EXTRACELLULAR DNA IS ESSENTIAL FOR MAINTAINING BORDETELLA BIOFILM INTEGRITY ON ABIOTIC SURFACES AND IN THE UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT OF MICE.

Extracellular DNA is essential for maintaining Bordetella biofilm integrity on abiotic surfaces and in the upper respiratory tract of mice.

Bacteria form complex and highly elaborate surface adherent communities known as biofilms which are held together by a self-produced Outdoor Lounge Chair with Cushion extracellular matrix.We have previously shown that by adopting a biofilm mode of existence in vivo, the gram negative bacterial pathogens Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella pert

Neither sulfoxaflor, Crithidia bombi, nor their combination impact bumble bee colony development or field bean pollination

Racquet Sports - Padel Abstract Many pollinators, including bumble bees, are in decline.Such declines are known to be driven by a number of interacting factors.Decreases in bee populations may also negatively impact the key ecosystem service, pollination, that they provide.Pesticides and parasites are often cited as two of the drivers of bee declin

Adipose Tissue and Metabolic Health

In this review, we provide a brief synopsis of the connections between adipose tissue and metabolic health and highlight some recent developments in understanding and exploiting adipocyte biology.Adipose tissue plays critical roles in the regulation of systemic glucose and lipid metabolism and secretes bioactive molecules possessing endocrine, para
