Differential expression of genes associated with low-level vancomycin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: Auttawit Sirichoat, Viraphong Lulitanond, Sujintana Wongthong, Aroonwadee Chanawong, Ratree Tavichakorntrakool and Aroonlug Lulitanond
Heterogeneous vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (hVISA) and vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) have been associated with treatment failure, and hVISA cannot be detected by routine disc diffusion test. Currently, there is no specific genetic marker for detection of these strains. The aim of the current study was to inves.. Read More»

Development and characterization of microsatellite molecular markers for the eye mask frog Batrachyla taeniata (Girard, 1855)
Authors: Ingrid Cisternas-Medina, Juan Carlos Ortiz and Sandra Ferrada-Fuentes
Batrachyla taeniata (Batrachylidae) is a small frog from Chile and Argentina with a distributional range that spans more than 1500 km. However, their populations are threatened due to the change in land use, deforestation, and human settlements. Through massive sequencing runs in ION Torrent PGM, was built DNA fragment library, from which we fina.. Read More»

Expression of HCN and sodium channels in murine model of Type I diabetes
Authors: Anantha Maharasi Rama Krishnan and Kavitha Sankaranarayanan
Pancreatic apoptosis is an important event in the pathogenesis of Type 1 Diabetes. It is characterized by secretion and binding of inflammatory cytokines to the pancreatic islets, that activate downstream signaling mechanism. These signaling mechanisms finally increase intracellular calcium level and that lead to the activation of apoptotic pathways. Ion .. Read More»
