A system of cells made permeable by treatment with high concentrations of surcrose (plasmolysis) has been exploited to study the excision repair of ultraviolet-irradiated deoxyribonucleic acid in Escherichia coli. It is demonstrated that adenosine 5'-triphosphate is required for incision breaks to be made in the bacterial chromosome as well as in covalently closed bacteriophage lambda deoxyribo...

Confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) is a newly developed endoscopic technique that enables imaging of the mucosal layer during endoscopy at a subcellular level of resolution. The method can therefore be used for the assessment of changes in vascular architecture, connective tissue, and cellular components in the mucosa, enabling endoscopists to collect real-time in vivo histological images or "...

,YIn a previous study (Sevag and Gots, 1948) on the effects of various drugs on the pneumococcal dehydrogenase systems it was found that, whereas acriflavine, atabrine, propamidine, and optochin could inhibit these systems, high concentrations of sulfonamides had no effect. Other investigators (Mellon aind Bambas, 1937; Brazda and Rice, 1942; Fox, 1942; Clifton and Loewinger, 1943) have reporte...
