Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Bacterial Persisters

All bacteria form persisters, cells that are multidrug tolerant and therefore able to survive antibiotic treatment. Due to the low frequencies of persisters in growing bacterial cultures and the complex underlying molecular mechanisms, the phenomenon has been challenging to study. However, recent technological advances in microfluidics and reporter genes have improved this scenario. Here, we su...

Molecular mechanisms of bacterial periplasmic transport systems.

workers (Dalbadie-McFarland et al., 1982). M 13 derivatives have the advantage of ease of preparation of singlestranded substrate for the priming reaction. However, insofar as plasmids may be nicked and gapped under the appropriate conditions, single-stranded regions of genes cloned in plasmids can also be mutagenized using the primer-directed method. The first change we hope to make is a C to ...

Molecular Imaging Using Bioluminescence

Recent progress in the development of non-invasive imaging technologies continues to strengthen the role of molecular imaging in biological research. Small animal imaging with bioluminescence has been validated recently in a variety of research models and have been shown to provide continuous quantitative monitoring of the location(s), magnitude, and time-variation of gene delivery and/or expre...

Molecular Mechanisms of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Introduction: Pregnancy and health is the process in which the egg is fertilized and being able to survive. When pregnancy occurs under some conditions and the fetus is being at risk, it will lead to abortion that occurs involuntarily and spontaneously. Abortions that occur more than two or three times are called recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Various etiological factors involved in RPL, inclu...
