Alterations to the mucosal environment of the female genital tract, such as genital inflammation, have been associated with increased HIV acquisition in women.As the microbiome and hormonal contraceptives can affect vaginal mucosal immunity, we hypothesized these components may interact in the context of HIV susceptibility.Using previously publishe
Behavior, morphology, allozyme studies and DNA hybridization and sequencing data all suggest the independent evolution of the Old and New World parrots and support tribe status for the American species, although the phylogenetic relationships within this tribe are still poorly understood.A previous study has shown that the Yellow-faced parrot (Amaz
We investigate whether tax avoidance substitutes for external financing.We exploit interstate banking deregulation as a quasi-external shock to examine whether firms engage in Mini Bowl less tax avoidance after banking deregulation, because of cheaper and easier access to credit from banks.We find no empirical evidence to support this substitutive
Advances in gene therapy research have resulted in the successful development of new therapies for clinical use.Here, we explored a gene targeting approach to deplete ephrinB2 from colorectal cancer cells using an inducible lentiviral vector.EphrinB2, a transmembrane ephrin ligand, promotes colorectal Homeware cancer cell growth and viability and p
Establishing an appropriate poise between forage production and consumption is crucial for sustainable range use.The aim of this study is to determine some plant aspects and canopy structure to generate an apposite management plan.Therefore, two rangelands, continuously grazed that traditional herder grazing system has been applied for centuries an
