TL;DR: The effects of morphine on innate and adaptive immunity are summarized, the role of the mu opioid receptor in these functions and the signal transduction activated in the process are identified and the clinical relevance of these findings will be discussed.

TL;DR: This paper used SHRIMP (sensitive, high-resolution ion microprobe) U-Pb zircon geochronology to date silicified tuffs bounding the Chorhat Sandstone.

TL;DR: In this paper, a treatise of mat-related sedimentary features that one may expect to see in ancient terrigenous clastic sedimentary successions is presented. But it is based on a combination of modern occurrences and likely ancient counterparts, and the connection is made to likely formative processes and the utilization of these features in the interpretation of ancient sedimentary rocks.

TL;DR: The Vindhyan supergroup of central India as mentioned in this paper was divided into two sequences, the rift stage and the sag stage, and a marked change in sedimentation pattern was coupled with a transient plate-margin compression in the otherwise extensional regime.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first time, using bacterial 16s rDNA sequencing, that chronic morphine treatment significantly alters the gut microbial composition and induces preferential expansion of Gram-positive pathogenic and reduction in bile-deconjugating bacterial strains.
