Cortical vein thrombosis in adult patients of cerebral venous sinus thrombosi...
Abstract Background Cortical vein thrombosis (CVT) receives little attention in adult patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). This study aimed to investigate the... -
Identification of interchangeable cross-species function of elongation factor...
Abstract Background Tick-borne Babesia bigemina is responsible for acute and potentially lethal hemolytic disease in cattle. The development of genetic manipulation tools... -
Removal of the product from the culture medium strongly enhances free fatty a...
Abstract Background Cyanobacterial mutants engineered for production of free fatty acids (FFAs) secrete the products to the medium and hence are thought to be useful for biofuel... -
Synthesis of graphene oxide-quaternary ammonium nanocomposite with synergisti...
Abstract Background Bacterial infection is one of the most common complications in burn, trauma, and chronic refractory wounds and is an impediment to healing. The frequent... -
The whole - genome expression analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells ...
Abstract Background Up to 30 % of adults with severe asthma are hypersensitive to aspirin and no unambiguous theory exists which provides a satisfactory explanation for the... -
Spirometric changes during exacerbations of COPD: a post hoc analysis of the ...
Abstract Background Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with loss of lung function and poor outcomes for patients. However, there are... -
Rice transcription factor OsMADS57 regulates plant height by modulating gibbe...
Abstract Background The MADS-box transcription factors mainly function in floral organ organogenesis and identity specification. Few research on their roles in vegetative growth... -

Abstract Background The aim of this prospective placebo-controlled pilot study was to evaluate short-term effects of a mouthrinse containing aluminium triformate (ATF) on... -
SOX2 interferes with the function of CDX2 in bile acid-induced gastric intest...
Abstract Background Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a premalignant lesion associated with gastric cancer. Both animal and clinical studies have revealed that bile acid reflux and... -
Pervasive read-through transcription of T-DNAs is frequent in tobacco BY-2 ce...
Abstract Background Plant transformation via Agrobacterium tumefaciens is characterized by integration of commonly low number of T-DNAs at random positions in the genome. When... -
Enantiomer discrimination in β-phenylalanine degradation by a newly isolated ...
Abstract Despite their key role in numerous natural compounds, β-amino acids have rarely been studied as substrates for microbial degradation. Fermentation of the newly isolated... -
cAMP- and cGMP-elevating agents inhibit GPIbα-mediated aggregation but not GP...
Abstract Background The glycoprotein (GP) Ib-IX-V complex is a unique platelet plasma membrane receptor, which is essential for platelet adhesion and thrombus formation. GPIbα,... -
Highly active promoters and native secretion signals for protein production d...
Abstract Background The filamentous ascomycete Aspergillus niger is used in many industrial processes for the production of enzymes and organic acids by batch and fed-batch... -
Pathway activity profiling of growth factor receptor network and stemness pat...
Abstract Background Gene expression profiling of rare cancers has proven challenging due to limited access to patient materials and requirement of intact, non-degraded RNA for... -
Measurement of plasma norepinephrine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol: method de...
Abstract Objective Norepinephrine (NE), a sympathetic neurotransmitter, is often measured in plasma as an index of sympathetic activity. To better understand NE dynamics, it is... -
Bacterial communities and metabolic activity of faecal cultures from equol pr...
Abstract Background Isoflavones are polyphenols with estrogenic activity found mainly in soy and soy-derived products that need to be metabolised in the intestine by the gut... -
Quinones are growth factors for the human gut microbiota
Abstract Background The human gut microbiome has been linked to numerous components of health and disease. However, approximately 25% of the bacterial species in the gut remain...
