The aim of the study was to establish the concentration of the circulating immune complexes (CICs) with high (CIC 2,5%), medium (CIC 4,2%) and low (CIC 8.0%) molecular weights in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) as biomarkers of the endogenous intoxication and the degree of severity.We investigated 56 patients diagnosed with pulmonary TB a
Keloids are pathologic wound healing conditions caused by fibroblast hyperproliferation and excess collagen deposition following skin injury or irritation, which Treatment significantly impact patients by causing psychosocial and functional distress.Extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and human fibroblast proliferation represents the main pathoph
The formation of vesicles is essential for many biological processes, in particular for the trafficking of membrane proteins within cells.The Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT) directs membrane budding away from the cytosol.Unlike other vesicle formation pathways, the ESCRT-mediated budding occurs without a protein coat.Here,
Lyme disease is caused by spirochaetes of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies.Complete genome assemblies are available for fewer than ten strains Lanterns of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, the primary cause of Lyme disease in North America.MM1 is a sensu stricto strain originally isolated in the midwestern United States.Aside from
Flexibly-reconfigurable roll forming (FRRF) is a novel sheet metal forming technology by which sheet metal is shaped into a desired curvature using reconfigurable rollers and gaps.FRRF is conducive to producing multi-curvature surfaces by controlling the longitudinal strain distribution.However, it is difficult to predict the forming results since
