CD86 is linked to apoptosis in canine histiocytic sarcoma

Immune checkpoints are critical for the regulation of tumor growth and regression.Recently an effect of CD80 and CD86 on tumor regression in canine cutaneous histiocytoma has been described.Further, the expression of MX dynamin like GTPase 1 (mx1) in cancer is linked to immune evasion.Thus, the present study aimed to #7.3 MEDIUM GOLDEN BLOND invest

Impact of Plant-Beneficial Bacterial Inocula on the Resident Bacteriome: Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives

The inoculation of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) as biofertilizers is one of the most efficient and sustainable strategies of rhizosphere manipulation leading to increased plant biomass and yield and improved plant health, as well as the ameliorated nutritional value of fruits and edible seeds.During the last decades, exciting, but heterog

Novel methods to design wild bacteriophages into highly lytic and therapeutic bacteriophages to extensively drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Background: The emergence of multiple drug resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.TB) and extensive drug resistant (XDR) M.TB lay huge burden on TB endemic countries such as Iraq.Objectives: Bacteriophage (phage) therapy can be used as alternative approach to tackle this problem.Patients and methods: Forty isolates of pycnogenol M.TB were cu

The critical role of partially exposed N-terminal valine residue in stabilizing GH10 xylanase from Bacillus sp.NG-27 under poly-extreme conditions.

BACKGROUND: Understanding the mechanisms that govern protein stability under poly-extreme conditions continues to be a major challenge.Xylanase (BSX) from Bacillus sp.NG-27, which has a TIM-barrel structure, shows optimum activity at high temperature and alkaline pH, and is resistant to denaturation by SDS and degradation by proteinase K.A comparat
