PANGENOMICS ANALYSIS REVEALS DIVERSIFICATION OF ENZYME FAMILIES AND NICHE SPECIALIZATION IN GLOBALLY ABUNDANT SAR202 BACTERIA

Pangenomics Analysis Reveals Diversification of Enzyme Families and Niche Specialization in Globally Abundant SAR202 Bacteria

ABSTRACT It has been hypothesized that the abundant heterotrophic ocean bacterioplankton in the SAR202 clade of the phylum Chloroflexi evolved specialized metabolisms for the oxidation of organic compounds that are resistant to microbial degradation via common metabolic pathways.Expansions of paralogous enzymes were reported and implicated in hypot

Trial Watch: Toll-like receptor agonists in cancer immunotherapy

Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists demonstrate therapeutic promise as immunological adjuvants for tc m350 anticancer immunotherapy.To date, three TLR agonists have been approved by US regulatory agencies for use in cancer patients.Additionally, the potential of hitherto experimental TLR ligands to mediate clinically useful immunostimulatory effects

Intravitreal injection of Huperzine A promotes retinal ganglion cells survival and axonal regeneration after optic nerve crush

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a condition that causes massive katin harold jacket loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and their axonal fibers, leading to visual insufficiency.Several intrinsic and external factors can limit the regenerative ability of RGC after TON, subsequently resulting in RGC death.Hence, it is important to investigate a
