Skin microbiota: a source of disease or defence?
, 2008 Microbes found on the skin are usually regarded as pathogens, potential pathogens or innocuous symbiotic organisms. Advances in microbiology and immunology are revising our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of microbial virulence and the specific

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Targeted therapy was evaluated in SHH medulloblastoma using neuroepithelial stem cell (NES) and tumor‐derived NES‐like (tNES) models in 2D monolayers and 3D spheroids. PI3K, AKT, and CDK4/6 inhibitors had minimal effects in NES but markedly reduced viability and growth and induced apoptosis in tNES cells, revealing distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Nitrification-denitrification in WSP: a mechanism for permanent nitrogen removal in maturation ponds [PDF]
, 2009 A pilot-scale primary maturation pond was spiked with 15N-labelled ammonia (15NH4Cl) and 15N labelled nitrite (Na15NO2), in order to improve current understanding of the dynamics of inorganic nitrogen transformations and removal in WSP systems.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Here, we demonstrate that HS1BP3 interacts with Cortactin through a proline‐rich region (PRR3.1) and show that this interaction, and HS1BP3 itself, promote cancer cell proliferation and invasion. Inhibition of this interaction leads to build‐up of TKS5 in multivesicular endosomes and altered secretion of CD63 and CD9, providing an explanation for the ...

, 2015 Background Nucleic acid (NA) amplification techniques are now commonly used to diagnose and manage patients with infectious diseases. The growth in the number of Food and Drug Administration–approved test kits and analyte-specific reagents has facilitated the use of this technology in clinical laboratories.

An outer membrane determinant for RNA phage genome entry in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
iScienceSummary: Host range of a phage is determined at the various life cycle stages during phage infection. We reported the limited phage-receptor interaction between the RNA phage, PP7 and its host Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains: PAO1 has susceptible type IV ...

Brucella Melitensis As Causative Agent for Neck Abscess in an Endemic Area
Balkan Medical Journal, 2017 Background: Brucellosis, a zoonotic disease, is very common in the Mediterranean basin and a major concern in livestock areas. We present a rare case of a Brucella-caused abscess in the neck of a stock-breeder in an endemic Greek area. Case Report: A 39-
