Superparamagnetic nanoparticles have become an important tool in biomedicine. Their biocompatibility, controllable small size, and magnetic properties allow manipulation with an external magnetic field for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Recently, the magnetically-induced motion of superparamagnetic nanoparticles has been investigated as a new source of imaging contrast. In magneto-motive imaging, an external, time-varying …

Development of an Immortalized Porcine Fibroblast Cell Panel With Different Swine Leukocyte Antigen Genotypes

Immortalized cell lines are valuable resources to expand the molecular characterization of major histocompatibility complex genes and their presented antigens. We generated a panel of immortalized cell lines by transfecting human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) into primary fibroblast cells prepared from ear, fetal, and lung tissues of 10 pigs from five breeds and successfully cultured …

Data of selected set of rice accessions at the germination stage under cold stress

Hungary is northernmost temperate rice growing country in Europe. One of the main limiting factors is low temperature, especially at germination and seedling developmental stages. In early developmental stages, low temperature can impair and delay germination, as well as have negative impacts on seedling growth, causing poor stand establishment and non-uniform crop maturation [1]. Temperatures …

Social Media, Body Image and Resistance Training: Creating the Perfect ‘Me’ with Dietary Supplements, Anabolic Steroids and SARM’s

Few studies have assessed the use of dietary supplements, anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) and selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM) in male gym users. The comparison of physical appearance with others on social media and the exposure to fitness-related content on social media (i.e., image-centric social media use) may have a profound role in using these …

Recombinant Kunitz-type Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor (r-KSTI)

Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By Casey

Kunitz-type trypsin inhibitors bind to the active pocket of trypsin causing its inhibition. Plant Kunitz-type inhibitors are thought to be important in defense, especially against insect pests. From sequence analysis of various Kunitz-type inhibitors from plants, we identified CaTI2 from chickpea as a unique variant lacking the functionally important arginine residue corresponding to the soybean …

Guideline recommendations and antimicrobial resistance: the need for a change.

Leave a Comment / Guideline recommendations and antimicrobial resistance: the need for a change., Uncategorized / By Casey

OBJECTIVEantimicrobial resistance has become a global burden of inappropriate use of antimicrobials is an important contributing factor. Any decisions on the selection of antibiotic use should take into account the effect on antimicrobial resistance. The purpose of this study was to assess the extent to which the guidelines prescribe antibiotic resistance patterns have been considered …

Fast and accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) is the key to managing the disease and to control and prevent transmission. Many established diagnostic methods suffer from low sensitivity or delays in timely results and inadequate for the rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in a clinical sample of pulmonary and extra-pulmonary. This study examines whether …
