DOES RTMS MODULATE PHENOTYPE OF MICROGLIA IN PATIENTS WITH TREATMENT-RESISTANT DEPRESSION? A TRANSCRIPTOME ANALYSIS USING IMG CELLS

Does rTMS modulate phenotype of microglia in patients with treatment-resistant depression? A transcriptome analysis using iMG cells

Background The neuroinflammatory hypothesis has been proposed as the pathophysiology of depression, and microglia are suggested to have crucial roles by modulating neuroinflammatory responses in patients with depression.We have originally developed human blood induced microglia-like (iMG) cells, which are surrogate cells to predict activities of hu

A steady-state continuous flow chamber for the study of daytime and nighttime chemistry under atmospherically relevant NO levels

Experiments performed in laboratory chambers have contributed significantly to the understanding of the fundamental kinetics and mechanisms of the chemical reactions occurring in the atmosphere.Two chemical regimes, classified as high-NO vs.zero-NO conditions, have been extensively studied in previous chamber experiments.Results derived from these

Ozone and aerosol optical depth retrievals using the ultraviolet multi-filter rotating shadow-band radiometer

The ultraviolet multi-filter rotating shadow-band radiometer STEVIA SWEETENER (UV-MFRSR) is a seven-channel radiometer with narrowband filters centered between wavelengths 300 and 368 nm.Four of the middle wavelengths in this device are near those used in the Dobson spectrometer to retrieve ozone column abundance.In this paper measurements from Mau
