Abstract The discovery of secondary metabolites from marine microorganisms is beset by numerous challenges including difficulties cultivating and subsequently eliciting expression of biosynthetic genes from marine microbes in the laboratory.In this paper, we describe a method of culturing three species from the marine bacterial genus Pseudoalteromo
Modeling Mycobacterium tuberculosis early granuloma formation in experimental human lung tissue
The widely used animal models for tuberculosis (TB) display fundamental differences from human TB.Therefore, a validated model that recapitulates human lung TB is attractive for TB research.Here, we describe a unique method for establishment of TB infection in an experimental human lung tissue model.The model is based on cell lines derived from hum
Multiple Tooth-Rowed Parareptile From the Early Permian of Oklahoma
The Dolese Limestone Quarry near Richards Spur, Oklahoma includes an elaborate system of caves which have been infilled with early 5326058hx Permian fossil rich sediments.In operation for more than a century, the quarry yielded vast numbers of disarticulated skeletal elements of the most diverse assemblage of fully terrestrial tetrapods from the Pa
Treatment of diseases associated with non-cicatricial alopecia
Alopecia (loss of volume or complete loss of hair) can be a symptom of many diseases.In some cases it is a symptom of a local pathology limited to the scalp, in others it is a dermatological symptom of a systemic pathology.In almost every case, alopecia has a significant impact on the quality 5326058hx of life and may cause limitations in professio
Documentation: A Security Tool for the Identification and Repatriation of Illicitly Trafficked Objects from Museums with Particular Reference to the National Gallery of Zimbabwe
The aim of the study was to ascertain how documentation assisted in the recovery of stolen and illicitly trafficked objects at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe.The research objectives were to: Assess the adequacy of the gallery’s documentation system; appraise the documentation elements that were key in the tracking and repatriation of stolen
