Melochia villosa (Mill.) Fawc.& Rendle is one of the species belonging to the Sterculiaceae family that has been little studied phytochemically.The objective of the research was to perform phytochemical analysis and characterization of the alcoholic and ethereal extracts of the stem of this species, in order to identify secondary metabolites presen
BackgroundCOVID-19 vaccines play a critical role in reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and despite vaccine availability, disparities in COVID-19 vaccine uptake among Canadian subgroups exist.Community organizations are uniquely situated to relay important vaccine messaging around all vaccines, understand compo
With the increase of combustion temperatures, the thermal radiation effect for hot components in the new generation of aero-engines has become a key factor in the combustion process, cooling structure design, and thermal protection.A radiation loading system can be used as an BOSWELLIA external heat source to simulate the real thermal environment o
BACKGROUND: Rickettsia raoultii is a novel Rickettsia species recently isolated from Dermacentor ticks and classified within the spotted fever group (SFG).The inability of R.raoultii to spread within L929 cells suggests that this bacterium is unable to polymerize host cell actin, a property exhibited by all SFG rickettsiae except R.peacocki.This re
For clinical applications of cells and tissue engineering products it is of importance to characterize the quality of the used cells in detail.Progenitor cells from the periosteum are already routinely applied in the clinics for the regeneration of the maxillary bone.Periosteal cells have, in addition to their potential to differentiate into bone,
