Variably Protease‐Sensitive Prionopathy: Two New Cases With Motor Neuron‐Dementia Syndrome
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We describe two patients with variably protease‐sensitive prionopathy (VPSPr) who developed progressive upper motor neuron symptoms, insomnia, behavioral and cognitive decline, compatible with primary lateral sclerosis associated with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 The capacity of halophiles to thrive in extreme hypersaline habitats derives partly from the tight regulation of ion homeostasis, the salt-dependent adjustment of plasma membrane fluidity, and the increased capability to manage oxidative stress ...

Recent lateral gene transfer from Pasteurella multocida into Haemophilus influenzae [PDF]
, 2005 only availableHaemophilus influenzae is a gram-negative bacterium that exclusively colonizes humans. Nonencapsulated strains of the bacterium are found in the upper respiratory tract of healthy humans, but can also cause the respiratory diseases otitis ...

Genome characterization and population genetic structure of the zoonotic pathogen, streptococcus canis [PDF]
, 2012 Background - Streptococcus canis is an important opportunistic pathogen of dogs and cats that can also infect a wide range of additional mammals including cows where it can cause mastitis. It is also an emerging human pathogen.

A Bayesian Method for Analyzing Lateral Gene Transfer [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2014 Lateral gene transfer (LGT)--which transfers DNA between two non-vertically related individuals belonging to the same or different species--is recognized as a major force in prokaryotic evolution, and evidence of its impact on eukaryotic evolution is ever increasing.

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The article explores the discovery of unusually large, ring‐shaped ESCRT protein structures formed by immune and stromal cells. It investigates their formation, composition, and potential roles in immune synapse formation. The findings challenge assumptions about their function in immunological synapses, suggesting an exclusive role in maintaining ...

Cultural replication and microbial evolution [PDF]
, 2014 The aim of this paper is to argue that cultural evolution is in many ways much more similar to microbial than to macrobial biological evolution.

Modeling, Simulation and Application of Bacterial Transduction in Genetic Algorithms [PDF]
, 2009 At present, all methods in Evolutionary Computation are bioinspired in the fundamental principles of neo-Darwinism as well as on a vertical gene transfer. Thus, on a mechanism in which an organism receives genetic material from its ancestor.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The first cryo‐EM visualization and quantification of oriented Photosystem I (PSI) on single‐layer graphene is reported. Domain‐specific covalent anchoring of PSI, with the reducing side of the biophotocatalyst toward graphene, promotes three‐fold higher anodic photocurrent generation compared to a randomly physisorbed counterpart. This approach allows

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, a platform based on an Extended‐Gate OECT is successfully developed and tailored for the detection of physiologically relevant chloride ion concentrations in artificial eccrine sweat. Leveraging the extended‐gate architecture, a high‐performance OECT based on inkjet‐printed pg2T‐TT is coupled with an inkjet‐printed Ag/AgCl electrode ...
