Staphylococcus aureus colonizes the skin of the majority of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), and its presence increases disease severity. Adhesion of S. aureus to corneocytes in the stratum corneum is a key initial event in colonization, but the bacterial and host factors contributing to this process have not been defined. Here, we show that…[Read more]

To review the evidence on the usefulness of the multifocal visual evoked potential (mfVEP) test in patients with optic neuritis (ON) and/or multiple sclerosis (MS).
We critically review key published evidence on the use of mfVEP in ON/MS patients and its association with other functional and structural tests.
Multifocal VEP tests…[Read more]

High cell viability and metabolic activity were observed after up to 7 days in culture for encapsulated cells. Mesenchymal stromal cells encapsulated in chitosan microbeads released higher amounts of the vascular endothelial growth factor after 24 h compared to the cells encapsulated in manually cast macrogels. Moreover, microbeads were injectable…[Read more]

For culvert restorations, the small sample size and variable study design and biotic responses limited generalizing about temporal and spatial scale effects for that restoration type. The complex and often lengthy time to restore streams from acid mine drainage and industrial pollutants often resulted in positive biotic responses, but restored…[Read more]

Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) are virulence factors of Xanthomonas that induce the expression of host susceptibility (S) genes by specifically binding to effector binding elements (EBEs) in their promoter regions. The DNA binding specificity of TALEs is dictated by their tandem repeat regions, which are highly variable between…[Read more]

The Southeast Missouri Lead District is among the most productive lead deposits exploited in modern times. Intensive mining conducted prior to regulations resulted in a legacy of lead contaminated soil, large piles of mine tailings and elevated childhood blood lead levels. This study seeks to identify the source of the lead contamination in the…[Read more]
