The frontiers of clinical research on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in Neuropsychiatry
(2015)
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation intervention that induces changes in cortical activity and excitability according to the parameters of stimulation. TDCS effects have been ...
Frontiers of Sulfur Metabolism in Plant Growth, Development, and Stress Response
(2016)
Growing plants have a constitutive demand for sulfur to synthesize proteins, sulfolipids and other essential sulfur containing molecules for growth and development. The uptake and subsequent distribution of sulfate is ...
Frontiers in the Acquisition of Literacy
(2015)
Learning to read, and to spell are two of the most important cultural skills that must be acquired by children, and for that matter, anyone learning a second language. We are not born with an innate ability to read. A ...
Frontiers in Skeletal Muscle Wasting, Regeneration and Stem Cells
(2016)
The search for knowledge on cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in skeletal muscle mass homeostasis and regeneration is an exciting scientific area and extremely important to develop therapeutic strategies for ...
Frontiers in Synaptic Plasticity: Dendritic Spines, Circuitries and Behavior
(2016)
The term “synaptic plasticity” is a broad concept, which is studied with a variety of experimental approaches. One focus is the impact of changes in synaptic, neuronal and glial morphology on brain circuitry and behavior. ...
Frontiers in the Pharmacological Manipulation of Intracellular cAMP Levels
(2016)
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a second messenger of paramount biological importance, involved in the regulation of a significant number of cellular functions through the cAMP-dependent intracellular signal ...
Genomics and Effectomics of the Crop Killer Xanthomonas
(2016)
Phytopathogenic bacteria of the Xanthomonas genus cause severe diseases on hundreds of host plants, including economically important crops, such as bean, cabbage, cassava, citrus, hemp, pepper, rice, sugarcane, tomato or ...
Genome-wide view on the physiology of vitamin D
(2014)
The main physiological actions of the biologically most active metabolite of vitamin D, 1a,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(1a,25(OH)2D3), are calcium and phosphorus uptake and transport and thereby controlling bone formation. Other ...
Genomic Approaches for Improvement of Understudied Grasses
(2017)
Grasses are diverse, spanning native prairies to high-yielding grain cropping systems. They are valued for their beauty and useful for soil stabilization, pollution mitigation, biofuel production, nutritional value, and ...
Experimental models of early exposure to alcohol: a way to unravel the neurobiology of mental retardation
(2015)
Excessive alcohol drinking represents a major social and public health problem for several countries. Alcohol abuse during pregnancy leads to a complex syndrome referred to as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), chiefly ...
