C-type lectins are a family of proteins with carbohydrate-binding activity.Several C-type lectins in mammals or arthropods are employed as receptors or attachment factors to facilitate flavivirus invasion.We previously identified a C-type lectin in Aedes aegypti, designated as mosquito galactose specific C-type lectin-1 (mosGCTL-1), facilitating th
Given the widespread concern but general lack of information over the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection in public transport, key issues such as passenger personal hygiene, efficient air circulation systems, and the effective disinfection of frequently touched surfaces need to be evaluated to educate the public and diminish the risk of viral trans
Abstract Background Lignin and lignans are both derived from the monolignol pathway.Despite the similarity of their building blocks, they fulfil different functions in planta.Lignin strengthens the tissues of the plant, while lignans are involved in plant defence and growth regulation.Their biosyntheses are tuned both spatially and temporally to su
The INIA19 is a new, high-quality template for imaging-based studies of non-human primate brains created from high-resolution T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images of 19 rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) animals.Combined with the comprehensive cortical and subcortical label map of the NeuroMaps atlas, the INIA19 is equally suitable for studies r
Marine and terrestrial ecosystems are declining globally due to environmental degradation and poorly planned resource use.Traditionally, local government agencies have been responsible of the management of natural reserves to preserve biodiversity.Nonetheless, much of these approaches have failed, suggesting the development of more integrative stra
