Cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR), an enzyme central to the lignin biosynthetic pathway, represents a promising biotechnological target to reduce lignin levels and to improve the commercial viability of lignocellulosic biomass. However, silencing of the CCR gene results in considerable flux changes of the general and monolignol-specific lignin pathways, ultimately leading to the accumulation of var...

The Coordinated Clusters Representation (CCR) is a texture descriptor based on the probability of occurrence of elementary binary patterns (texels) defined over a square window. The CCR was originally proposed for binary textures, and it was later extended to grayscale texture images through global image thresholding. The required global binarization is a critical point of the method, since thi...

Enhanced formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide (O2*-), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) may result in either apoptosis or other forms of cell death. Here, we studied the mechanisms underlying activation of the apoptotic machinery by ROS. Exposure of permeabilized HepG2 cells to O2*- elicited rapid and massive cytochrome c release (CCR), whereas H2O2 failed to induce any release. Bo...

The paper contains a detailed computation about the algebra of canonical commutation relation, the representation of the Weyl unitaries, the quasi-free states and their von Neumann entropy. The Markov triplet is de ned by constant entropy increase. The Markov property of a quasi-free state is described by the representing block matrix. The proof is based on results on the statistical su ciency ...

A total of 50 patients (male-28, female-22), In diferent stages of chronic renal failure (Mild, CCR 30-50ml/min/1.73mn=17; Moderate, CCR 10 to 29 ml/ min /1.73 m2, n=15and Severe, CCR < 10 ml / min /1.73 m2, n=18) and 23 healthy controls (CCR 60 to 120 ml / min /1.73 m2, male 11, female -12) were studied in the Department of Nephrology BSMMU, Dhaka to see the alteration of divalent ion metaboli...

Phosphorylated phosphoinositide lipids (PPIs) are low-abundance signaling molecules that control signal transduction pathways and are necessary for cellular homeostasis. The PPI phosphatidylinositol (3,5)-bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P2) is essential in multiple organ systems. PI(3,5)P2 is generated from PI3P by the conserved lipid kinase Fab1/PIKfyve. Defects in the dynamic regulation of PI(3,5)P2 are...

cis-Diammine(1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato)platinum (CBDCA) is a nonnephrotoxic but myelosuppressive analogue of cisplatin (DDP) with greatly reduced protein binding and greatly increased renal excretion. Thus, CBDCA might produce undue toxicity in patients with decreased renal function. Twenty-two patients [14 females and 8 males; median age, 66 (range, 35 to 83); median Karnofsky performance s...

Light induces anthocyanin accumulation and hence decides the coloration of apple fruit. It also plays a key role in regulating biosynthesis other secondary metabolites. However, crosstalk between lignin metabolism during light induction, which affects edible quality visual fruit, respectively, have rarely been characterized. In this study, we identified functionally elucidated roles miR7125 its...

Abstract Escherichia coli has been used as a host to construct the cell factory for biobased production of chemicals from renewable feedstocks. Because galactose is found in marine biomass major component, strategy utilization E. gained more attention. Although and glucose co-fermentation reported using engineered strain, few reports have covered fermentation supplemented with sole carbon sourc...

Introducción: el cáncer colorrectal (CCR) es tercer con mayor incidencia en hombres y mujeres la República Dominicana. Se ha encontrado una elevada entre presencia sangre oculta heces (SOH) expresión de CCR, al igual que para pólipos colorrectales. El propósito este estudio fue identificar datos tangibles demostraran uso esta prueba como herramienta costo-efectiva capaz detectar lesiones premal...
