BEYOND DEFENSE: REGULATION OF NEURONAL MORPHOGENESIS AND BRAIN FUNCTIONS VIA TOLL-LIKE RECEPTORS




Host-trailing satellite flight behaviour is associated with greater investment in peripheral visual sensory system in miltogrammine flies

Abstract Insect sensory systems are the subjects of different selective pressures that shape their morphology.In many species of the flesh fly subfamily Miltogramminae (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) that are kleptoparasitic on bees and wasps, females perch on objects close to the host nests and, once a returning host is detected, they follow it in flight

An investigation of the effects of Cinnamomum cassia bark extracts on oxidative DNA damage and possible cytotoxic and apoptotic activities in transformed/untransformed cell lines from Type 1 diabetic patients, in vitro.

It was shown that patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) had increased level of oxidative DNA damage and decreased efficacy of DNA repair.These changes were implicated in the increased cancer risk in patients with diabetes mellitus.Cinnamon bark extracts have diverse biological activities including antidiabetic and anti-tumor properties.Cinn
