Breast Cancer Awareness and Uptake of Breast Cancer Screening Services Among Undergraduate Female Students in the Oldest University of Tanzania: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death among women worldwide. Mortality from breast cancer can be reduced through early detection and prevention. Despite the availability of breast cancer screening methods, the uptake of screening services remains very low, especially in low-resource countries like Tanzania.

An oomycete NLP cytolysin forms transient small pores in lipid membranes.

Microbial plant pathogens secrete a range of effector proteins that damage host plants and consequently constrain global food production. Necrosis and ethylene-inducing peptide 1-like proteins (NLPs) are produced by numerous phytopathogenic microbes that cause important crop diseases. Many NLPs are cytolytic, causing cell death and tissue necrosis by disrupting the plant plasma membrane.

A biosynthetic route for polysialylating proteins in Escherichia coli.

Polysialic acid (polySia) is a posttranslational modification found on only a handful of proteins in the central nervous and immune systems. The addition of polySia to therapeutic proteins improves pharmacokinetics and reduces immunogenicity. To date, polysialylation of therapeutic proteins has only been achieved in vitro by chemical or chemoenzymatic strategies.

Evidence for a LOS and a capsular polysaccharide in Capnocytophaga canimorsus.

Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a dog's and cat's oral commensal which can cause fatal human infections upon bites or scratches. Infections mainly start with flu-like symptoms but can rapidly evolve in fatal septicaemia with a mortality as high as 40%. Here we present the discovery of a polysaccharide capsule (CPS) at the surface of C.
