MYELOID LEUKEMIAS AND VIRALLY INDUCED LYMPHOMAS IN MINIATURE INBRED SWINE; DEVELOPMENT OF A LARGE ANIMAL TUMOR MODEL

Myeloid leukemias and virally induced lymphomas in miniature inbred swine; development of a large animal tumor model

The lack of a large animal transplantable tumor model has limited the study of novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of liquid cancers.Swine as a species provide a natural option based on their similarities with humans and their already extensive use in biomedical research.Specifically, the MGH miniature swine herd retains unique genetic c

Plant traits and environment: floating leaf blade production and turnover of Nymphoides peltata (S.G. Gmel.) O. Kuntze (Menyanthaceae)

Background Nymphaeid macrophytes, rooting in the sediment of water bodies and characterized by floating leaves, play an important role in wetland ecosystems.The present research deals with the effects of limited space, limited nutrient availability, water temperature and an unexpected inundation on the production, turnover and plasticity of floatin

Initial programme theory for community-based ART delivery for key populations in Benue State, Nigeria: a realist evaluation study

Abstract Background The community-based antiretroviral therapy delivery (CBART) model was implemented in Benue State in Nigeria to increase access of key populations living with HIV (KPLHIV) to antiretroviral treatment.Key populations (KP) are female sex workers, men who have sex with men, persons who inject drugs, and transgender people.Evidence s
