A biofilm is any group of microorganisms in which cells stick to each other on a surface. Biofilm bacteria is the bacterial cell communities densely grow and form a layer either on a living or non-lining surface. Sinusit ...
Cancer is a genetic disease; tumor cells differ from their normal progenitors by genetic alterations that affect growth-regulatory genes. There exist 2 classes of such cancer genes: the oncogenes, which function as positive growth regulators, and ...
Fusarium rot caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. gladioli (Fog) is one of the most serious diseases of Gladiolus, both in the field and in bulbs in storage. In order to study the mechanisms of pathogenesis of this fungus, we have transformed Fog wi ...
Globally, there are an estimated 3-5 million cholera cases and 100,000-120,000 deaths due to cholera each year. Vibrio cholerae is the etiologic agent of cholera and is mainly spread through contaminated drinking water. ...
Most species belonging to Aeromonas genus, particularly those associated with human infections, are widely distributed in the environment, especially in freshwater, sewage, marine environments, and drinking water, and ar ...
Bacillus anthracis is a type of bacteria which is usually said as etiologic agent of anthrax, which is a common disease of livestock and occasionally of humans. B. anthracis belongs to the B. cereus group which is the on ...
Severe pneumonia in infants who are HIV-infected is a common problem in many parts of the developing world, especially sub-Saharan Africa. It has emerged that the condition of severe hypoxic pneumonia in early infancy is ...
Asthma could be a condition during which your airways slim and swell and produce mucus secretion. This could build respiration tough and trigger coughing, wheezy and shortness of breath. Asthma cannot be cured; however i ...
A viral disease (or viral infection, or infectious disease) occurs when an organism's body is invaded by pathogenic viruses, and infectious virus particles attach to and enter susceptible cells. As a general rule, DNA viruses replicate within ...
In Wilson's disease, copper isn't eliminated properly and instead accumulates, possibly to a life-threatening level. Symptoms typically begin between the ages of 12 and 23. Symptoms include swelling, fatigue, abdominal pain and uncontrolle ...
Allergen immunotherapy is the repeated administration of allergen extracts to allergic individuals in order to provide long-term relief of symptoms and improvement in quality of life during subsequent natural allergen exposure. Allergen immunother ...
An oncolytic virus is a virus that preferentially infects and kills cancer cells. As the infected cancer cells are destroyed by oncolysis, they release new infectious virus particles or virions to help destroy the remaining tumour. Oncolytic virus ...
Pathogenicity refers to the ability of an organism to cause disease (ie, harm the host). This ability represents a genetic component of the pathogen and the overt damage done to the host is a property of the host-pathogen interactions. Commensals ...
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a type of lymphoma in which cancer originates from a specific type of white blood cells called lymphocytes. Symptoms may include fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Often there will be non-painful enlarged ...
An oncolytic virus is a virus that specially contaminates and executes growth cells. As the tainted disease cells are devastated by lysis, they discharge new irresistible virus particles to help obliterate the remaining tumor. An oncolytic virus i ...
The proliferation assay was set up on a restimulation day for the MBP-specific T cell cultures or on the day of plating for the primary culture. The assay was performed in 96-well plates (Corning, Wilmington, NC) with 8- ...
Suitable plasmids are not yet available for use in filamentous fungi, in which stable transformation is dependent on chromosomal integration.DNA-treated cells are usually plated on agar medium that is selective for the desired type of transformant ...
Archaea are single cell microorganisms having several unique characteristics which differentiate them from bacteria. One of the key features which make archaea distinct from bacteria is the replication process, which is ...
Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer. The immune system helps your body fight infections and other diseases. It is made up of white blood cells and organs and tissues ...
