Biogeography of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) community associated with the brooding coral Favia gravida in the Atlantic Ocean.

Zooxanthellate corals live in symbiosis with phototrophic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae, enabling the host coral to dwell in shallow, nutrient-poor marine waters.The South Atlantic Ocean is characterized by low coral diversity with high levels of endemism.However, little is known about coral-dinoflagellate associations in the region

Using satellite rainfall products to assess the triggering conditions for hydro-morphological processes in different geomorphological settings in China

Hydro-morphological processes (HMP, i.e.all processes contained within the spectrum defined between debris flows and flash floods) initiate in response to intense rainfall events.Efficient HMP hazard assessment over large regions is often hindered because of limited rainfall observations over mountainous areas.Real-time and easily accessible satell

Tissues and Cell Types of Appendage Regeneration: A Detailed Look at the Wound Epidermis and Its Specialized Forms

Therapeutic implementation of human limb regeneration is a daring aim.Studying species that can Cables regrow their lost appendages provides clues on how such a feat can be achieved in mammals.One of the unique features of regeneration-competent species lies in their ability to seal the amputation plane with a scar-free wound epithelium.Subsequentl

Early high-dose vitamin C in post-cardiac arrest syndrome (VITaCCA): study protocol for a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled trial

Abstract Background High-dose intravenous vitamin C directly scavenges and decreases the production of harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated during ischemia/reperfusion after a cardiac arrest.The aim of this study is to investigate whether short-term treatment with a supplementary or very high-dose intravenous vitamin C reduces organ fail
