The technique used was that of passive hemaglutination of red cells of sheep prepared with glutaraldehyde and sensitized by anti-erythrocyte antibodies. A protein-A was not found in S. epidermidis strains, but was present in 96.3 per cent of 689 strains of S. aureus from human, animal and food origins.

Background: Glioblastoma is the commonest malignant brain tumor and has a very poor prognosis. Reduced expression of the MGMT gene (10q26.3), influenced primarily by the methylation of two differentially methylated regions (DMR1 and DMR2), is associated with a good response to temozolomide treatment.

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and Enamel Matrix Derivatives (EMD) can support the local regenerative events in periodontal defects. There is reason to suggest that PRF and EMD exert part of their activity by targeting the blood-derived cells accumulating in the early wound healing blastema. However, the impact of PRF and EMD on blood cell response remains to be discovered.

An evolved, orthogonal ssDNA generator for targeted hypermutation of multiple genomic loci.

Nucleic Acids Res

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biotechnology, Ministry of Education, School of Biotechnology, Jiangnan University, Wuxi 214122, China.

Achieving targeted hypermutation of specific genomic sequences without affecting other regions remains a key challenge in continuous evolution. To address this, we evolved a T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP) mutant that synthesizes single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) instead of RNA in vivo, while still exclusively recognizing the T7 promoter. By increasing the error rate of the T7 RNAP mutant, it generates mutated ssDNA that recombines with homologous sequences in the genome, leading to targeted genomic hypermutation.

Genetic and nongenetic variation of multiple births in Austrian dual-purpose cows.

JDS Commun

January 2025

Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment, University of Padova, 35020 Legnaro (PD), Italy.

In recent decades, a general increase in multiple birth (MB) rate has been reported in both dairy and dual-purpose cattle breeds. As there is evidence that MB has negative effects on economically important traits in dairy cows, the aims of this study were to (i) investigate environmental and genetic factors affecting MB rate and (ii) assess the impact of MB on productive and nonproductive traits of the Austrian dual-purpose breeds Pinzgauer and Tyrol Grey. The dataset included 99,141 calvings of 33,791 Pinzgauer and 68,454 calvings of 19,244 Tyrol Grey cows recorded from 2000 to 2022.

Activation of the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways is vital in regulating cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and stress response, significantly affecting tumorigenesis and cancer progression. We developed a bioinformatic technique to construct an interactome network-based molecular pathways for genes of interest and quantify their activation levels using high-throughput gene expression data. This study is focused on the p38α, p38β, p38γ, and p38δ kinases, examining their activation levels (PALs) based on transcriptomic data and their associations with survival and drug responsiveness across various cancer types.
