BRD7 improves glucose homeostasis independent of IRS proteins
(Bioscientifica, 2023-09-01)
Bromodomain-containing protein 7 (BRD7) has emerged as a player in the regulation of glucose homeostasis. Hepatic BRD7 levels are decreased in obese mice, and the reinstatement of hepatic BRD7 in obese mice has been shown ...
Subolesin expression in response to pathogen infection in ticks
(BioMed Central, 2010-02-19)
Background: Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) are vectors of pathogens worldwide that cause diseases in humans and animals. Ticks and pathogens have co-evolved molecular mechanisms that contribute to their mutual development and ...
Genome of Diuraphis noxia, a global aphid pest of small grains
(BioMed Central, 2015-06-05)
Background: The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia Kurdjumov, is one of the most important pests of small grains throughout the temperate regions of the world. This phytotoxic aphid causes severe systemic damage symptoms ...
Trans-rectal ultrasound-coupled near-infrared optical tomography of the prostate. Part II: Experimental demonstration
(Optica Publishing Group, 2008-10-15)
We demonstrate trans-rectal optical tomography of the prostate using an endo-rectal near-infrared (NIR) applicator integrated with a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) probe. The endo-rectal NIR applicator incorporated a design ...
Feeding soy protein isolate and oils rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids affected mineral balance, but not bone in a rat model of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease
(BioMed Central, 2015-02-10)
Background: Polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a genetic disorder characterized by multiple cysts and renal failure at an early age. In children, kidney disease is often accompanied by disordered mineral metabolism, failure ...
Fine-tuning the space, time, and host distribution of mycobacteria in wildlife
(BioMed Central, 2011-02-02)
Background: We describe the diversity of two kinds of mycobacteria isolates, environmental mycobacteria and Mycobacterium bovis collected from wild boar, fallow deer, red deer and cattle in Donana National Park (DNP, Spain), ...
Sp110 transcription is induced and required by Anaplasma phagocytophilumfor infection of human promyelocytic cells
(BioMed Central, 2007-09-20)
Background: The tick-borne intracellular pathogen, Anaplasma phagocytophilum (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) causes human granulocytic anaplasmosis after infection of polymorphonuclear leucocytes. The human Sp110 gene is ...
Flexible nine-channel photodetector probe facilitated intraspinal multisite transcutaneous photobiomodulation therapy dosimetry in cadaver dogs
(SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics, 2018-01-23)
Noninvasive photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) of spinal cord disease remains speculative due to the lack of evidence for whether photobiomodulatory irradiances can be transcutaneously delivered to the spinal cord under a ...
Toward transduodenal diffuse optical tomography of proximal pancreas
(Optica Publishing Group, 2013-10-10)
We demonstrate the feasibility of diffuse optical tomography (DOT) of the proximal pancreas by using optical applicator channels deployed longitudinally along the exterior surface of a duodenoscope. As the duodenum that ...
Immune responses to influenza D virus in calves previously infected with bovine viral diarrhea virus 2
(MDPI, 2023-12-16)
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) induces immunosuppression and thymus depletion in calves. This study explores the impact of prior BVDV-2 exposure on the subsequent immune response to influenza D virus (IDV). Twenty ...
