- Comparison of predictive validity of two Autism Spectrum Disorder Rat Models: Behavioural investigationsby C Morel on May 18, 2024
The valproic acid model has been shown to reproduce ASD-like behaviours observed in patients and is now widely validated for construct, face, and predictivity as ASD model in rat. The literature agrees on using a single exposition to 500mg/kg of VPA at gestational day 12 to induce ASD phenotype with the intraperitoneal route being the most commonly used. However, some studies validated this model with repeated exposure by using oral route. The way of administration may be of great importance in...
- Platelets and inter-cellular communication in immune responses: Dialogue with both professional and non-professional immune cellsby Puja Kumari on May 18, 2024
Platelets, derived from bone marrow megakaryocytes, are essential for vascular integrity and play multifaceted roles in both physiological and pathological processes within the vasculature.
