Human Microbiome
Humans are almost identical in their genetic pattern, but the slight differences in our DNA lead to remarkable phenotypic variation among the human population. There are a variety of microbial communities and their genes (microbiomes) in the human body that play an essential role in human health and disease. The microbes inhabiting our bodies is quite a bit more variable, with only a third of i...
متن کاملFungal biofilm inhibitors from a human oral microbiome-derived bacterium.
The human mouth is home to a rich assortment of native and transient microorganisms. One of the commonly encountered bacterial species, Streptococcus mutans, was shown to generate the novel hybrid polyketide-nonribosomal peptide metabolite mutanobactin A (1). We have characterized three new analogues, mutanobactins B-D (2-4), and subjected these compounds to further biomedical evaluation. Metab...

متن کاملHuman uroplakin Ib in ocular surface epithelium.
PURPOSE To investigate the expression and localization of the human gene encoding uroplakin Ib in ocular surface epithelium. METHODS The full-length cDNA of human uroplakin Ib was isolated from a cDNA library of human corneal epithelium, and the expression of uroplakin Ib in various tissues was examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In cornea and conjunctiva, th...
متن کاملCortisol Biosynthesis in the Human Ocular Surface Innate Immune Response
Innate immune responses have a critical role in regulating sight-threatening ocular surface (OcS) inflammation. While glucocorticoids (GCs) are frequently used to limit tissue damage, the role of intracrine GC (cortisol) bioavailability via 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) in OcS defense, remains unresolved. We found that primary human corneal epithelial cells (PHCEC), fib...
