Transcriptome analysis of granulation tissue from periodontal osseous defects
Abstract Background Granulation tissue is routinely discarded in periodontal surgical procedures, but few studies have characterized it. The present study aimed to compare global gene expression in granulation tissue derived from different types of periodontal osseous defects.

Counting glomeruli in human kidney specimens using ex vivo MRI without contrast agents
Abstract Purpose The total number of glomeruli is an important indicator of kidney function and susceptibility to disease. Glomeruli, however, are difficult to image using MRI without contrast enhancement. For this reason, previous studies have used cationic ferritin as a contrast agent to detect glomeruli in ex vivo and in vivo perfused kidneys.

Changes in the gene expression programs of renal mesangial cells during diabetic nephropathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Diabetic nephropathy is the leading cause of end stage renal disease. All three cell types of the glomerulus, podocytes, endothelial cells and mesangial cells, play important roles in diabetic nephropathy.

Beyond FimH: Diversity and Relevance of Carbohydrate‐Binding Fimbrial Proteins in Escherichia coli
This review discusses fimbrial lectins found in Escherichia coli (E. coli) other than FimH, which could be targeted to treat E. coli pathogenicity as an alternative to antibiotic treatment. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is responsible for multiple diseases in humans and animals.

BacS: An Abundant Bacteroid Protein in \u3cem\u3eRhizobium etli\u3c/em\u3e Whose Expression Ex Planta Requires \u3cem\u3enifA\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Rhizobium etli CFN42 bacteroids from bean nodules possessed an abundant 16-kDa protein (BacS) that was found in the membrane pellet after cell disruption. This protein was not detected in bacteria cultured in tryptone-yeast extract.

TRYPANOSOMA-CRUZI TRANS-SIALIDASE and NEURAMINIDASE ACTIVITIES CAN BE MEDIATED BY the SAME ENZYMES [PDF]
Trans-sialidase and neuraminidase activities have been detected on the surface membrane of trypomastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi, and both have been implicated in the parasite's invasion of host cells.

This study highlights comparative proteomic and morphological analyses of HMC3 and C20 microglial cell lines under baseline and inflammatory stimuli (LPS and IFN‐γ). Despite a 76.6% similarity in proteins, unstimulated HMC3 showed a transcriptional cell protein profile, whereas unstimulated C20 had a cell protein profile associated with the immune ...

Erythrocyte glycophorins as receptors for Plasmodium merozoites
Glycophorins are heavily glycosylated sialoglycoproteins of human and animal erythrocytes. In humans, there are four glycophorins: A, B, C and D. Glycophorins play an important role in the invasion of red blood cells (RBCs) by malaria parasites, which ...
