Summary: A resonant-scanning multiphoton optical microscope (MPM) with a millimeter-scale field-of-view (FOV) often encounters a poor Nyquist figure-of-merit (NFOM), leading to an aliasing effect owing to limited effective voxel-sampling rate.In this protocol, we provide a design guideline to enable high-NFOM MPM dale duby obsidian knives imaging w
Recurrent syncope, orthostatic hypotension and volatile hypertension: think outside the box
The baroreceptors in the neck and aortic arch are important regulators of sudden blood pressure changes.They are innervated by CN IX and X and synapse femigrow capsules in the brainstem.Baroreceptor failure is an under-recognized cause of recurrent syncope, orthostatic hypotension, and volatile hypertension, which is refractory to and may in fact w
Exploiting Thrips Aggregation Pheromones to Develop a Lure-and-Kill Strategy for the Management of the Bean Flower Thrips
The potential of semiochemicals to lure insect pests to a trap where they can be killed with biopesticides has been demonstrated as an eco-friendly pest management alternative.In this study, we tested two recently characterized male-produced aggregation pheromones of the bean flower thrips Megalurothrips sjostedti (Trybom), namely (R)-lavandulyl 3-
Tryptophan in the mouse diet is essential for embryo implantation and decidualization
IntroductionNutritional deficiency occurs frequently during pregnancy and breastfeeding.Tryptophan (Trp), an gemplers free shipping essential amino acid which is critical for protein synthesis, serves as the precursor for serotonin, melatonin, and kynurenine (Kyn).The imbalance between serotonin and kynurenine pathways in Trp metabolism is closely
