Background While folic acid (FA) reduces plasma homocysteine (Hcy), whether the
simultaneous improvement in endothelial function is dependent on Hcy lowering per se is …

Pathological alterations in the balance of bone metabolism are central to the progression of
inflammatory bone diseases such as periodontal disease. We have developed and …

Folic acid enhances endothelial function and improves outcome in primary prevention of
cardiovascular disease. The exact intracellular signalling mechanisms involved remain …

The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence and significance of urinary
incontinence (UI) symptoms in gynecological oncology (GO) patients and to test the …

Pickering emulsions stabilized by TEMPO-oxidized chitin nanocrystals (T-ChNCs) were
developed for quercetin delivery. T-ChNCs were synthesized by TEMPO oxidation chitin and …

The Ustilago maydis PYR3 gene encoding dihydroorotase activity was cloned by direct
complementation of Escherichia coli pyrC mutations. PYR3 transformants of E. coli pyrC …

Mutations defining three new loci, sapA, sapB and phoS, were detected by their ability to
overcome the phosphatase-negative phenotype of early-blocked asporogenous mutants in …

JIT manufacturing has far-reaching effects on all areas of the production chain (eg,
accounting, purchasing, distribution) and, consequently, on goods transportation. The literal …

Wild-type cells of Ustilago maydis which have been briefly heated at 42° C subsequently
acquire resistance to the lethal effects of a higher temperature (48° C). This induced …

There are now numerous models that seek to explain urban freight patterns. Many of these
models are for short-term policy but others are used for long-term planning. This paper looks …
