Oestrogen receptor protein (ER) was detected in 9 of 11 samples of malignant breast tissue and 8 of 9 samples of normal breast tissue. Levels of cytosolic ER (ERJ) in malignant breast were 21-1102 fmol mgsoluble protein (Kd1.8x 10-9-3.1 x 10-8moll-1) and those of nucleosolic ER (ERj), 13-526fmolmg-' soluble protein (Kd 2.1 x 10-9-1.4 x 10 8mol '1). In normal breast tissue ERC levels were 33-640...

The work aimed to present method obtaining snail slime, analyze its qualitative quantitative composition properties based on literature data. This raw material, addition antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiviral anticancer pr...

Cu electrorefining using a low-grade copper anode is desirable from the standpoint of electric power savings. electrolysis was carried out in an unagitated sulfate solution with anode, and effect impurity ions additives on passivation investigated. The time when firstly occurs shortened significantly containing 0.596 mol·dm−3 Ni2+ as somewhat As5+(0.053 mol·dm−3) or Bi3+(0.0005 ions. Sn2+(0.000...

Andrew Adamatzky: Simulating strange attraction of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum to herbal tablets.

When agitated, Atlantic hagfish (Myxine glutinosa) produce large quantities of slime that consists of hydrated bundles of protein filaments and membrane-bound mucin vesicles from numerous slime glands. When the slime exudate contacts seawater, the thread bundles unravel and the mucin vesicles swell and rupture. Little is known about the mechanisms of vesicle rupture in seawater and stabilizatio...

Specimens collected from sweet potato plants with slime mold symptoms in fields in Daejeon, Korea were examined. Two species of Myxomycetes, Fuligo septica and Stemonitis herbatica were identified based on their morphological characteristics. This is the first report that the two species of Myxomycetes cause slime mold of sweet potato in Korea.

BACKGROUND Staphylococcus aureus is associated with chronic mastitis in cattle, and disease manifestation is usually refractory to antibiotic therapy. Biofilm production is a key element of S. aureus pathogenesis and may contribute to the treatment failure that is consistently reported by veterinarians. Minas Gerais State is the largest milk-producing state in Brazil, and the characterization o...

The aim of this study is to determine antibiotic resistance patterns and slime production characteristics of coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CoNS) caused nosocomial bacteremia. A total of 200 CoNS strains were isolated from blood samples of patients with true bacteremia who were hospitalized in intensive care units and in other departments of Istanbul University Cerrahpasa Medical Hospital be...
