ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN TOXOPLASMA GONDII SEROPOSITIVITY AND PSYCHOPATHOLOGICAL MANIFESTATIONS IN SCHIZOPHRENIC PATIENTS: A SINGLE-CENTER STUDY FROM ECUADOR.

Associations between Toxoplasma gondii seropositivity and psychopathological manifestations in schizophrenic patients: A single-center study from Ecuador.

BackgroundSchizophrenia, a complex neuropsychiatric disorder, is believed to be influenced by various factors including environmental exposures.A potential environmental factor is the infection by the obligate intracellular parasitic protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii which affects neurotransmitter levels, which could potentially exacerbate, trigger symp

Non-invasive Detection of Exosomal MicroRNAs via Tethered Cationic Lipoplex Nanoparticles (tCLN) Biochip for Lung Cancer Early Detection

Circulating microRNAs carried by exosomes have emerged as promising diagnostic biomarkers for cancer because of their abundant amount and remarkable stability in body fluids.Exosomal microRNAs in blood are typically quantified using the RNA isolation-qRT-PCR workflow, which cannot shoprider streamer parts distinguish circulating microRNAs secreted

Involvement of two uptake mechanisms of gold and iron oxide nanoparticles in a co-exposure scenario using mouse macrophages

Little is known about the simultaneous uptake of different engineered nanoparticle types, as it can be expected in our daily life.In verona wig order to test such co-exposure effects, murine macrophages (J774A.1 cell line) were incubated with gold (AuNPs) and iron oxide nanoparticles (FeOxNPs) either alone or combined.Environmental scanning electro
