Development and Structural Variety of the Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycans-Contained Extracellular Matrix in the Mouse Brain by Noriko Horii-Hayashi, Takayo Sasagawa, Wataru Matsunaga, Mayumi Nishi

“…Here, we examined the starting period of PNN formation in male mice ranging in age from postnatal day 3 to week 11, mainly focusing on several cortical areas, limbic structures, hypothalamus, and brain stem, using lectin histochemistry with Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA). Results showed that early PNN formation was observed in several reticular formations of the brain stem related to the cranial nerves and primary somatosensory cortices. …”

Detection of Candida tropicalis from camel mastitis by S. A. Esmaeel, S. F. H. Al-Abedi, M. A. Altaliby, Q. T. Al-Obaidi

“…The present study was conducted to detect Candida tropicalis as a cause of camel mastitis (CM) us-ing routine diagnostic tests including Sabouraud’s dextrose agar (SDA) and API (analytical profile index) test strips, which were confirmed through amplification of the 18S rRNA gene of C. tropicalis using conventional polymerase chain reaction (c-PCR) technique and to investigate of the virulence genes of C. tropicalis including secreted aspartyl proteinase (SAPT4) and agglutinin-like sequence (ALST1) genes using c-PCR. …”

Consumption of a High-Fat Diet Alters Perineuronal Nets in the Prefrontal Cortex by P. M. Dingess, J. H. Harkness, M. Slaker, Z. Zhang, S. S. Wulff, B. A. Sorg, T. E. Brown

“…The PNN “number” and intensity were then quantified in the prelimbic (PL-PFC), infralimbic (IL-PFC), and ventral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) using Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA). Our results demonstrated that fat exposure, independent of weight gain, induced a robust decrease in the PNN intensity in the PL-PFC and OFC and a decrease in the PNN number in the OFC.…”
