A blind passenger: a rare case of documented seroconversion in an Angiostrongylus cantonensis induced eosinophilic meningitis in a traveler visiting friends and relatives
Abstract Background Eosinophilic meningitis (EOM) is a rare condition that is caused by various communicable and non-communicable factors.The rat-lungworm Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which is associated with consumption of raw or Apron undercooked paratenic or intermediate hosts, is the most common cause of parasitic eosinophilic meningitis worldw
Transient suppression of SUMOylation in embryonic stem cells generates embryo-like structures
Summary: Recent advances in synthetic embryology have opened new avenues for understanding the complex events controlling mammalian peri-implantation development.Here, we show that mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) solely exposed to chemical inhibition of SUMOylation generate embryo-like structures comprising anterior neural and trunk-associated re
