PORE-SCALE MONITORING OF THE EFFECT OF MICROARCHITECTURE ON FUNGAL GROWTH IN A TWO-DIMENSIONAL SOIL-LIKE MICROMODEL

Pore-Scale Monitoring of the Effect of Microarchitecture on Fungal Growth in a Two-Dimensional Soil-Like Micromodel

In spite of the very significant role that fungi are called to play in agricultural production and climate change over the next two decades, very little is known at this point about the parameters that control the spread of fungal hyphae in the pore space of soils.Monitoring of this process in 3 dimensions is not technically feasible at the moment.

Repeated Blockade of NMDA Receptors during Adolescence Impairs Reversal Learning and Disrupts GABAergic Interneurons in Rat Medial Prefrontal Cortex

Adolescence is of particular significance to schizophrenia, since psychosis onset typically occurs in this critical period.Based on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor hypofunction hypothesis of schizophrenia, in this study, we investigated whether and how repeated NMDA receptor blockade during adolescence would affect GABAergic interneurons i

Inflammation and Oxidative Stress as Common Mechanisms of Pulmonary, Autonomic and Musculoskeletal Dysfunction after Spinal Cord Injury

One of the etiopathogenic factors frequently associated with generalized organ damage after spinal cord injury corresponds to the imbalance of the redox state and inflammation, particularly of Puzzle the respiratory, autonomic and musculoskeletal systems.Our goal in this review was to gain a better understanding of this phenomenon by reviewing both
