Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax in humans, livestock, and wildlife, exists a community with hundreds other species bacteria environment. Work on genetics these communities has shown that B. anthracis shares high percentage chromosomal genes both thuringiensis cereus, phenotypic differences among can result from extra-chromosomal DNA form plasmids. We developed simple hypothet...

Central giant cell granuloma is a benign, aggressive neoplasm composed of multinucleated giant cells that almost exclusively occurs in the jaws though extra-gnathic incidence is rare.Multifocal CGCGs of the jaws are very rare and suggestive of systemic diseases such as hyperparathyroidism,an inherited syndrome such as Noonan-like multiple giant cell lesion syndrome or other disorders.Very few c...

In mammals, parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a key regulator of extracellular calcium and inorganic phosphorus homeostasis. Although the parathyroid glands were thought to be the only source of PTH, extra-parathyroid PTH production in the thymus, which shares a common origin with parathyroids during organogenesis, has been proposed to provide an auxiliary source of PTH, resulting in a higher than e...

Microbial transformations are key processes in marine phosphorus cycling. In this study, we investigated the contribution of phototrophic and heterotrophic groups to phosphate (Pi) uptake fluxes in the euphotic zone of the lowPi Mediterranean Sea and estimated Pi uptake kinetic characteristics. Surface soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations were in the range of 6–80 nmol L across the ...
