MIR-143 AND MIR-145 DISRUPT THE CERVICAL EPITHELIAL BARRIER THROUGH DYSREGULATION OF CELL ADHESION, APOPTOSIS AND PROLIFERATION

miR-143 and miR-145 disrupt the cervical epithelial barrier through dysregulation of cell adhesion, apoptosis and proliferation

Abstract Molecular mechanisms regulating preterm birth (PTB)-associated cervical remodeling remain unclear.Prior work demonstrated an altered miRNA profile, with significant increases in miR-143 and miR-145, in cervical cells of women destined to have a PTB.The study objective was to determine the effect of miR-143 and miR-145 read more on the cerv

Acoustic Source Localization and Beamforming: Theory and Practice

We consider the theoretical and practical aspects of locating acoustic sources using an array of microphones.A maximum-likelihood (ML) direct localization is obtained when the sound source is near the array, while in the far-field case, we demonstrate the localization via the cross bearing from several widely separated arrays.In the case of multipl

Influence of Thiazolidine-2,4-Dione Derivatives with Azolidine or Thiosemicarbazone Moieties on Haemophilus spp. Planktonic or Biofilm-Forming Cells

Biofilm, naturally formed by microorganisms as integrated surface-bound communities, is one of the here reasons for the development of antimicrobial resistance.Haemophilus spp.are common and representative opportunistic Gram-negative rods forming from the upper respiratory tract microbiota.The aim of this paper was to evaluate the influence of thia
