Freezing suppression by oxytocin in central amygdala allows alternate defensive behaviours and mother-pup interactions

When animals and their offspring are threatened, parents switch from self-defense to ATLAS CEDAR offspring protection.How self-defense is suppressed remains elusive.We postulated that suppression of the self-defense response, freezing, is gated via oxytocin acting in the centro-lateral amygdala (CeL).We found that rat dams conditioned to fear an od

A monoallelic deletion of the TcCRT gene increases the attenuation of a cultured Trypanosoma cruzi strain, protecting against an in vivo virulent challenge.

Trypanosoma cruzi calreticulin (TcCRT) is a virulence factor that binds complement C1, thus inhibiting the activation of the classical complement pathway and generating pro-phagocytic signals that increase parasite infectivity.In a previous work, ELDERBERRY SYRUP we characterized a clonal cell line lacking one TcCRT allele (TcCRT+/-) and another ov
