Although spiders constitute a highly diversified group of animals, the knowledge regarding their geographic distribution (i.e., the so-called Wallacean shortfall) and diversity patterns is incipient on a global scale; while attempts to explore such patterns have been made for the highly diversified Neotropical fauna, several Old World regions are h
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible visual loss in the developed countries and is caused by both environmental Safety Trainers and genetic factors.A recent study (Tuo et al., PNAS) reported an association between AMD and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs3793784) in the ERCC6 (NM_000124) gene.The risk
Abstract Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of worldwide irreversible blindness.Lowering elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is currently the only effective approach for controlling the progress of glaucoma.Angiopoietin-like 7 (ANGPTL7) takes a key part in elevated outflow resistance of aqueous humor in dysfunctional trabecular meshwork (TM), al
We explored the collateral harm in Dutch children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic from experience of paediatricians via an open question Bumper Grille Guard distributed via the website of the Dutch Paediatric Society.From the end of March till the first week of July, we received 51 reports of collateral harm involving mostly very young
Summary: NMDA receptor (NMDAR) subunit composition plays a pivotal role in synaptic plasticity at excitatory synapses.Still, the mechanisms responsible for the synaptic retention of NMDARs following induction of plasticity need to be fully elucidated.Rabphilin3A (Rph3A) is involved in the stabilization of NMDARs at synapses Moisturizers through the
