The colouring, sealing and abrasion resistance of anodic oxide coatings by Smith, Marilyn

“…The assumption is made that Yt (25[degrees]C ) = a + bt and linear regression has been used to find b. It has been found that for batches having a range of thicknesses but a common sealing time, the linear relation is a reasonable assumption when the gradient is <+10. …”

mGlu5 receptors and cellular prion protein mediate amyloid-β-facilitated synaptic long-term depression in vivo by Hu, Neng-Wei, Nicoll, Andrew J., Zhang, Dainan, Mably, Alexandra J., O’Malley, Tiernan, Purro, Silvia A., Terry, Cassandra, Collinge, John, Walsh, Dominic M., Rowan, Michael J.

“…Blocking Aβ binding to cellular prion protein with antibodies prevents the facilitation of long-term depression. Our findings uncover an overarching role for Aβ-PrP(C)-mGlu5R interplay in mediating both LTD facilitation and LTP inhibition, encompassing NMDAR-mediated processes that were previously considered primary.…”
