COPHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS SUGGESTS COSPECIATION BETWEEN THE SCORPION MYCOPLASMA CLADE SYMBIONTS AND THEIR HOSTS.

Cophylogenetic analysis suggests cospeciation between the Scorpion Mycoplasma Clade symbionts and their hosts.

Scorpions are predator arachnids of ancient origin and worldwide distribution.Two scorpion species, Vaejovis smithi and Centruroides limpidus, were found to harbor two different Mollicutes phylotypes: a Scorpion Mycoplasma Clade (SMC) and Scorpion Group 1 (SG1).Here we investigated, using a targeted gene sequencing strategy, cent dyyni whether thes

Exosomes derived from M2 macrophages prevent steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head by modulating inflammation, promoting bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption

Abstract Inflammatory reactions are involved in the development of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head(ONFH).Studies have explored the therapeutic efficacy of inhibiting inflammatory reactions in steroid-induced ONFH and revealed that inhibiting inflammation may be a new strategy for preventing the development of steroid-induced ONFH.

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging reflects activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 during focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion

Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) is a unique protein family that binds to DNA, coupled with tyrosine phosphorylation signaling pathways, acting as a transcriptional regulator to mediate a variety of biological effects.Cerebral ischemia and reperfusion can activate STATs rumchata proof signaling pathway, but no studies have co
