Prolonged survival of venereal parasite in the gastrointestinal tract, bovine fecal extract, and water.

Nowadays, the routine herd diagnosis is usually performed exclusively on bulls, as they remain permanently infected, and prevention and control of transmission are based on identifying infected animals and culling practices. The existence of other forms of transmission and the possible role of pseudocysts or cyst-like structures as resistant forms requires rethinking the current management and control of this parasitic disease in the future in some livestock regions of the world.

The influence of calcium ions (Ca) on the enzymatic hydrolysis of lipopolysaccharide aggregates to liberate free fatty acids (FFA) in aqueous solution.

The chemical environment in aqueous solutions greatly influences the ability of amphiphilic molecules such as lipopolysaccharides (LPS) to aggregate into different structural phases in aqueous solutions. Understanding the substrate's morphology and conditions of aqueous solution that favor both enzymatic activity and the disruption of LPS aggregates are crucial in developing agents that can counteract the new trend of multidrug resistance by gram-negative bacteria. In this study, we developed two LPS morphologies using LPS from as a model to study the hydrolytic response when using a lipase treatment.

Chd4 choreographs self-antigen expression for central immune tolerance.

Autoreactive T cells are eliminated in the thymus to prevent autoimmunity by promiscuous expression of tissue-restricted self-antigens in medullary thymic epithelial cells. This expression is dependent on the transcription factor Fezf2, as well as the transcriptional regulator Aire, but the entire picture of the transcriptional program has been obscure. Here, we found that the chromatin remodeler Chd4, also called Mi-2β, plays a key role in the self-antigen expression in medullary thymic epithelial cells.
