Effects of Signal Peptide and Chaperone Co-Expression on Heterologous Protein Production in .

Various host systems have been employed to increase the yield of recombinant proteins. However, some recombinant proteins were successfully produced at high yields but with no functional activities. To achieve both high protein yield and high activities, molecular biological strategies have been continuously developed.

Infectious Disease Modeling with Socio-Viral Behavioral Aspects-Lessons Learned from the Spread of SARS-CoV-2 in a University.

When it comes to understanding the spread of COVID-19, recent studies have shown that pathogens can be transmitted in two ways: direct contact and airborne pathogens. While the former is strongly related to the distancing behavior of people in society, the latter are associated with the length of the period in which the airborne pathogens remain active. Considering those facts, we constructed a compartmental model with a time-dependent transmission rate that incorporates the two sources of infection.

Stroke mortality variations in South-East Asia: empirical evidence from the field.

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of death in Asia; however, many estimates of stroke mortality are based on epidemiological models rather than empirical data. Since 2005, initiatives have been undertaken in a number of Asian countries to strengthen and analyse vital registration data. This has increased the availability of empirical data on stroke mortality.

Tuberculosis mortality differentials in Indonesia during 2007-2008: evidence for health policy and monitoring.

Background: Indonesia bears the third highest tuberculosis (TB) burden in the world. Current mortality estimates are based on notification and case fatality rates derived from the National TB Control Programme.

Objective: To report TB mortality measures for 2007-2008 based on death registration systems in selected populations in five provinces of Indonesia.
