BACKGROUND Deletion of the entire AZFb interval from the Y chromosome is strictly associated with azoospermia arising from maturation arrest during meiosis. Here, we describe the exceptional case of an oligozoospermic man, 13-1217, with an AZFb + c (P5/distal-P1) deletion. Through the characterization of this patient, and two AZFb (P5/proximal-P1) patients with maturation arrest, we have explor...

We developed murine Cyp3a knockout (KO) chimeric mice with humanized liver expressing human P450s similar to those in humans and whose livers and small intestines do not express murine Cyp3a. This approach may overcome effects of residual mouse metabolic enzymes like Cyp3a in conventional chimeric mice with humanized liver, such as PXB-mice [urokinase plasminogen activator/severe combined immun...

HR 1217 is probably the best studied multiperiodic rapidly oscillating Ap star, which makes this star a test case for the seismic analysis of these complex stars. In this paper, we combine the observational data available for HR 1217 and use these data to constrain theoretical models appropriate for this star. In particular, we try to establish which unknown model parameters are the most releva...

Interpretation of an earlier published infrared spectrum of Mycobacterium smegmatis lipids with receptor site activity for D4 phage led us to the inference that the active substance is very likely a mycoside C. This hypothesis was confirmed: the well-characterized mycosides C(s) and C(1217) elaborated by the heterologous strains M. scrofulaceum and Mycobacterium species 1217, respectively, are ...

Synthetic glucocorticoids (GC) are the mainstay therapy for treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory disorders. Due to the high adverse effects associated with long-term use, GC pharmacology has focused since the nineties on more selective GC ligand-binding strategies, classified as selective glucocorticoid receptor (GR) agonists (SEGRAs) or selective glucocorticoid receptor modulators (SEGR...
