Colombia is one of the most socioeconomically unequal countries worldwide, with rural regions facing severe poverty, under-resourced schools, precarious economic opportunities, and an unresolved armed conflict.These inequalities are often overlooked in ELT policies and social practices, as rural institutions and educational actors are expected to a
Possibilities for correcting diffuse alopecia associated with prior coronavirus infection (COVID-19)
Diffuse alopecia (DA) is a disease characterized by a diffuse hair loss associated with alterations in physiological hair cycle due read more to an exposure of hair follicles to various endogenous and exogenous factors.The disease is mainly caused by alterations in the cyclicity of hair follicle phases anagen, telogen and catagen.Pathogenetic thera
Down-regulation of miR-125b by HPV16 E6 might promote cervical cancer progression through TAZ/TEAD
BackgroundAbnormal gene expression due to the dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) often occurred in the initiation or progression of cancers.In this attempt, we investigate whether miR-125b regulates biological behaviors of cervical cancer caused by HPV16 through TAZ.MethodsThrough the application of bioinformatics analysis techniques, differential
Biocrusts intensify water redistribution and improve water availability to dryland vegetation: insights from a spatially-explicit ecohydrological model
Biocrusts are ecosystem engineers in drylands and structure the landscape through their ecohydrological effects.They regulate soil infiltration and evaporation but also surface water redistribution, providing important resources for vascular vegetation.Spatially-explicit ecohydrological models are useful tools to explore such ecohydrological mechan
