During tissue homeostasis, normal stem cells self-renew and repopulate the diverse cell types found within the tissue via a series of carefully controlled symmetric and asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs). The notion that solid tumors comprise a subset of cancer stem cells (CSCs) with dysregulated self-renewal and excessive symmetric cell divisions has led to numerous studies aimed to elucidate th...

Certain plant growth promoting bacteria can protect associated plants from harmful effects of salinity. We report the isolation and characterization of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase bacterium Bacillus licheniformis HSW-16 capable of ameliorating salt (NaCl) stress in wheat plants. The bacterium was isolated from the water of Sambhar salt lake, Rajasthan, India. The prese...

Computer telephony integration (CTI) is a term to which many are becoming accustomed. It encompasses an entire industry, devoted to the closer integration of telephony systems with computer-control devices, as well as an everexpanding range of applications. At the forefront of this industry are innovative products, built using hardware able to terminate digital telephony tier 1 (T1) and E1 (T1 ...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence and annotation of plant growth promoting rhizobacterium Enterobacter cloacae SBP-8 isolated from the rhizosphere of Sorghum bicolor L. growing in desert region of Rajasthan, India. From the genome sequences, we identified the genes encoding plant growth promoting properties such as 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (AcdS), phosphate solubilisa...

objective(s): the aim of this study was to investigate the methylation status and mrna expression levels of p15, death-associated protein kinase (dapk), and suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (socs1) genes in multiple myeloma (mm). materials and methods: the bone marrow samples of 54 mm patients were collected and the methylation status of the p15, dapk, and socs1 gene promoter regions was dete...

conclusions some results of the correlation coefficients are not the same with visualization. the reason may be due to the small number of data. materials and methods in the foundation-application study, we constructed two-way gene networks using nonparametric methods, such as spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and blomqvist’s measure, and compared them with pearson’s correlation coefficie...

Short chain (SCAD), medium chain (MCAD), and long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (LCAD) catalyze the first step of fatty acid oxidation, while isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase (IVD) is involved in leucine oxidation. They are homologous flavoproteins belonging to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACD) family. Electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) serves as an obligatory electron acceptor for these reactions...
