GENETIC MAPPING OF ESCALATED AGGRESSION IN WILD-DERIVED MOUSE STRAIN MSM/MS: ASSOCIATION WITH SEROTONIN-RELATED GENES

Genetic mapping of escalated aggression in wild-derived mouse strain MSM/Ms: association with serotonin-related genes

The Japanese wild-derived 9.12/9BV mouse strain MSM/Ms (MSM) retains a wide range of traits related to behavioral wildness, including high levels of emotionality and avoidance of humans.In this study, we observed that MSM showed a markedly higher level of aggression than the standard laboratory strain C57BL/6J.Whereas almost all MSM males showed hi

Effects of single injection of local anesthetic agents on intervertebral disc degeneration: ex vivo and long-term in vivo experimental study.

Analgesic discography (discoblock) can be used to diagnose or treat discogenic low back pain by injecting a small amount of local anesthetics.However, recent in vitro studies have revealed cytotoxic effects of local anesthetics on intervertebral disc (IVD) cells.Here we aimed to investigate the deteriorative effects of lidocaine and bupivacaine on

MAGIC: conoscere i mari italiani e individuarne i geo-rischi

MAGIC project: Marine Geohazard along the Italian Coasts MAGIC Project is funded by the Italian Civil Protection Department (DPC) to produce a bathymetric database as reference for compiling Sleeveless Romper maps (1:50.000) of marine geo-hazard.During its 5-year life span (2007-2012), MAGIC will allow the acquisition of high-resolution multibeam b
