SIMULTANEOUS ANALYSES OF CLUTCH COUPLING AND ACTIN POLYMERIZATION IN DENDRITIC SPINES OF RODENT HIPPOCAMPAL NEURONS DURING CHEMICAL LTP

Simultaneous analyses of clutch coupling and actin polymerization in dendritic spines of rodent hippocampal neurons during chemical LTP

Summary: Dendritic spine enlargement by synaptic activation is thought to increase synaptic efficacy underlying learning and memory.This process requires forces generated by actin polymerization and actin-adhesion coupling (clutch coupling).Here, we describe a protocol to monitor hydrangea red sensation actin filament retrograde flow and actin poly

Iris Recognition: The Consequences of Image Compression

Iris recognition for human identification is one of the most accurate biometrics, and its employment is expanding globally.The use of portable iris systems, particularly in law enforcement applications, is growing.In many of these applications, the portable device may be required to transmit an iris image or template over a narrow-bandwidth communi

Effect of acute exercise on RBC deformability and RBC nitric oxide synthase signalling pathway in young sickle cell anaemia patients

Abstract Sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is characterized by reduced red blood cell (RBC) deformability and nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability.The aim of the study was to investigate whether exercise might affect these parameters in SCA.SCA patients and healthy controls (AA) performed an acute submaximal exercise test until read more subjects reached the
