Effects of Sodium Chloride or Calcium Chloride Concentration on the Growth and Survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Model Vegetable Fermentations.

NaCl and CaCl concentrations affected LAB and STEC strains differently. Growth rates at 6% NaCl were reduced for STEC more than LAB in vegetable broth. Extent of growth was reduced for STEC versus LAB for most vegetable fermentations.

The Transcriptional Coactivator TAZ Is a Potent Mediator of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma Tumorigenesis.

Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (aRMS) is a childhood soft tissue sarcoma driven by the signature (P3F) fusion gene. Five-year survival for aRMS is <50%, with no improvement in over 4 decades. Although the transcriptional coactivator TAZ is oncogenic in carcinomas, the role of TAZ in sarcomas is poorly understood.
