Several evidences suggest that NK cells can patrol the body and eliminate tumors in their initial phases but may hardly control established solid tumors.Multiple factors, including the transition of tumor cells towards a proinvasive/prometastatic phenotype, the immunosuppressive effect of the tumor microenvironment, and the tumor structure complexi
Are in vitro and in silico approaches used appropriately for animal-based major depressive disorder research?
The current paradigm for biomedical research and drug testing postulates that in vitro and in silico data inform animal studies that will subsequently inform human studies.Recent evidence points out that animal studies have made a poor contribution to current knowledge of Major Depressive Fan Drive Products Disorder, whereas the contribution of in
Role of non-nitric oxide non-prostaglandin endothelium-derived relaxing factor(s) in bradykinin vasodilation
The most conspicuous effect of bradykinin following its administration into the systemic circulation is a transient hypotension due to vasodilation.In the present study most of the available evidence regarding the mechanisms involved in bradykinin-induced arterial vasodilation is reviewed.It has become firmly established that in most species vasodi
A Stochastic Packet Forwarding Algorithm in Flying Ad Hoc Networks: Design, Analysis, and Evaluation
Over the past decade, unmanned airborne vehicles (UAVs; widely known as drones) are quickly being Lockers deployed in various civilian as well as military applications.Drones can self-organize into a connected swarm (Flying Ad Hoc Networks– FANETs) to complete various challenging missions.As the primary building block of Internet-of-Drones (
Giant inframuscular lipoma disclosed 14 years after a blunt trauma: A case report
Abstract Introduction Lipoma is the most frequent benign tumor of the soft tissue.This lesion is often asymptomatic except in cases BB cream of enormous masses compressing nervous-vascular structures.Although the diagnosis is mostly clinical, imaging tools are useful to confirm the adipose nature of the lesion and to define its anatomic border.Some
