PHOTOMECHANICAL WAVE-DRIVEN DELIVERY OF SIRNAS TARGETING INTERMEDIATE FILAMENT PROTEINS PROMOTES FUNCTIONAL RECOVERY AFTER SPINAL CORD INJURY IN RATS.

Photomechanical wave-driven delivery of siRNAs targeting intermediate filament proteins promotes functional recovery after spinal cord injury in rats.

The formation of glial scars after spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the factors inhibiting axonal regeneration.Glial scars are mainly composed of reactive astrocytes overexpressing intermediate filament (IF) proteins such as glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin.In the current study, we delivered small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targ

Modification of microbiological quality and valorization of different ruminants species ruminal content in farm animals feeding

This study is based on the microbiological analysis of a common slaughterhouse by-product which is the rumen content, before and after treatment with HCl 1N, targeting its valorization in domestic animal feeding.A total of 24 rumen content samples were collected in pairs (two series) immediately after slaughter from 12 ruminants (cattle, sheep and
