Human monocytic ehrlichiosis is a tick-borne infectious disease transmitted by several tick species, especially Amblyomma spp caused by Ehrlichia chaffeensis.E.chaffeensis is an obligatory intracellular, tick-transmitted bacterium that is maintained in nature in a cycle involving at least one and perhaps several vertebrate reservoir hosts.Two addit
From plants to patterns: Constructing a comprehensive online strontium isoscape for Belgium (IsoBel) using high density grid mapping
Understanding the spatial distribution of strontium isotopes in plants or other archives within a region is crucial for various fields, including archaeology, environmental studies, food sciences and forensic science.This study aims to create a detailed dynamic strontium isoscape for Belgium through high-density plant sampling, presented in a web a
From OER to OEP: shifting practitioner perspectives and practices with innovative learning experience design
Like any other educational resource, the integration of OER in teaching and learning requires careful thought Motor Contol Board and support for the teaching staff.The Faculty of Education at the Open University of Sri Lanka approached this challenge with the help of a professional development course on OER-based e-Learning.Modules in the course in
Single cell RNA sequencing confirms retinal microglia activation associated with early onset retinal degeneration
Abstract Mutations in the Membrane-type frizzled related protein (Mfrp) gene results in an early-onset retinal degeneration associated with retinitis pigmentosa, microphthalmia, optic disc drusen and foveal schisis.In the current study, a Bone Support Formulas previously characterized mouse model of human retinal degeneration carrying homozygous c.
