Selective modulation of epileptic tissue by an adenosine A3 receptor‐activating...
Ghosh, Anwesha; Ribeiro Rodrigues, Leonor; Ruffolo, Gabriele; Alfano, Veronica; Domingos, Cátia; Rei, Nádia; Tosh, Dilip K.; Rombo, Diogo M.Background and purpose: Adenosine, through the A1 receptor (A1R), is an endogenous anticonvulsant. The development of adenosine receptor agonists as antiseizure medications has been hampered by their cardiac side effects. A moderately A1R-selective agonist, MRS5474, has been reported to suppress seizures without considerable cardiac action. Hypothesizing that this drug could act through other than A1R and/or th...
Warming, and the presence of a dominant shredder, drive variation in decomposer...
Domingos, Cátia; Ferreira, Verónica; Canhoto, Cristina; Swan, Christopher M.We assessed the effects of rising temperature and presence of a dominant detritivore (Allogamus laureatus; Trichoptera, Limnephilidae) on the decomposition of submerged oak litter (Quercus robur L.) and associated detritivore and fungal communities in a mountain stream in central Portugal. It was divided longitudinally, with one half maintained at ambient temperature (mean = 12.4 C) while the other was warmed *...
