Effects of larval exposure to the fungicide pyraclostrobin on the post-embryonic development of Africanized Apis mellifera workers
Among the more than twenty thousand bee species currently described, Apis mellifera stands out for its high economic relevance due to crop pollination.In recent decades, many studies have registered a decline in bee populations associating multiple factors, including pesticides.These molecules can arrive through residues present in the nectar and p
Study on the preferential distribution of acetyl tributyl citrate in poly(lactic) acid-poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) blends
In this work, the preferential distribution of acetyl tributyl citrate plasticiser (ATBC) in poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) PBAT blends has been investigated.Pure plasticised PLA and PBAT blends and their binary blends (PLA/PBAT with 80 wt% of PLA and 20 wt% of PBAT and PBAT/PLA with 80 wt% of PBAT and 20 wt% of PLA
Multiple autoimmune-associated variants confer decreased IL-2R signaling in CD4+ CD25(hi) T cells of type 1 diabetic and multiple sclerosis patients.
IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) signaling is essential for optimal stability and function of CD4(+)CD25(hi)FOXP3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg); a cell type that plays an integral role in maintaining tolerance.Thus, we hypothesized that decreased response to IL-2 may be a common phenotype of subjects who have autoimmune diseases associated with variants in the
Fluorescence anisotropy assays for high throughput screening of compounds binding to lipid II, PBP1b, FtsW and MurJ
Abstract Lipid II precursor and its processing by a flippase and peptidoglycan polymerases are considered key hot spot targets for antibiotics.We have developed a fluorescent anisotropy (FA) assay using a unique and versatile probe (fluorescent lipid II) and monitored direct binding between lipid II and interacting proteins (PBP1b, FtsW and MurJ),
