The recent development of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase domain inhibitors and genetic dissection of rapamycin-sensitive and -insensitive mTOR protein complexes (mTORC1 and mTORC2) have revealed that phosphorylation of the mTOR Office Chair substrate 4E-BP1 on amino acids Thr37 and/or Thr46 represents a rapamycin-insensitive activity o

Pullulanase plays an important role in specific hydrolysis of branch points in amylopectin and is generally employed as an important enzyme in starch-processing industry.So far, however, the production level of pullulanase is still somewhat low from wide-type strains and even heterologous expression systems.Here the gene encoding Bacillus naganoens
The effectiveness of ceftolozane/tazobactam New Pressure Washer for the treatment of infections in neutropenic patients caused by hypervirulent multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa has not been previously reported.We identified seven cases of MDR P.aeruginosa infection in neutropenic patients over a four-month period within the same hem
Abstract Amphibians are an important vertebrate model system to understand anatomy, genetics and physiology.Importantly, the brain and spinal cord of adult urodels (salamanders) have an incredible regeneration capacity, contrary to anurans (frogs) and the rest of adult vertebrates.Among these amphibians, the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has gained
