Intra-Chromosomal Potentials from Nucleosomal Positioning Data [PDF]
No systematic method exists to derive intra-chromosomal potentials between nucleosomes along a chromosome consistently across a given genome. Such potentials can yield information on nucleosomal ordering, thermal as well as mechanical properties of chromosomes.

Candida albicans biofilm heterogeneity does not influence denture stomatitis but strongly influences denture cleansing capacity [PDF]
Approximately 20 % of the UK population wear some form of denture prosthesis, resulting in denture stomatitis in half of these individuals. Candida albicans is primarily attributed as the causative agent, due to its biofilm -forming ability.

(a) Mannosyl compounds obtained from microbial fermentation exhibited immunomodulatory activities in the innate and adaptive immune systems. (b) The immunomodulatory activity of mannosyl compounds on RAW 264.7 cells mainly functioned through mitogen‐activated protein kinases and MyD88‐dependent signaling pathways.

Mucosal biofilms of Candida albicans [PDF]
Biofilms are microbial communities that form on surfaces and are embedded in an extracellular matrix. C. albicans forms pathogenic mucosal biofilms that are evoked by changes in host immunity or mucosal ecology. Mucosal surfaces are inhabited by many microbial species; hence these biofilms are polymicrobial.

Intraspecific Comparative Genomics of Candida albicans Mitochondria Reveals Non-Coding Regions Under Neutral Evolution [PDF]
The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans causes serious hematogenic hospital acquired candidiasis with worldwide impact on public health. Because of its importance as a nosocomial etiologic agent, C. albicans genome has been largely studied to identify intraspecific variation and several typing methods have been developed to distinguish ...

Dynamic Transcript Profiling of Candida Albicans Infection in Zebrafish: a Pathogen-Host Interaction Study [PDF]
Candida albicans is responsible for a number of life-threatening infections and causes considerable morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients. Previous studies of C. albicans pathogenesis have suggested several steps must occur before virulent infection, including early adhesion, invasion, and late tissue damage. However, the mechanism that

The evolution of the GALactose utilization pathway in budding yeasts [PDF]
The Leloir galactose utilization or GAL pathway of budding yeasts, including that of the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the opportunistic human pathogen Candida albicans, breaks down the sugar galactose for energy and biomass production. The GAL pathway has long served as a model system for understanding how eukaryotic metabolic pathways ...
