The dust disk around β Pictoris must be produced by collision or by evaporation of orbiting Kuiper belt-like objects. Here we extend the already proposed Orbiting-EvaporatingBodies (OEB) scenario in which the disk is a gigantic multicometary tail supplied by slowly evaporating bodies like Chiron. We show that the number of these OEBs must be several tens of millions, and that this is consistent...

background: escherichia coli (e. coli) is the most extensively used host for the production of recombinant proteins. however, most of the eukaryotic proteins are typically obtained as insoluble, misfolded inclusion bodies that need solubilization and refolding. reteplase as a highly disulfide-bonded recombinant protein is an example of difficult to express protein in e. coli. methods: in this s...

May-Hegglin is a rare disease characterized by macrothrombocytopenia and presence of Döhle-like bodies in white cells. We present a patient treated with acute myeloid leukemia had pale-blue colored inclusion bodies assuming Döhle in his neutrophils.

Disorder of the gastrointestinal tract of the dairy cattle is common due to indiscriminate feeding behavior. An ingested foreign body by cattle is divided in to two main groups. The first category is foreign bodies of nonmetallic origin and the second category is metallic origin. Entrance and migration of foreign bodies through the body tissue leads to many complications that differ according t...

Protein degradation by basal constitutive autophagy is important to avoid accumulation of polyubiquitinated protein aggregates and development of neurodegenerative diseases. The polyubiquitin-binding protein p62/SQSTM1 is degraded by autophagy. It is found in cellular inclusion bodies together with polyubiquitinated proteins and in cytosolic protein aggregates that accumulate in various chronic...

This is a review of various problems and results on the illumination of convex bodies in the spirit of combinatorial geometry. The topics under review are: history of the Gohberg–Markus–Hadwiger problem on the minimum number of exterior sources illuminating a convex body, including the discussion of its equivalent forms like the minimum number of homothetic copies covering the body; generalizat...

In dermatology practice, it is very common to hear about „Bodies’’, which refer to a pthological structure with a particular features. Most of them are large and can be seen by light microscopy, but there are few very tiny bodies which can only be seen by electron microscopy. Examples for the latter are comma-shaped body, and the worm-shaped body, seen in histiocytoses like benign cephalic hist...

BACKGROUND The formation of protein inclusions is connected to the onset of many human diseases. Human RNA binding proteins containing intrinsically disordered regions with an amino acid composition resembling those of yeast prion domains, like TDP-43 or FUS, are being found to aggregate in different neurodegenerative disorders. The structure of the intracellular inclusions formed by these prot...
