Molecular characterization of Corynebacterium diphtheriae isolates, Russia, 1957-1987
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2002)In the 1990s, the Newly Independent and Baltic States of the former Soviet Union experienced the largest diphtheria outbreak since the 1960s; it was caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae strains of a unique clonal group. ... -
Molecular characterization of the apical organ of the anthozoan Nematostella vectensis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014-12-03)Apical organs are sensory structures present in many marine invertebrate larvae where they are considered to be involved in their settlement, metamorphosis and locomotion. In bilaterians they are characterised by a tuft ... -
Molecular characterization of the lipophorin receptor in the crustacean ectoparasite Lepeophtheirus salmonis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04-12)The Salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) is a marine ectoparasite of salmonid fish in the Northern Hemisphere and considered as a major challenge in aquaculture and a threat to wild populations of salmonids. Adult female ... -
Molecular characterization of the myoliquefactive fish parasite kudoa mirabilis (Cnidaria, kudoidae) from se Indian Ocean and its phylogenetic relationship with the kudoa thyrsites species complex
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Myxosporean parasites of the genus Kudoa are fish parasites of great economic importance, as some species can affect the fish fillet quality by producing macroscopic cysts or generating post mortem myoliquefaction, commonly ... -
Molecular composition and function of integrin-based collagen glues—Introducing COLINBRIs
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08)Background: Despite detailed knowledge about the structure and signaling properties of individual collagen receptors, much remains to be learned about how these receptors participate in linking cells to fibrillar collagen ... -
Molecular crosstalk between cancer cells and tumor microenvironment components suggests potential targets for new therapeutic approaches in mobile tongue cancer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)We characterized tumor microenvironment (TME) components of mobile tongue (MT) cancer patients in terms of overall inflammatory infiltrate, focusing on the protumorigenic/anti-inflammatory phenotypes and on cancer-associated ... -
Molecular Dynamics Simulation Studies of Piperazine Activated MDEA Absorption Solution with Methane and Carbon Dioxide
(Master thesis, 2010-06-15)Regenerative chemical absorption process is widely used in industry for removal of carbon dioxide from natural gas, with activated aqueous solutions of alkanolamines considered a beneficial blend. One of the most promising ... -
Molecular Dynamics Studies on the Lipid Transfer Protein - STARD11
(Master thesis, 2023-06-01)The STARD11 protein plays a crucial role in the transport of ceramide from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus. Ceramide is a lipid molecule that is essential for several cellular processes such as cell ... -
Molecular Dynamics Study of Selective Adsorption of PCB on Activated Carbon
(Journal article, 2011)The selectivity of PCB adsorption from fish oil onto activated carbon (AC) was investigated by means of molecular dynamics to determine the importance of molecular planarity. PCB congeners 77 and 118 were selected for ... -
Molecular dynamics study of water and carbon dioxide separation by means of nanotubes - A new method to capture CO2
(Master thesis, 2018-08-30)Anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are a huge concern these days. Arguably, but widely accepted, the apparent global climate changes are due to the increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide ... -
Molecular dysfunction associated with the human mitochondrial 3302A>G mutation in the MTTL1 (mt-tRNA Leu(UUR))) gene
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006-11-27)The gene encoding mt-tRNALeu(UUR), MT-TL1, is a hotspot for pathogenic mtDNA mutations. Amongst the first to be described was the 3302A>G transition which resulted in a substantial accumulation in patient muscle of RNA19, ... -
The Molecular Epidemiology of Enterovirus in a Birth Cohort in Nepal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) has a major impact on morbidity and mortality worldwide. The viral aetiology of diarrhoeal diseases may remain unknown due to limited diagnostic facilities. Non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) are ... -
Molecular evidence for a single origin of ultrafiltration-based excretory organs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Excretion is an essential physiological process, carried out by all living organisms, regardless of their size or complexity.1, 2, 3 Both protostomes (e.g., flies and flatworms) and deuterostomes (e.g., humans and sea ... -
Molecular evidence of parallel evolution in a cyanophage
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Antagonistic interactions between bacteriophage (phage) and its bacterial host drives the continual selection for resistance and counter-defence. To date, much remains unknown about the genomic evolution that occurs as ... -
Molecular evidence that only two opsin subfamilies, the blue light- (SWS2) and green light-sensitive (RH2), drive color vision in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-12-31)Teleosts show a great variety in visual opsin complement, due to both gene duplication and gene loss. The repertoire ranges from one subfamily of visual opsins (scotopic vision) including rod opsin only retinas seen in ... -
