Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Short-Term Canine Full-Thickness Skin Organ Culture Method under Serum-Free ConditionsFrancesca Abramo, Andrea Pirone, Carla Lenzi et al.Full-thickness canine skin organ culture models could provide an entirely new opportunity for studying wound healing, keratinization disorders and allergic skin diseases, all of which have high prevalence and severe impact on canine quality of life. Here we present a canine organ culture method for the short-term maintenance of full-thickness, adult, canine skin in serum-free medium and investigate the possibility … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2016 · 7,380 accessesView PDF Cite

HypothesisOpen accessIn the abstractCan Anthocyanins be Part of the Metal Homeostasis Network in Plant?Marco LandiAnthocyanins are a class of flavonoids with a high level of diversification and likely the most studied pathway of secondary metabolism in Plantae. Anthocyanins have raised a growing interest due to the huge variability of their chemical structures and the more new anthocyanins are isolated from plants, the more questions on their evolutionary and ecological meaning they raise. Antioxidant, photoprotection … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 8,568 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico Sequence Analysis, Structure Prediction and Function Annotation of Melanocortin 1 Receptor Gene (MC1R) from the Guppy Poecilia reticulataAbdul Khader Sultan Mohideen, Mehboob Asrar Sheriff, Kareem AltaffThe common guppy, Poecilia reticulata is one of the most popular aquarium fish used as a model organism in toxicology, embryology and genetical studies. Vibrant colors in males are a secondary sexual character which attracts the females for mating. Pigmentation in guppy is found to be linked with melanin synthesis. Melanocortin genes are involved in the synthesis of melanin pigments. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 17 Nov 2015 · 8,614 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractA Case of Phaeohyphomycosis Caused by Exophiala oligosperma in a Renal Transplant Patient Successfully Treated with PosaconazoleAsaph C Levy, Sameer Rehman, Deanna A Sutton et al.Phaeohyphomycosis is an uncommon mycotic infection caused by dematiaceous fungi. We report a 53-year-old male who presented with phaeohyphomycosis on his upper extremities, 6 months after renal transplantation. Biopsy revealed pigmented moniliform hyphae and cultures grew Exophiala oligosperma. The lesions completely resolved after 3 months of treatment with posaconazole. …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2015 · 8,028 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA COMPARATIVE STUDY FOR RHODOPSIN PROTEIN FOLDING PROBLEMIman Ahmed Mahmoud, Amr Ahmed Badr, Mostafa Abdel AzimProteins are very important components in any living cells. A number of diseases such as Retinitis pigmentosa, Stargadt-like macular degeneration and Doyne Honeycomb Retinal Dystrophy (DHRD) diseases are shown to result from misfunctioning of proteins. Protein folding problem is a way to predict the best and optimal 3D molecular structure (tertiary structure) of a protein which is then considered to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 May 2014 · 7,071 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMAGE SEGMENTATION WITH ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK FOR NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY IN COTTON CROPMaicon A. Sartin, Alexandre C.R. Da Silva, Claudinei KappesThe leaf analysis in a crop can present the need of a nutrient determined in the plant. The macronutrients deficiency in the cotton crop can be identified by specific type of colors variation by leaves images. Early identification of macronutrients deficiency can help in the growing suitable of the crop and reduce the use of agricultural inputs. This study investigates … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 6 · 4 Feb 2014 · 6,800 accessesView PDF Cite

Abd El Baky, M. M. Hussein, Gamal S. El-BarotyWheat plants (Triticum aestivum L., cv. Giza 168) irrigated with either 10 or 20% of Seawater (SW) were treated with aqueous extracts of green microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus and blue green algae Spirulina platensis (AESO and AESP 20 g (dry weight)/L) in order to increase wheat salt tolerance. Treated plants showed higher ability to tolerate salt stress (10 or 20% SW) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 7 Jan 2014 · 7,591 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAUTOMATIC SEGMENTATION OF SKIN LESIONS USING HISTOGRAM THRESHOLDINGNidhal Khdhair El Abbadi, Abbas Hussien MiryAutomatic lesion segmentation is an important part of computer-based image analysis of pigmented skin lesions. Currently, there is a great interest in the development of Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems for dermoscopic images. The segmentation step is one of the most important ones, since its accuracy determines the eventual success or failure of a CAD system. This study introduced new method … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 19 Dec 2013 · 7,559 accessesView PDF Cite
