Changes in the avifauna in a high Andean cloud forest in Colombia over a 24‐year period
(2017)
The upper altitude ecosystems of the Andes are among the most threatened by climate change. Computer models suggest that a large percentage of species in these ecosystems will be at risk of extinction and that avian ...
Assessment of Pasteurella multocida a lipopolysaccharide, as an Adhesin in an in vitro model of rabbit respiratory epithelium
(2017)
The role of the P. multocida lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a putative adhesin during the early stages of infection with this bacterium in the respiratory epithelium of rabbits was investigated. By light microscopy and double ...
Increased cytotoxicity of 3,5 dihydroxy -7- methoxyflavone in MIA PaCa-2 and Panc28 pancreatic cancer cells when used in conjunction with proliferative compound 3,5 dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone both derived from Chromolaena leivensis (Hieron)
(2016)
Over 5000 flavonoids have been identified so far and many of these are known to have antineoplastic properties. The relationships between the targeting activities by these compounds on cancer cells and the specific features ...
