Myosin light chain kinase mediates intestinal barrier disruption following burn injury.
BACKGROUND: Severe burn injury results in the loss of intestinal barrier function, however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.Myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation mediated by MLC kinase (MLCK) is critical to the pathophysiological regulation of intestinal barrier function.We hypothesized that the MLCK-dependent MLC phosphorylation mediat
Using the Spatial Knowledge of Map Users to Personalize City Maps: A Case Study with Tourists in Madrid, Spain
The aim of personalized maps is to help individual users to read maps and focus on the most task-relevant information.Several approaches have been suggested to develop personalized maps for cities, but few consider the spatial knowledge of its users.We propose the design of “cognitively-aware” personalized maps, which take into account
