The synthesis process takes place at the periplasmic space to form the cross-linked polysaccharide complex by transglycosylases anchored to the plasma membrane or the cell wall [6]. Similar to other kinds of fungi, the most abundant α/β-1, 3- glucans in edible fungi probably exist in the...
Prestressed segmentally constructed balanced cantilever bridges are often subjected to larger deflections than those predicted by calculations, especially for long-term effects. In this paper, the case of modular balanced cantilever bridges, which are pr
Studies have demonstrated that these MSCs have the ability to self-renew and are multi-potent in nature, meaning that they can be expanded and form discrete colonies of undifferentiated cells, yet retain the ability to differentiate into different mesenchymal lineages such as, osteoblasts, adipocytes...
Ischemic heart disease was the most common form of CHD reported, with 40 (43%) patients in the EZ/Simva 10/20 mg group and 49 (46%) patients in the Simva 40 mg group (Table 1). Major differences between the studies included the level of fasting plasma glucose, which was higher in...
Values corresponding to probes with identical Entrez ID were averaged to form a single expression value per gene. The PAM50 subtype algorithm [7] was used to assign a subtype label to each sample as previously described [22]. Statistical analysis Subgrouping with cluster analysis of metabolic ...
There was no significant difference in twitching motility between resistant and susceptible bacteria F2, 63 = 0.098, p = 0.91, indicating that pilus mutations, which could lead to reduced motility, were not the primary form of resistance against phages. ...
the parameters which describe plant-parasite interactions involving GFG relationships. In particular, we highlight the importance of costs of resistance and virulence for the metapopulation dynamics of GFG coevolution, and show that these costs are not needed in every deme for polymorphism to be ...
Our previous studies revealed that a new disease form of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is associated with specific Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) strains. To achieve a better understanding of the pathogenicity and evolution of SS2 at the whole-genome level, comparative genomic anal...
Soluble TNFα is processed from its pro-protein form by a specific sheddase, called TACE [30, 31], that is also responsible for the processing of other cytokines and cytokine receptors [32–35]. Interestingly, PTPH1 is known to inhibit TACE expression and activity in vitro[36]. We ...
[13,81], they form one of the few animal lineages able to metabolize lignocellulose, one of the most abundant biomolecule on Earth [21]. Similar to the abundance of their food, termites are also abundant. This is especially true in tropical and subtropical ecosystems where they are the most...
