Alzheimers Disease Enzyme may Interfere With Brain Function

...ium channels, structures on the cell membrane that transmit electrochemical signal by admitting charged sodium particles into the cells interior. Sodium channels consist of an alpha subunit, which makes up the body of the channel, and one or two beta subunits that help to regulate the channels activity. Pre...

These men then act as a conduit to bring the virus home to their villages, their other casual sex partners and to their wives. The study has important policy implicati...

Aedes Agypti Mosquitos Immune System Revealed

...and why, for example, some types of mosquitoes can transmit a particular human pathogen while others cannot. If those that cannot have evolved an effective immune system that fights off the pathogen, we may be able to use this knowledge to enhance specific reactions of the immune systems in other mosquitoes...
