ZIKA VIRUS VERTICAL TRANSMISSION INDUCES NEUROINFLAMMATION AND SYNAPSE IMPAIRMENT IN BRAIN CELLS DERIVED FROM CHILDREN BORN WITH CONGENITAL ZIKA SYNDROME

Zika virus vertical transmission induces neuroinflammation and synapse impairment in brain cells derived from children born with Congenital Zika Syndrome

Abstract Zika virus (ZIKV) infection was first reported in 2015 in Brazil as causing microcephaly and other developmental abnormalities in newborns, leading to the identification of Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS).Viral infections have been considered an environmental risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders outcome, such as Autism Spectrum Diso

Experimental study about the influence of adhesive stiffness to the bonding strengths of adhesives for ceramic/metal targets

The aim of the investigations presented here was to understand how the stiffness of the adhesive affects the failure of ceramic tiles adhered to metallic backings.The working hypothesis was that varying the adhesive stiffness could have the same effect on the ballistic performance as a variation of the adhesive thickness.Two different projectile/ta
