Biostimulants application: A low input cropping management tool for sustainable farming of vegetables
(2021)Biostimulants, are a diverse class of compounds including substances or microorganism which have positive impacts on plant growth, yield and chemical composition as well as boosting effects to biotic and abiotic stress ... -
Bootstrap-based testing approaches for the assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers subject to a limit of detection
(2019)Assessment of the diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers through receiver operating characteristic curve analysis frequently involves a limit of detection imposed by the laboratory analytical system precision. As a consequence, ... -
Characterization and Quantitative Determination of a Diverse Group of Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis NCIB 3610 Antibacterial Peptides
(2021)Five antibacterial peptides produced by Bacillus subtilis NCIB 3610 were purified, quantified, characterized, and identified in the present study. Cell-free extracts were subjected to three purification protocols employing ... -
Collagen from the marine sponges Axinella cannabina and Suberites carnosus: Isolation and morphological, biochemical, and biophysical characterization
(2017)In search of alternative and safer sources of collagen for biomedical applications, the marine demosponges Axinella cannabina and Suberites carnosus, collected from the Aegean and the Ionian Seas, respectively, were ... -
Differential effects of the two amino acid sensing systems, the GCN2 kinase and the mTOR complex 1, on primary human alloreactive CD4+ T-cells
(2016)Amino acid deprivation activates general control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) kinase and inhibits mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), affecting the immune response. In this study, the effects of GCN2 kinase activation or ... -
Efficacy of an AS03 A-adjuvanted split H5N1 influenza vaccine against an antigenically distinct low pathogenic H5N1 virus in pigs
(2012)We used the pig model of influenza to examine the efficacy of an AS03 A-adjuvanted split H5N1 (A/Indonesia/05/2005) vaccine against challenge with a low pathogenic (LP) H5N1 avian influenza (AI) virus (duck/Minnesota/1525/1981) ... -
Expression of human serum albumin (HSA) mRNA in human granulosa cells: Potential correlation of the 95 amino acid long carboxyl terminal of HSA to gonadotrophin surge-attenuating factor
(2006)Introduction: According to previous studies, gonadotrophin surge-attenuating factor (GnSAF), which is assumed to be produced in human granulosa cells, has a homology with the carboxyl terminal of the human serum albumin ... -
Genetic growth potential interacts with nutrition on the ability of mice to cope with Heligmosomoides bakeri infection
(2009)Artificial selection for improved productivity may reduce an animal's ability to cope with pathogens. Here, we used Roslin mice, uniquely divergently selected for high (ROH) and low (ROL) body weight, to assess interactive ... -
Hidden neural networks for transmembrane protein topology prediction
(2021)Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are amongst the most successful methods for predicting protein features in biological sequence analysis. However, there are biological problems where the Markovian assumption is not sufficient ... -
HLA class II peptide-binding-region analysis reveals funneling of polymorphism in action
(2021)Background: HLA-class II proteins hold important roles in key physiological processes. The purpose of this study was to compile all class II alleles reported in human population and investigate patterns in pocket variants ... -
How peritoneal dialysis transforms the peritoneum and vasculature in children with chronic kidney disease—what can we learn for future treatment?
(2022)Children with chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer from inflammation and reactive metabolite-induced stress, which massively accelerates tissue and vascular aging. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the preferred dialysis mode in ... -
Insights into intrauterine growth restriction based on maternal and umbilical cord blood metabolomics
(2021)Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a fetal adverse condition, ascribed by limited oxygen and nutrient supply from the mother to the fetus. Management of IUGR is an ongoing challenge because of its connection with ... -
Isolation and characterisation of a Sphingomonas strain able to degrade the fungicide ortho-phenylphenol
(2016)BACKGROUND: Ortho-phenylphenol (OPP) is a fungicide used in fruit packaging plants for the control of fungal infestations during storage. Its application leads to the production of large wastewater volumes which according ... -
Low complexity regions in the proteins of prokaryotes perform important functional roles and are highly conserved
(2019)We provide the first high-throughput analysis of the properties and functional role of Low Complexity Regions (LCRs) in more than 1500 prokaryotic and phage proteomes. We observe that, contrary to a widespread belief based ... -
MHC class II DRB1 and DQA2 gene polymorphisms in four indigenous breeds of sheep (Ovis aries)
(2016)Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) contains highly polymorphic genes, coding receptors that participate in the immune responses. Information of MHC polymorphism from domestic animals could be used in genetic improvement ... -
Morphological and free amino acid profile variability, as a tool for stock identification among farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss of different origin
(2018)As a tool for stock identification the body morphology and the free amino acid (FAA) profile variability were determined among farmed rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum 1792) from different geographical areas ... -
Nicosulfuron application in agricultural soils drives the selection towards NS-tolerant microorganisms harboring various levels of sensitivity to nicosulfuron
(2016)The action mode of sulfonylurea herbicides is the inhibition of the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) required for the biosynthesis of amino acids valine and isoleucine in plants. However, this enzyme is also present in a ... -
