Consumption of tea has been associated with reduced cardiovascular risk (CVD). Epidemiological and clinical studies have demonstrated that tea intervention may improve vascular function by enhancing nitric oxide bioavailability. ...

The human intestinal epithelium constitutes major component of the body’s interaction with the external environment. In addition to performing physiological functions such as digestion and absorption of nutrients, this ...

Of key importance among natural behaviours are territorial chases in which insects guard and defend home territories by chasing away aerial interlopers. Such territorial behaviours allow insects to secure mates and are ...

Ligand L (L= 1, 4-bis (4-pyridyl)-2, 3-diaza-1, 3-butadiene) belonging to an interesting family of nitrogen-donors has been utilised with Cd(II) salt in constructing two 2D MOFs. Crystallographic characterisations reveal ...

In this work, we analyze the stability of spherically symmetric spacetimes sourced by perfect and anisotropic uids under a class of gravitational per- turbations. This has been done in a gauge-invariant formalism developed ...

Chemotherapy is the important primary treatment for cancer. However traditional chemotherapeutic drugs fail to selectively accumulate at the tumor site, resulting in undesired side effects and inadequate drug concentrations ...

The epidermis covers the entire organism forming a barrier between the external environment and the organism. It averts any mechanical, biological or chemical attack from the environment. Epidermis is not a static but ...

Metazoan embryo development starts with division of a simple cell to epithelial cells containing a predominant hexagonal organization. Epithelial cells have distinct morphology and protein complexes demarcating the apical, ...
