CULTIVABLE GUT MICROBIOTA IN SYNANTHROPIC BATS: SHIFTS OF ITS COMPOSITION AND DIVERSITY ASSOCIATED WITH HIBERNATION

Cultivable Gut Microbiota in Synanthropic Bats: Shifts of Its Composition and Diversity Associated with Hibernation

The role of bats in the global microbial ecology no doubt is significant due to their unique immune responses, ability to fly, and long lifespan, all contributing to pathogen spread.Some of these animals hibernate during winter, which results in the altering of their physiology.However, gut microbiota shifts during hibernation is little studied.In

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2 expression modulates cell roughness and membrane permeability: An atomic force microscopy study.

In mammalian cells, de novo glycerolipid synthesis begins with the acylation of glycerol-3-phosphate, catalyzed by glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases (GPAT).GPAT2 is a mitochondrial isoform primarily expressed in testis under physiological conditions, and overexpressed in several types of cancers and cancer-derived human cell lines where its exp

Drug-Induced Musculoskeletal Syndromes and Soft-Tissue Rheumatism

Drug-induced musculoskeletal syndromes represent a broad clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic biological abnormalities to severe organ-threatening manifestations.Many drugs have been implicated in inducing rheumatological adverse events.For some compounds, there is pathological or epidemiological evidence for a causal link, and for others,
