Abstract Cruzipains are the main papain-like cysteine proteases of Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan parasite that causes Chagas disease.Encoded by a multigenic family, previous studies have estimated the presence of dozens of copies spread over multiple chromosomes in different parasite strains.Here, we describe the complete gene repertoire of cruz
Lower canopy temperature (CT), resulting from increased stomatal conductance, has been associated with increased yield in wheat.Historically, CT has been measured with hand-held infrared thermometers.Using the hand-held CT method on large field trials is problematic, mostly because measurements are confounded by temporal weather changes during the
Abstract Background Retrospective assessment of pre-injury health-related quality of life (HRQL) is frequently used to measure change from pre- to post-injury HRQL.However, retrospective measurement may be confounded by recall bias.It is Andrographis assumed that presence of recall bias is influenced by several factors, such as the measurement scal
Platelets are small, anucleate cell fragments that are central to hemostasis, thrombosis, and inflammation.They are derived from megakaryocytes from which they inherit their organelles.As platelets can synthesize proteins and contain many of the enzymes of the secretory pathway, one might expect all mature human platelets to contain a stacked Golgi
