Absolute quantification of the host-to-parasite DNA ratio in Theileria parva-infected lymphocyte cell lines [PDF]
Theileria parva is a tick-transmitted intracellular apicomplexan pathogen of cattle in sub-Saharan Africa that causes East Coast fever (ECF). ECF is an acute fatal disease that kills over one million cattle annually, imposing a tremendous burden on ...

Metabolomics guides rational development of a simplified cell culture medium for drug screening against Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
n vitro culture methods underpin many experimental approaches to biology and drug discovery. The modification of established cell culture methods to make them more biologically relevant or to optimize growth is traditionally a laborious task.

Human hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase.
A mutant form of human hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRTToronto) was isolated from erythrocytes of a male patient with gout due to a partial deficiency of enzyme activity. The tryptic peptides of HPRTToronto were mapped by reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography in an attempt to define the precise abnormality in its primary

Design of small molecule-responsive microRNAs based on structural requirements for Drosha processing [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are prevalent regulatory RNAs that mediate gene silencing and play key roles in diverse cellular processes. While synthetic RNA-based regulatory systems that integrate regulatory and sensing functions have been demonstrated, the lack ...

Sex‐specific associations of Roseburia with uric acid metabolism and hyperuricemia risk in females
Researchers recruited 623 participants, including 270 females, and used 16S rDNA sequencing to investigate gender differences in hyperuricemia. In healthy females, Roseburia was enriched, positively correlating with estrogen and negatively with uric acid, suggesting it is a potential biomarker affecting uric acid levels in females.

Nucleotide degradation and production of hypoxanthine in some Indian marine and freshwater fishes [PDF]
Changes in nucleotides and production of hypoxanthine in rohu (Labeo rohita), mrigal (Cihhrina mrigala) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio) during storage at 2-4°C were examined. Differences were observed between common carp and others.

Deletion of TSPO resulted in change of metabolomic profile in retinal pigment epithelial cells [PDF]
Age-related macular degeneration is the main cause of vision loss in the aged population worldwide. Drusen, extracellular lesions formed underneath the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, are a clinical feature of AMD and associated with AMD ...
