Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive motor neuron disease with a high incidence and is the most common genetic cause of infant mortality.SMA is primarily characterized by degeneration of the spinal motor neurons that leads to skeletal muscle atrophy followed by symmetric limb paralysis, respiratory failure, and death.In humans, m
Alightweight polymer composite with a broad bandwidth, tunable absorption frequency and multi-functionality is an ideal material for making a radar absorber.In general, composite microcellular foams have many potential applications due to their lightweight, high mechanical properties and monotonous cell structure.In this research, the effect of foa
During the last decade, migration flows have greatly affected the Italian economy and demography.The trend is growing, not only because of the ideal geographic position for transit, but also due to the Italian economic structure, and business interest: Cheap labour is greatly in demand among employers.The increasing number of migrants has created a
Pinus yunnanensis Franch.(Pinaceae) is an important endemic tree species that serves as a critical constituent of the forest ecosystems and plays a significant role in forestry economic production in southwest China.P.yunnanensis comprises three varieties: var.yunnanensis, var.pygmaea and var.tenuifolia, with significant variation in traits, such a
Pseudomonas strain NCIMB10586, in the P.fluorescens subgroup, produces the polyketide antibiotic mupirocin, and has potential as a host for industrial production of a range of valuable products.To underpin further studies on its genetics and physiology, we have used a combination of standard and atypical approaches to achieve a quality of the genom
