Recent studies have documented the presence of Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) in the small intestine and its capacity to transport cholesterol in mice and rats.The current investigation was undertaken to explore the localization and function of NPC1L1 in human enterocytes.Cell fractionation experiments revealed an NPC1L1 association with apical IV
Blinks and saccades, both ubiquitous in natural viewing conditions, cause rapid changes of visual inputs Graveur-Decoupeur Laser that are hardly consciously perceived.The neural dynamics in early visual areas of the human brain underlying this remarkable visual stability are still incompletely understood.We used electrocorticography (ECoG) from ele
The role of common fragile sites (CFSs) in cancer remains controversial.Two main views dominate the discussion: one suggests that CFS loci are hotspots of genomic instability leading to inactivation of genes encoded within them, while the other view proposes that CFSs are functional units and that loss of the encoded genes confers selective pressur
Monarch butterfly optimization (MBO) algorithm is a newly-developed metaheuristic approach that has shown striking performance on several benchmark problems.In order to enhance the performance of MBO, many scholars proposed various strategies for benchmark evaluation and practical applications.As an application of artificial intelligence (AI), mach
The composition of minority compounds in samples of roasted and ground coffee (Coffea arabica var.caturra) cultivated in three altitudinal ranges 1300-1400, 1400-1600, 1600-1800 m.a.s.l., in the Huila department of Colombia were determined.The samples were collected in July of 2012.pH, total 5mm acidity and total lipids were measured.Subsequently,
