HUMAN OTIC PROGENITOR CELL MODELS OF CONGENITAL HEARING LOSS REVEAL POTENTIAL PATHOPHYSIOLOGIC MECHANISMS OF ZIKA VIRUS AND CYTOMEGALOVIRUS INFECTIONS

ABSTRACTCongenital hearing loss is a common chronic condition affecting children in both developed and developing nations.Viruses correlated with congenital hearing loss include human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and Zika virus (ZIKV), which causes congenital Zika syndrome.The mechanisms by which HCMV and ZIKV infections cause hearing loss are poorly und

Suitable field workdays for agricultural machine operations nurevolution dip powder colors (ploughing, harrowing and ridging) of some selected areas of Kaduna State in Nigeria were determined using soil moisture level and rainfall criteria.These involved the development of soil moisture budget and establishment of tractability criteria for each soi

Brazil has great biodiversity, which is observed in the Cerrado biome of the tropical Brazilian savanna.The objectives of this study were to isolate and identify bacteria from Psychotria hoffmannseggiana with potential cellulase and pectinase production and with antagonistic activity against Aspergillus carbonarius, an Ochratoxin A (OTA) producer.R
