Previous work on transposable element distribution in colonizing populations of Drosophila buzzatii revealed a high frequency of occupancy in several chromosomal sites. Two explanatory hypotheses were advanced: the founder hypothesis, by which founder genetic drift was responsible, and the unstable hypothesis that assigns this unusual distribution to bursts of transposition toward some chromoso...

THE IMPORTANCE OF FOLATE Folic acid (vitamin B9, also known as folate) is a water-soluble B vitamin that is essential for numerous physiological systems of the body. Folate derives its name from the Latin word folium, which means leaf, to signify that the main natural source of this vitamin is from leafy vegetables. However, in the modern western diet, the main source of folate is from folate-f...

OBJECTIVE To prepare the PrP specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that can be used for the detection of mammalian prions and study of pathogenesis of prion diseases. METHODS Several BALB/c mice were immunized with recombinant hamster prion protein (HaPrP). Three hybridoma cell lines designated as B7, B9, and B10, secreting monoclonal antibodies against HaPrP, were established by hybridoma te...

Fermented foods prepared traditionally involves natural fermentation by numerous beneficial bacteria. The scientific evidence for the presence of specific probiotic strains in fermented rice gruel is lacking. objective our study to identify lactic acid bacteria involved and evaluate their characteristics. From gruel, Pediococcus pentosaceus strain PRK1 (MT019527) Lactobacillus plantarum PRK7 (M...

Ribosomes from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) possess species-specific ribosomal RNA (rRNA) expansion segments and ribosomal proteins (rProtein). Here, we present the near-atomic structures of the Mtb 50S ribosomal subunit and the complete Mtb 70S ribosome, solved by cryo-electron microscopy. Upon joining of the large and small ribosomal subunits, a 100-nt long expansion segment of the Mtb 23...

Chronic musculoskeletal diseases demonstrate a high prevalence, especially amongst the older population [1]. Diet therapy might have several purposes in the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal diseases. It may play a role in the supression of chronic inflammation and pain. Nutrition might be an aid in improving bone, cartilage structure and function, and in immune modulation as well [2]. Foods...

Interleukin (IL) 11 is a multifunctional cytokine derived from bone marrow stromal cells. To understand the mechanisms by which IL-11 exerts its pleiotropic actions, we have analyzed IL-11-mediated signal transduction pathways in IL-11-dependent B9-TY1, which is a subclone of an IL-6-dependent B-cell hybridoma, B9. IL-11 stimulation of B9-TY1 cells resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of a 97/9...
