ELUCIDATING COLORECTAL CANCER-ASSOCIATED BACTERIA THROUGH PROFILING OF MINIMALLY PERTURBED TISSUE-ASSOCIATED MICROBIOTA

Elucidating colorectal cancer-associated bacteria through profiling of minimally perturbed tissue-associated microbiota

Sequencing-based interrogation of gut microbiota is a valuable approach for detecting microbes associated with colorectal cancer (CRC); however, such studies are often confounded by the effect of bowel preparation.In this study, we evaluated the viability of identifying CRC-associated mucosal bacteria through centimeter-scale profiling of the micro

Progressive Upregulation of Oxidative Metabolism Facilitates Plasmablast Differentiation to a T-Independent Antigen

Summary: lorenametaute.com Transitioning from a metabolically quiescent naive B cell to an antibody-secreting plasmablast requires division-dependent cellular differentiation.Though cell division demands significant ATP and metabolites, the metabolic processes used for ATP synthesis during plasmablast formation are not well described.Here, the meta

The use of light-transparent acetate sheet to measure canopy height of marandu palisadegrass: the influence of development stage and sward height

The use of light-transparent acetate sheet (LAS) may generate variations in the height measured in the sward.However, we compared the use or non-use of LAS to measure the average sward height of marandu palisadegrass (Urochloa brizantha syn.Brachiaria brizantha cv.Marandu) pastures.In the first experiment, the methods were applied in pastures with
