Mediator is a gigantic multiprotein complex required for transcription of almost all the protein coding genes. In this report, we have analyzed the transcript abundance of 31 Med genes in different tissues of Arabidopsis. Our analysis revealed the tissue specific differential expression profile of many Med subunit genes suggesting they might be contributing in the formation, maturation or function of that specific tissue. Moreover, we also found increase or decrease in the expression level of several Med subunits during the same duration of specific processes (for example flowering) indicating probable enrichment of a particular arrangement of selected subunits during that process. Thus, this study suggests that not only specific Med subunits have functional relevance in specific processes, but specific arrangements of Med subunits might also play significant role in some processes in Arabidopsis or other plants.

The pathogenesis of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension may be multifactorial and requires further studies. We explored alterations in pulmonary artery endothelial cells under the hypoxic and elevated interleukin-17 conditions that are commonly present in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. We measured the serum interleukin-17 levels in 10 chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients and 10 healthy control persons.

Introduction: Recurrent opportunistic infections are particularly common in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, these opportunistic infections have also been reported in HIV-negative patients, especially those with primary immunodeficiency disorder (PID), a condition that involves a large heterogeneous group of disorders arising from defects in immune system development and/or function.
Case: Here, we report a very rare case of recurrent opportunistic infections in a non-HIV-infected patient combined with mutations in complement component C6 and nuclear factor kB subunit 1 ().

Objectives: In Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates, emerging meropenem resistance beyond imipenem resistance has become a problem. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the in vivo acquisition of antimicrobial resistance in fluoroquinolone- and carbapenem-resistant P. aeruginosa clinical isolates, the underlying molecular mechanisms, and exposure to antimicrobial agents.

Introduction: Nakaseomyces glabratus is considered a high priority of attention according to WHO, and also is an important yeast species due to its high rate of intrinsic/acquired resistance against fluconazole. This study aimed at the possible mechanisms of action of thymol, as the promising new antifungal agent, in N. glabratus.
