Summary: Inhibitory neurons are essential for orchestrating and structuring behavior.We use one of the best studied behaviors in Drosophila, male courtship, to analyze how inhibitory, GABAergic neurons shape the different steps of this multifaceted motor sequence.RNAi-mediated knockdown of the GABA-producing enzyme GAD1 Jordan and the ionotropic re
As the dominant global media, Western media face constant ethical challenges.In a fast-paced, fast-changing world post-9/11, Western media have been accused of misrepresenting Islam and Muslims through biased reporting and misinformation.Muslims are often depicted as a homogenous group prone to acts of terrorism.Unsurprisingly, Muslims are cautious
Abstract Background Structural variants (SVs) are known to play important roles in a variety of cancers, but their origins and functional consequences are still poorly understood.Many SVs are thought to emerge from errors in the repair processes following DNA double strand breaks (DSBs).Results We used experimentally quantified DSB frequencies in c
ABSTRACT Reactive chlorine species (RCS) defense mechanisms are important for bacterial fitness in diverse environments.In addition to the anthropogenic use of RCS in the form of bleach, these compounds are also produced naturally through photochemical reactions of natural organic matter and in vivo by the mammalian immune system in response to inv
Aging is a multifactorial process that is characterized by decline in muscle mass and performance.Several factors, including reduced exercise, poor nutrition and modified hormonal metabolism, are responsible for changes in the rates of protein synthesis and degradation that drive skeletal muscle mass reduction with a consequent decline of force gen
