Cortical derived neural stem cells are more likely to obtain cells with good proliferation ability than other brain regions. Meningeal tissue can induce adhesion and differentiation of neural stem cells, so meningeal tissue must be cleared during tissue treatment. ...
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis. Collectively, these infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in older adults and young children. ...
Abera’s vaccine delivery platform works as a plug-and-play system where known or novel antigens can be engineered onto our delivery platform to create effective, multivalent vaccines that are cost-effective and fast to produce. We actively work together with academia and industry to enable the use of our vaccine delivery platform in design and development of new vaccines. Many of these ...
The first vaccine, created by Edward Jenner, was used to fight against cowpox in 1796 in England. Though rarely seen today, cowpox, a viral infection, was contracted often by milkmaids before the late 1700s. When someone touched the udder of a cow that was infected, they could contract cowpox. The cowpox virus is like smallpox; however, it is not as deadly as smallpox. Smallpox is a virus that ...

This new tool is useful to observe directly under a microscope the late stages of inflammation in the microvasculature such as immune cells transmigration, or the infection of a micro–vessel by pathogenic bacteria.Keywords: microfluidics, lung microvasculature, cell mechanics, cell adhesion, cell migration, cell transmigration, acute respiratory distress syndrome, ARDS, ...
Infection with C. gattii may produce sharp chest pain, prolonged cough, shortness of breath, fever, headache, and weight loss. Patients may seem to have meningitis or pneumonia, both of which have similar symptoms. According to EMLAB P&K, one of the foremost mold testing labs in the U.S., C. gattii can be cultured and identified by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test. ...
Cases were defined as recent onset of acute diarrhoea with dehydration in a patient hospitalised at the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Kano City. Meningitis patients admitted concurrently at the same hospital were recruited as unmatched controls. ...
