ABSTRACT The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the effects of combination of Ormenis multicaulis dry flower methanolic extracts and Carum carvi seed methanolic extracts on pain and inflammation, compared to their use separately. High‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of methanolic extracts showed the presence of ...

5‐Thiohistidine N‐Acetyltransferase from Proteiniphilum Saccharofermentans
Proteiniphilum saccharofermentans, a Gram‐negative facultative anaerobe, produces an N‐acetyl transferase (5THNAT) that acetylates 5‐thiohistidine using acetyl‐CoA. This reaction competes with OvoC‐mediated Nπ‐methylation of the same substrate.

Rethinking Models of Evaluation: Sustainability as the Goal of International Cultural Organisations [PDF]
The purpose and conduct of organisational evaluation is variously defined and understood. With the shift to the ‘new managerialism’ and the steady advance of audit culture in the public sector, evaluation models have proliferated but they are often ...

Discovery of an Atypical Arp2/3 Complex in Malaria Parasites Sheds New Light on Nuclear Actin
ABSTRACT The Arp2/3 complex is a key actin nucleator essential for cytoskeletal dynamics in eukaryotes. Previously believed absent in apicomplexan parasites, we recently identified an atypical Arp2/3 complex in malaria parasites consisting of five divergent subunits and a putative kinetochore‐associated factor.

The large GTPase atlastin controls ER remodeling around a pathogen vacuole
The ubiquitous environmental bacterium Legionella pneumophila is the causative agent of Legionnaires' pneumonia and replicates in free-living protozoa and mammalian macrophages in a specific compartment, the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV).

Dimer models and conformal structures
Abstract Dimer models have been the focus of intense research efforts over the last years. Our paper grew out of an effort to develop new methods to study minimizers or the asymptotic height functions of general dimer models and the geometry of their frozen boundaries.

Research progress of neurovascular units involved in ischemic stroke
The brain receives less blood when an ischemic stroke develops, which damages neurons and leads to an increased release of Pro‐inflammatory mediators that activate neurovascular unit (NVU). When the tight junctions are broken and the basement membrane is disrupted by matrix metalloproteinases produced by active endothelial and pericellular cells ...

Free-living amoebae are thought to represent an environmental niche in which amoeba-resistant bacteria may evolve towards pathogenicity. To get more insights into factors playing a role for adaptation to intracellular life, we characterized the ...

Dynamical strategies for obstacle avoidance during Dictyostelium discoideum aggregation: a Multi-agent system model [PDF]
Chemotaxis, the movement of an organism in response to chemical stimuli, is a typical feature of many microbiological systems. In particular, the social amoeba \textit{Disctyostelium discoideum} is widely used as a model organism, but it is not still ...
