POLAR LIPIDS OF MARINE MICROALGAE NANNOCHLOROPSIS OCEANICA AND CHLOROCOCCUM AMBLYSTOMATIS MITIGATE THE LPS-INDUCED PRO-INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN MACROPHAGES

Microalgae are recognized as a relevant source of bioactive compounds.Among these bioactive products, lipids, mainly glycolipids, have been shown to present immunomodulatory properties with the potential to mitigate chronic inflammation.This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of polar lipids isolated from Nannochloropsis oceanica

Scrub typhus is an infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi , a bacterium within the family Rickettsiaceae.The clinical symptoms are usually acute and are characterized by fever, eschar formation or ulceration, local or generalized lymphadenopathy, and rash.Because of the extensive damage to small blood vessels throughout the body, scrub

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains the most common cause of lower respiratory tract infections in children worldwide.Development of a vaccine has been hindered due the risk of enhanced respiratory disease (ERD) following natural RSV exposure and the young age (<6 months) at which children would require protection.Risk factors linked to th

Breach of contract, by way of non-performance, delay in performance, delivery of defective goods and so on, is a common phenomenon and various legal systems have developed several remedies to deal with it.In common law systems, the first and foremost remedy is damages or money awards and, order for specific performance of contract is an ancillary a

Gas detection can become a critical task in dangerous environments that involve hazardous or contaminant gases, and the use of imaging sensors provides an important tool for leakage location.This paper presents a new design for remote sensing of gas leaks based on infrared (IR) imaging techniques.The inspection system uses an uncooled microbolomete
