The Northern Bald Ibis Geronticus eremita is an endangered species, and recently it was reintroduced in Europe by the Waldrappteam.The reintroduction program has been strongly threatened by several sudden deaths, mainly in Italy.The present study used a forensic approach to analyze all of the 27 Northern Bald Ibises found dead in Italy between 2016
RKIP Inhibits Local Breast Cancer Invasion by Antagonizing the Transcriptional Activation of MMP13.
Raf Kinase Inhibitory Protein or RKIP was initially identified as a Raf-1 binding protein using the yeast 2-hybrid screen.RKIP inhibits the activation phosphorylation of MEK by Raf-1 by competitively inhibiting the binding of MEK to Raf-1 and thus exerting an inhibitory effect on the Raf-MEK-Erk pathway.RKIP has been identified as a metastasis supp
Autoimmunity in monogenic combined immune deficiencies with associated or syndromic features
BackgroundCombined immune deficiencies (CIDs) with associated or syndromic features are a highly heterogeneous subgroup of inherited immune disorders.These patients represent specific clinical complications with an increased risk of autoimmune conditions.MethodsWe analyzed data of monogenic patients with syndromic CIDs adopted from the Iranian inbo
Morphological Variations of Leading-Edge Serrations in Owls (Strigiformes).
Owls have developed serrations, comb-like structures, along the leading edge of their wings.Serrations were investigated from a morphological and a mechanical point of view, but were not yet quantitatively compared for different species.Such a comparative investigation of serrations from species of different sizes and activity patterns may provide
LSTM-Based Framework for the Synthesis of Original Soundtracks
Recently, significant developments have been made in Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks within the realm of synthesis music.Notwithstanding these advancements, several challenges persist warranting further research.Primarily, there exists an absence of dedicated research on the application of LSTM networks for the synthesis of Original Sound Tr
