ANTAGONISTIC REGULATION BY INSULIN-LIKE PEPTIDE AND ACTIVIN ENSURES THE ELABORATION OF APPROPRIATE DENDRITIC FIELD SIZES OF AMACRINE NEURONS

Antagonistic regulation by insulin-like peptide and activin ensures the elaboration of appropriate dendritic field sizes of amacrine neurons

Establishing appropriate sizes and shapes of dendritic arbors is critical for proper wiring of the central nervous system.Here we report that Insulin-like Peptide 2 (DILP2) locally activates transiently expressed insulin receptors in the central dendrites of Drosophila Dm8 amacrine neurons to positively regulate dendritic field elaboration.We Neopr

Investigation of Drilling Machinability of Compacted Graphite Iron under Dry and Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL)

Compacted graphite iron (CGI), which is used as a potential material in the auto industry, is a hard-to-machine material for the different minor elements and for the geometry of graphite with grey cast iron.The machinability of CGI in the drilling process was investigated with a 4-mm diameter fine-grain carbide twist drill under four lubrication co

Inadvertent Use of Oral Corticosteroids Leading to Iatrogenic Cushing Syndrome in an Infant with Down Syndrome

Children with down syndrome often have an increased predisposition to recurrent viral related wheezing episodes and other issues like increased oropharyngeal secretions due to hypotonia.Lower airway anomalies such as tracheobronchomalacia and tracheal stenosis are also common.Children with tracheal abnormalities may have a chronic cough or noisy br
