Cell Fusion: An EFFicient Sculptor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mutations in the eff-1 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans, which prevent all cell-cell fusions in the nematode's epidermis, have revealed developmental roles for cell fusion. An extracellular fusogen-like domain in EFF-1 suggests it might direct the fusion of lipid bilayers.

LytU-SH3b fusion protein as a novel and efficient enzybiotic against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a challenging infectious agent worldwide. The ever growing antibiotic resistance has made the researchers to look for new anti-staphylococcal agents. Autolysins are staphylococcal enzymes that lyse bacterial cell wall for cell division. Autolysins can be used as novel enzybiotics (enzymes have antibiotic effects) for staphylococcal ...
متن کاملCommunity Empowerment through Ergonomics Training with Local Wisdom Oriented to Improve Quality of Sculptor Health in the Peliatan Village, Ubud, Gianyar, Bali-indonesia
Background: Until recently, data applied for reference of Balinese workers in their work stations and processes, including anthropometric data still applying secondary data source from literature review. This was probably inappropriate due to different size, since the literature data generally on the basis of western size of anthropometry. The objective of this research, therefore, was to estab...
متن کاملAutomated tracing of filaments in 3D electron tomography reconstructions using Sculptor and Situs.
The molecular graphics program Sculptor and the command-line suite Situs are software packages for the integration of biophysical data across spatial resolution scales. Herein, we provide an overview of recently developed tools relevant to cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), with an emphasis on functionality supported by Situs 2.7.1 and Sculptor 2.1.1. We describe a work flow for automatically ...
متن کاملAn Internal Second Parameter Problem in the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
We present BV photometry of the Sculptor dwarf galaxy to V = 22. These data give evidence for a bimodality in Sculptor’s metallicity distribution based on a discontinuity in the luminosities of horizontal branch (HB) stars and by the presence of two distinct red giant branch (RGB) bumps. A consistent picture of the evolved stars in Sculptor is given by the presence of (1) a metal-poor populatio...
متن کاملOptimizing Dendritic Cell Preparation for Fusion with Melanoma Cells
Background: Fusion of dendritic cells (DCs) with melanoma cells could reinforce the antigenicity of tumors as a strategy for the treatment of malignant melanoma. However, the insufficient quantity of DCs and the low fusion efficiency limits the development of such approach. Objective: To define the dosage of the stimulating factors as well as the induction condition for the optimal DCs prepara...
