Molecular control to salt tolerance mechanisms of woody plants: Recent achievements and perspectives
(EDP Sciences, 2021-12)
Key message: Woody plants have salt-tolerant mechanisms similar to those developed by non-woody plants. Among others, compartmentalization of ions, production of compatible solutes, synthesis of specific proteins and ...
It takes guts for tolerance: The phenomenon of oral tolerance and the regulation of autoimmune response
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
The intestinal tract is a peculiar environment due to its constant contact with the microbiota agents, food antigens and other molecules. Such exposure requires the establishment of important regulatory mechanisms in order ...
Age-related changes in ocular mucosal tolerance: Lessons learned from gut and respiratory tract immunity
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-04)
The ocular surface is the part of the visual system directly exposed to the environment, and it comprises the cornea, the first refractive tissue layer and its surrounding structures. The ocular surface has evolved to keep ...
Microorganisms in the female genital tract during pregnancy: tolerance versus pathogenesis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-05-01)
Microorganisms in the pregnant female genital tract are not always associated with pathology. The factors that influence the maternal response to microorganisms remain ill defined. We review the state of knowledge of ...
Current Status of Allograft Tolerance in Intestinal Transplantation
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-05)
Solid organ transplantation has become a clinical practice after the development of different immunosuppressive drugs that allowed controlling rejection. The price to be paid for that is the permanent risk of infections ...
Seedling survival of Handroanthus impetiginosus (Mart ex DC) Mattos in a semi-arid environment through modified germination speed and post-germination desiccation tolerance
(Int Inst Ecology, 2015-11-01)
Uniform rapid seed germination generally forms a great risk for the plant population if subsequent intermittent precipitation causes desiccation and seedling death. Handroanthus impetiginosus can be found commonly in a ...
Investigation of the CO tolerance mechanism at several Pt-based bimetallic anode electrocatalysts in a PEM fuel cell
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
The electrocatalysis of CO tolerance of Pt/C, PtRu/C, PtFe/C, PtMo/C, and PtW/C at a PEM fuel cell anode has been investigated using single cell polarization and online electrochemical mass spectrometry (EMS) measurements, ...
Stress-adaptive changes in tropical maize (Zea mays L.) under excessive soil moisture stress
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 2013)
The forgotten role of glucose effectiveness in the regulation of glucose tolerance
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2015)
Glucose effectiveness (SG) is the ability of glucose per se to stimulate its own uptake and to suppress its own production under basal/constant insulin concentrations. In an individual, glucose tolerance is a function of ...
