BACKGROUND: We recently characterized a specific inorganic triphosphatase (PPPase) from Nitrosomonas europaea.This enzyme belongs to the CYTH superfamily of proteins.Many bacterial members of this family are annotated as predicted adenylate cyclases, because one of the founding members is CyaB adenylate cyclase from A.hydrophila.The aim of the pres
Video-mediastinoscopy assisted fish bone extraction and superior Medistinal abscess debridement
Abstract Background Mediastinum abscess caused by sharp esophageal foreign body perforation usually needs surgical treatment, Lamps and the surgical procedures vary according to size of perforation and scope of abscess, etc.For special case with small esophageal mucosal crevasse and focal abscess confined to mediastinum, minimally invasive surgery
Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization, and Expression Analysis of Glutamate Receptor-like Gene (GLR) Family in Sugarcane
The plant glutamate receptor-like gene (GLR) plays a vital role in development, signaling pathways, and in its response to environmental stress.However, the GLR gene family has not been comprehensively and systematically studied in sugarcane.In this work, 43 GLR genes, including 34 in Saccharum spontaneum and 9 in the Saccharum hybrid cultivar R570
From households to urban structures: space representations as engine of dynamics in multi-agent simulations
The major idea of this paper is to simulate the construction of a segregate urban structure by means of spatial representations.To maintain such a project, the model must be quite simple because we wish to simulate and understand processes of production of space, their temporality and their dynamic influence on individual learning of space, rather
Growth Factor Engineering Strategies for Regenerative Medicine Applications
Growth factors Dresses are critical molecules for tissue repair and regeneration.Therefore, recombinant growth factors have raised a lot of hope for regenerative medicine applications.While using growth factors to promote tissue healing has widely shown promising results in pre-clinical settings, their success in the clinic is not a forgone conclus
