2014 Femtosecond optical techniques allowing the generation of intense optical pulses from the near ultraviolet to the near infrared are used in the monitoring of ultrafast photophysical and photochemical reactions in aqueous solutions. Selected examples for dynamics of electron solvation in water and aqueous solution of ferrocyanide are discussed. Revue Phys. Appl. 22 (1987) -1759 DÉCEMBRE 198...

A multi-biochemical test system consisting of nine tests, entitled Enterotube, was evaluated in parallel with conventional tests to determine its value in the identification of enteric and certain other gram-negative bacilli. The 242 bacterial strains studied were from a variety of pathological specimens and from our culture collection. When the results with individual tests represented in both...

Neuroinflammation contributes to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) progression. TLR4, a transmembrane protein that plays a central role in activation of the innate immune system, has been shown to induce microglial activation in ALS models. TLR4 is up-regulated in the spinal cords of hSOD1G93A mice. We aimed to examine the effects of specific TLR4 inhibition on disease progression and surviva...

molecules with important functions, such as adherence, invasion, signaling, and interaction with the host immune system or the environment. In Gram-positive bacteria, many surface proteins are anchored to the cell wall envelope by an enzyme called sortase, which recognizes a conserved carboxylic sorting motif. Two sortase isoforms, sortase A (SrtA) and sortase B (SrtB), have been identified in ...
