Objective(s): Pyocyanin is a blue-greenish redox-active pigment, produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with a wide range of biological and biotechnological applications. Pyocyanin biosynthesis is regulated by the quorum-sensing (QS) system in which the expression of QS genes and QS-controlled virulence genes may be affected by serum as a complex medium. In the current study, effects of adult bovi...

Background: The study's objective was to evaluate and compare total serum protein, albumin, thyroid hormones in children with PEM (protein-energy malnutrition) healthy controls. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 served as cases, while an equal number of age gender-matched 4 ml venous blood were taken (3 a plain vial 1 EDTA vial) immediately submitted for further investigation. SPSS so...

Abstract Background Cellular sex has rarely been considered as a biological variable in preclinical research, even when the pathogenesis of diseases with predictable differences is studied. In this perspective, proteomics, and “omics” approaches general, can provide powerful tools to obtain comprehensive cellular maps, thus favoring discovery still unknown sex-biased physio-pathological mechani...

background dermatophytosis is a cutaneous fungal infection with a worldwide occurrence. in dermatophyte infections, the release of keratinocyte cytokines, in the presence of dermatophyte antigens, causes an acute phase response; subsequently, the acute-phase proteins are produced by hepatocytes. mannose–binding lectin (mbl), an acute-phase protein, also acts as a kind of pattern recognition rec...
