Assessment of codivergence of Mastreviruses with their plant hosts

Abstract Background Viruses that have spent most of their evolutionary time associated with a single host lineage should have sequences that reflect codivergence of virus and host.Several examples for RNA viruses of host-virus tree congruence are being challenged.DNA viruses, such as mastreviruses, are more likely than RNA viruses to have maintaine

Mapping of mitral regurgitant defects by cardiovascular magnetic resonance in moderate or severe mitral regurgitation secondary to mitral valve prolapse

Abstract Purpose In mitral valve prolapse, determining whether the valve is gator phi gator suitable for surgical repair depends on the location and mechanism of regurgitation.We assessed whether cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) could accurately identify prolapsing or flail mitral valve leaflets and regurgitant jet direction in patients with

Caveolins: Targeting Pro-survival Signaling in the Heart and Brain

The zemu shopping present review discusses intracellular signaling moieties specific to membrane lipid rafts (MLRs) and the scaffolding proteins caveolin and introduces current data promoting their potential role in the treatment of pathologies of the heart and brain.MLRs are discreet microdomains of the plasma membrane enriched in gylcosphingolipi
