Genetic determinants of host tropism in Klebsiella phages [Dataset]
Bacteriophages play key roles in bacterial ecology and evolution and are potential antimicrobials. However, the determinants of phage-host specificity remain elusive.

A Survey of Henipavirus Tropism—Our Current Understanding from a Species/Organ and Cellular Level [PDF]
Henipaviruses are single-stranded RNA viruses that have been shown to be virulent in several species, including humans, pigs, horses, and rodents. Isolated nearly 30 years ago, these viruses have been shown to be of particular concern to public health ...

Tropism-Based Cognition for the Interpretation of Context-Dependent Gestures
The Tropism System Cognitive Architecture provides an intuitive formalism for colonies of agents, either hardware or software. We present a fine-grained implementation of the architecture on a colony of software agents for the interpretation of human ...

Neofregeovská reinterpretácia Traktátu a pojem holého indivídua
In the article “Frege’s Der Gedanke as a Rival Project to Wittgenstein’s Tractatus,” we considered the question of the explication of the concepts of fact and world to be the key difference between these projects.

Tropism-modification strategies for targeted gene delivery using adenoviral vectors [PDF]
Achieving high efficiency, targeted gene delivery with adenoviral vectors is a long-standing goal in the field of clinical gene therapy. To achieve this, platform vectors must combine efficient retargeting strategies with detargeting modifications to ...

Riemannian L-systems: modelling growing forms in curved spaces
In the past 50 years, the formalism of L-systems has been successfully used and developed to model the growth of filamentous and branching biological forms. These simulations take place in classical 2-D or 3-D Euclidean spaces.

Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans and Viral Attachment: True Receptors or Adaptation Bias?
Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) are composed of unbranched, negatively charged heparan sulfate (HS) polysaccharides attached to a variety of cell surface or extracellular matrix proteins.

Sonoselective Transfection of Glioma Endothelium. [PDF]
Delivering non‐viral, gene‐bearing nanoparticles with thiol‐decorated surfaces to gliomas with focused ultrasound yields transfection tropism for endothelial cells. From this platform, “sonoselective” transfection of glioma endothelium is achieved via incorporation of an endothelial cell‐specific promoter.

Coronavirus Spike Protein and Tropism Changes [PDF]
Coronaviruses (CoVs) have a remarkable potential to change tropism. This is particularly illustrated over the last 15 years by the emergence of two zoonotic CoVs, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)- and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS ...
