Ganoderma species are producers of bioactive secondary metabolites and lignin degraders. A few known to be plant pathogens that attack economically important trees. In this study, comparative genomics analysis was conducted on the proteome ten species/strains, focusing proteins have been reported involved in plant-pathogenesis other fungi. Fungal trophic lifestyle prediction these species/strai...

osteoarthritis (oa) a common disease of aged population and one of the leading causes of disability. incidence of knee oa is rising by increasing average age of general population. age, weight, trauma to joint due to repetiting movements in particular squatting and kneeling are common risk factors of knee oa. several factors including cytokines, leptin, and mechanical forces are pathogenic fact...

mirs are 17-25 nucleotide non-coding rnas. these rnas target approximately 80% of protein coding mrnas. mirs control gene expression and altered expression of them affects the development of cancer. mirs can function as tumor suppressor via down-regulation of proto-oncogenes and may function as oncogenes by suppressing tumor suppressors. myeloproliferative neoplasias (formerly known as chronic ...

in the latest articles which were published during 2013-2014, trichomonas vaginalis ( t. vaginalis ) was mentioned as a neglected sexual transmission disease (std), while the exact mechanism of its pathogenesis has not been cleared yet. although trichomonasiasis is easy curable, there is concern that resistance to drug are increasing. this common infection as concerning the important public hea...

the present study is based on the investigation of a soil hyphomyces, paecilomyces lilacinus, an opportunistic bio-control agent, in controlling root-knot nematode meloidogyne javanica on tomato in greenhouse conditions. p. lilacinus, effectively promoted the growth of plants inoculated with m. javanica by suppressing its pathogenesis as root galling by the nematode and egg mass production was ...

Alternaria brassicicola is a successful saprophyte and necrotrophic plant pathogen. Several A. brassicicola genes have been characterized as affecting pathogenesis of Brassica species. To study regulatory mechanisms of pathogenesis, we mined 421 genes in silico encoding putative transcription factors in a machine-annotated, draft genome sequence of A. brassicicola. In this study, targeted gene ...

Recent studies in bacterial pathogenesis reveal common and contrasting mechanisms of pathogen virulence and host resistance in plant and animal diseases. This review presents recent developments in the study of plant and animal pathogenesis, with respect to bacterial colonization and the delivery of effector proteins to the host. Furthermore, host defense responses in both plants and animals ar...
