Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is defined by the abundance of lipid droplets (LDs) in hepatocytes.While historically considered simply depots for energy storage, LDs are increasingly recognized to impact a wide range of biological processes that influence cellular metabolism, signaling, and function.While progress has been ma
Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) is a neurotropic herpesvirus that causes infectious rhinotracheitis and vulvovaginitis in cattle.The virion host shutoff protein encoded by the BHV-1 UL41 gene is highly conserved in the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily.This protein can degrade viral and host messenger RNA (mRNA) to interrupt host defense and facilitat
Delivery drones have been attracting attention as one of the promising technologies to deliver packages.Several research studies on routing problems specifically for drone delivery scenarios have extended Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs).Most existing VRPs are based on Traveling Salesman Problems (TSPs) for minimizing the overall distance.On the oth
The polymyxin antibiotic colistin shows in vitro activity against Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.However, an increased incidence of colistin-resistant isolates has been recently observed.In addition, in vitro evaluation of colistin susceptibility for this organism has been problematic.The aims of this study were to investigate the colistin-resistance
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) is a rare type of soft tissue tumors and there have been only a few reported cases of SFTs at the perineum Mounts region.We report a SFT below the pubic bone in a 35-year-old male causing compression on his corpus spongiosum.The patient underwent en bloc tumor resection with preservation of spermatic vessels and the bl
