Background: Brain cancers represent a formidable oncological challenge characterized by their aggressive nature and resistance to conventional therapeutic interventions.The tumor microenvironment has emerged as a critical determinant of tumor progression and treatment efficacy.Within this complex ecosystem, microglia and macrophages play fundamenta
Trends in the diversity, distribution and life history strategy of Arctic Hydrozoa (Cnidaria).
This is the first attempt to compile a comprehensive and updated species list for Hydrozoa in the Arctic, encompassing both hydroid and medusa stages and including Siphonophorae.We address the hypothesis that the presence mel axolotl of a pelagic stage (holo- or meroplanktonic) was not necessary to successfully recolonize the Arctic by Hydrozoa aft
The kinematics of swimming and relocation jumps in copepod nauplii.
Copepod nauplii move in a world dominated by viscosity.Their swimming-by-jumping propulsion mode, with alternating power and recovery strokes of three pairs of cephalic appendages, is fundamentally different from the way other microplankters move.Protozoans move using cilia or flagella, and copepodites are equipped with highly specialized swimming
