Current study was conducted to determine prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, ESBL, AmpC and carbapenemase- producers among clinical isolates of Enterobacteriaceae. Three hundred and seven non-duplicative clinical isolates were collected from hospitalized patients in five medical centers in Azerbaijan, Iran. Initial screening for β-lactamase production was performed using disc ...

mo40 low-alloy steels are mostly used to produce industrial components such as crane wheels whichare exposed to abrasive wear. however, during working conditions, their wear resistance is reduced aftera while due to its low hardness. with increasing abrasive wear, the dimensions of components decreaseand they need to be repaired for surface modification. in this regard, hard overlay coatings ar...

It's a translation bonanza. This month's responses to our Cell Systems Call (Cell Systems 1, 307) include four that illuminate principles governing the production of proteins from mRNA.

Leptin controls feeding behavior and insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells. Insulin stimulates the production of leptin, thereby establishing an adipoinsular axis. Earlier we identified leptin receptors on pancreatic beta-cells and showed leptin-mediated inhibition of insulin secretion by activation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels. Here we examine transcriptional effects of leptin on...

Parkinsonism-dementia (PD) of Guam is a neurodegenerative disease with parkinsonism and early-onset Alzheimer-like dementia associated with neurofibrillary tangles composed of hyperphosphorylated microtubule-associated protein, tau. β-N-methylamino-l-alanine (BMAA) has been suspected of being involved in the etiology of PD, but the mechanism by which BMAA leads to tau hyperphosphorylation is no...

Insulin resistance is associated with cardiovascular disease. Impaired insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-mediated signal transduction is a major contributor to insulin resistance. Recently, IRS-1 phosphorylation at serine 307 by stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) has been highlighted as a molecular event that causes insulin resistance. We investigated IRS-1-mediat...
