TL;DR: It is found that the derived allele of this site is less efficient than the ancestral allele in activating transcription from a reporter construct, and is a plausible candidate for having caused a recent selective sweep in the FOXP2 gene.

TL;DR: The data provide a staging of cognitive, structural/ultrastructural, and neuropathological markers in the STZ-icv rat model that in many aspects seems to be generally comparable to stages seen in human sAD.

TL;DR: Treatment with either AgNP or Ag ions resulted in membrane damage and reduced the cell function of human liver cells, and oxidative stress markers indicated that oxidative stress might contribute to the toxicity effects of nano and ionic forms of silver.

TL;DR: Evaluating the effects of surface coating on colloidal stability and behavior of AgNPs and SPIONs in modelled biological environments using dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering techniques, as well as transmission electron microscopy, highlighted the importance of physicochemical characterization and stability evaluation of metallic NPs in a variety of biological systems including as many NP properties as possible.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that common in vitro assays, without appropriate cause-and-effect analysis and adaptation or modification, are ineffective in the evaluation of biological effects of metallic NPs due to their interaction with optical readouts and assay components.
