Toxoplasma gondii chronic infection in rodent secondary hosts has been reported to lead to a loss of innate, hard-wired fear toward cats, its primary host.However the generality of this response across T.gondii strains and the underlying mechanism for this pathogen-mediated behavioral change remain unknown.To begin exploring these questions, we eva
Abstract Background CD-1 is an outbred mouse stock that is frequently used in toxicology, pharmacology, and fundamental biomedical research.Although inbred strains are typically better suited for such studies due to minimal genetic variability, outbred stocks confer practical advantages over inbred strains, such as improved breeding performance and
Phenol and Cr(VI) are two of the most common organic and heavy metal-based pollutants found in industrial effluents.Both pollutants pose considerable health risks if left untreated.Activated carbon adsorption is generally used for the physical removal of these types of pollutants during wastewater treatment.This work investigates the use of thermal
Context: Breast cancer remains a major health burden worldwide, necessitating improved screening modalities for early detection.However, existing techniques such as mammography and MRI exhibit limitations regarding sensitivity and specificity.Microwave imaging has recently emerged as a promising technology for breast cancer diagnosis, exploiting th
