Fungal hyphae are among the most highly polarized cells. Hyphal polarized
growth is supported by tip-directed transport of secretory vesicles, which accumulate temporarily
in a stratified manner in an apical vesicle cluster, the Spitzenkörper. The exocyst complex
is required for tethering of secretory vesicles to the apical plasma membrane. We...

Analysis of stochastic models of networks is quite important in light of
the huge influx of network data in social, information and bio sciences, but
a proper statistical analysis of features of different stochastic models of networks
is still underway.We propose bootstrap subsampling methods for finding
empirical distribution of count...

Connectivity models using empirically-derived
landscape resistance maps can predict potential
linkages among fragmented animal and plant populations.
However, such models have rarely been used to
guide systematic decision-making, such as identifying
the most important habitat patches and dispersal corridors
to protect or restore in order to maximize regional
connectivity. Combining...

The atmospheric flux of methane from the oceans is largely mitigated through microbially
mediated sulphate-coupled methane oxidation, resulting in the precipitation of authigenic
carbonates. Deep-sea carbonates are common around active and palaeo-methane seepage,
and have primarily been viewed as passive recorders of methane oxidation; their role as active
and unique...

Vibrio cholerae, an etiological agent of cholera, circulates between aquatic reservoirs and the human gastrointestinal tract. The
type II secretion (T2S) system plays a pivotal role in both stages of the lifestyle by exporting multiple proteins, including cholera
toxin. Here, we studied the kinetics of expression of genes encoding the...

BACKGROUND: After 2 decades of focused efforts to eradicate polio, the impact of eradication activities on health
systems continues to be controversial. This study evaluated the impact of polio eradication activities on routine immunization
(RI) and primary healthcare (PHC).
METHODS: Quantitative analysis assessed the effects of polio eradication campaigns on...

The Impact of Polio Eradication on Routine
A major issue in non-inferiority trials is the controversial assumption of constancy,
namely that the active control has the same effect relative to placebo as in previous studies
comparing the active control with placebo. The constancy assumption is often in doubt, which
has motivated various methods that ‘discount’ the control...

SCOPE: Aim of the study was to identify and monitor metabolite markers of dry bean consumption
in parallel human and mouse studies that each had shown chemopreventive effects of dry
bean consumption on colorectal neoplasia risk.
METHODS and RESULTS: Using LC/mass spectroscopy ± ESI and GC/mass spectroscopy, serum
metabolites of...

Toxoplasma gondii, the most common parasitic infection of human brain and eye, persists across lifetimes, can progressively damage sight, and is currently incurable. New, curative medicines are needed urgently. Herein, we develop novel models to facilitate drug development: EGS strain T. gondii forms cysts in vitro that induce oocysts in...
