BackgroundMounting evidence suggests that increased gut permeability, or leaky gut, and the resulting translocation of pathobionts or their metabolites contributes to the pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.However, the mechanisms underlying the induction of gut leakage remain unclear.In this study, we examined the effect of a treatment wi
Mitochondrial DNA polymorphism in invasive and native populations of Harmonia axyridis
The Asian ladybird beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is one of the most invasive insects in the world.Originally introduced into the USA and Europe for the ANISE biological control of pest insects, it has recently gained the status of an invasive species.There is little data on the differences between invasive and non-
Agrometeorological analysis of the soybean potentiality in an Amazonian environment
The use of crop models that integrate soil, climate, cultivar and management information may broaden the understanding of the interactions between soybean cropping system and local climate variability.This study aimed to analyze the potentiality of soybean in an Amazonian production environment, as well as to determine an optimal sowing window via
The MogR Transcriptional Repressor Regulates Nonhierarchal Expression of Flagellar Motility Genes and Virulence in Listeria monocytogenes.
Flagella are surface structures critical for motility and virulence of many bacterial species.In Listeria monocytogenes, MogR tightly represses expression of flagellin (FlaA) during extracellular growth at 37 degrees C and during intracellular infection.MogR is also required for full virulence in a murine model of infection.Using in vitro and in vi
Strength of tensed and compressed concrete segments in crack spacing under short-term dynamic load
Formation of model describing dynamic straining of reinforced concrete requires taking into account the basic aspects influencing the stress-strain state of structures.Strength of concrete segments in crack spacing HAND CREAM is one of the crucial aspects that affect general strain behavior of reinforced concrete.Experimental results demonstrate si
