Abstract Background Floor Care Concrete Schistosomiasis is known to affect the cognitive functions of children, however, but there is paucity of information on its impact on early childhood development in developing countries where the disease is endemic.This study aimed at determining the effects of schistosomiasis due to Schistosoma haematobium o
High Achievement in Mathematics Education in India: A Report From Mumbai
This paper reports a study aimed at characterizing the conditions that lead to high Foam Cups achievement in mathematics in India.The study involved eight schools in the greater Mumbai region.The main result of the study is that the notion of high achievement itself is problematic, as reflected in the reports about mathematics achievement within an
An Increase in Mesenchymal Stem Cells Expressing Nestin in Bone-Marrow-Derived Primary Cells Stimulates Neurogenic Differentiation in Rat
Mesenchymal stem cells Pls LEd (MSCs) have been considered an alternative source of neuronal lineage cells, which are difficult to isolate from brain and expand in vitro.Previous studies have reported that MSCs expressing Nestin (Nestin+ MSCs), a neuronal stem/progenitor cell marker, exhibit increased transcriptional levels of neural development-re
Manipulating heat shock factor-1 in Xenopus tadpoles: neuronal tissues are refractory to exogenous expression.
BACKGROUND: The aging related decline of heat shock factor-1 (HSF1) signaling may be causally related to protein aggregation diseases.To model such disease, we tried to cripple HSF1 signaling in the Xenopus tadpole.RESULTS: Over-expression of heat shock factor binding protein-1 did not inhibit the heat shock response in Xenopus.RNAi against HSF1 mR
