally, Caesalpinia crista and Centella asiatica leaf extracts are ...
In vitro evidence that an aqueous extract of Centella asiatica modulates α-synuclein aggregation dynamics.
(2014-01-01)
α-Synuclein aggregation is one of the major etiological factors implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD). The prevention of ggregation of α-synuclein is a potential therapeutic intervention for preventing PD. The discovery ...
The effects of impaired cerebral circulation on Alzheimer's disease pathology: evidence from animal studies.
(2014-01-01)
Persistent systemic hypoxia, a direct consequence of alterations in vascular function, can compromise the brain by
increasing the risk of developing dementias such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Vascular contributions to ...
Mitogenomics of Central American weakly-electric fishes
(2019-02-20)
Electric fishes are a diverse group of freshwater organisms with the ability to generate electric organ discharges (EODs) that are used for communication and electrolocation. This group (ca. 200 species) has originated in ...

(2014-05-20)
A new lineage is discovered within the Botryosphaeriaceae (Ascomycetes, Dothideomycetes, incertae sedis). Consistent with current practice of providing generic names for independent lineages, this lineage is described as ...
New species, phylogeny, host-associations and geographic distribution of genus Cryptosporella (Gnomoniaceae, Diaporthales)
(2011-03-01)
The phylogeny of Cryptosporella is revised to include recently discovered species. Eight species new to science are described and two new combinations are proposed, raising the total number of species accepted in Cryptosporella ...
Serum samples can be substituted by plasma samples for the diagnosis of paratuberculosis
(2013-01-01)
Employing plasma samples rather than serum samples for serological paratuberculosis diagnosis is practical, especially when bovine TB is assessed in the same cattle herd with the gamma interferon bovine avian (IFN- BA) ...
