Random cell-to-cell variations in gene expression within an isogenic population can lead to
transitions between alternative states of gene expression. Little is known about how these�…

Two billion people are latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Mtb-infected
macrophages are likely to be sequestered inside the hypoxic environments of the�…

High expression of the transcriptional activator ComK occurs in 10–20% of the cells in
stationary phase cultures of Bacillus subtilis strain 168. ComK drives the expression of more�…

Recently, researchers have uncovered the presence of many long noncoding RNAs
(lncRNAs) in embryonic stem cells and believe they are important regulators of the�…

Heterogeneous expression of the transcription factor NANOG has been linked to the
existence of various functional states in pluripotent stem cells. This heterogeneity seems to�…

Childhood obesity is nowadays considered one of the major health problems that many
societies suffer from today. The obesity epidemic leads to several life threatening conditions�…

Summary The Global Meningococcal Initiative (GMI) has recently considered current issues
in Middle Eastern and African countries, and produced two recommendations:(i) that�…

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the drug-resistance and the molecular
characterization of carbapenemases, ESBL, and aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes�…

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is known to produce wax esters (WE) when subjected to
stress. However, nothing is known about the enzymes involved in biosynthesis of WE and�…

Electropermeabilization of Clostridium cellulolyticum was optimized using ATP leakage
assays. Electrotransformation was then performed under optimized conditions (6 to 7.5 kV�…
