Methylprednisolone Promotes Survival in Macrophages through NF-κB/DUSP1 Pathway.

Background: () is the causative agent of tuberculosis. As an important component of host immunity, macrophages are not only the first line of defense against but also the parasitic site of in the host. Glucocorticoids can cause immunosuppression, which is considered to be one of the major risk factors for active tuberculosis, but the mechanism is unclear.

The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Japanese buttercup Thunb.

is an important medicinal herb widely used in East Asia. In this study, we report the first complete chloroplast genome sequence of using next-generation sequencing technology. The chloroplast genome size of was 156,981 bp.
