BACKGROUND: Recent research has aimed to characterize processes underlying general liability toward psychopathology, termed the p factor. Given previous research linking the p factor with difficulties in both executive functioning and affective regulation, the present study investigated nonaffective and positive affective inhibition in the context ...
Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health problem that requires early and effective treatments to prevent the indiscriminate use of antimicrobial drugs and the outcome of infections. Mass Spectrometry (MS), and more particularly MALDI-TOF, have been widely adopted by routine clinical microbiology laboratories to identify bacter...
Societal Impact StatementSeagrass ecosystems are of fundamental importance to our planet and wellbeing. Seagrasses are marine flowering plants, which engineer ecosystems that provide a multitude of ecosystem services, for example, blue foods and carbon sequestration. Seagrass ecosystems have largely been degraded across much of their global range. ...
Mapping-out baseline physiological muscle parameters with their metabolic blueprint across multiple archetype equine breeds, will contribute to better understanding their functionality, even across species.Aims: 1) to map out and compare the baseline fiber type composition, fiber type and mean fiber cross-sectional area (fCSA, mfCSA) and metabolic ...
Background Current treatments for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) poorly address chronic innate neuroinflammation nor do they offer effective remyelination. The vagus nerve has a strong regulatory role in inflammation and Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) has potential to affect both neuroinflammation and remyelination in MS. Objective This study investigated ...
Caspase recruitment domain-containing protein (CARD)9, CARD10, CARD11, and CARD14 all belong to the CARD-coiled coil (CC) protein family and originated from a single common ancestral protein early in vertebrate evolution. All four proteins form CARD-CC/BCL10/MALT1 (CBM) complexes leading to nuclear factor-kappa-B (NF-kappa B) activation after upstr...
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) greatly increase protein diversity and functionality. To help the plant research community interpret the ever-increasing number of reported PTMs, The Plant PTM Viewer (https://www.psb.ugent.be/PlantPTMViewer) provides an intuitive overview and tools to assess plant protein PTMs. This update includes 62 novel ...
Quorum sensing (QS) is a crucial process of intercellular communication in bacteria that synchronizes their gene expression and physiological behaviors. This ability assists bacteria in surviving under environmental stressors. One such prevalent environmental stressor is heavy metals, which can significantly impair bacterial function, with anaerobi...
Structures and components need to be constantly monitored to ensure good service life and avoid failures. Structural health monitoring is a wide-ranging concept that tries to ensure the safety of components and structures. Vibration responses of small and large structures contain information about these damages. In the present study, this informati...
