Fig rust caused by Phakopsora nishidana in South Africa

Fig rust, caused by Swim - Junior Suits Cerotelium fici, was first recorded in South Africa in 1927.Recent observations have revealed high incidence of rust and untimely defoliation of fig trees (Ficus carica) in residential gardens and commercial orchards.Using phylogenetic analysis, the causal organism of a fig rust isolate (PREM63073) collected

Bioelectric and Morphological Response of Liquid-Covered Human Airway Epithelial Calu-3 Cell Monolayer to Periodic Deposition of Colloidal 3-Mercaptopropionic-Acid Coated CdSe-CdS/ZnS Core-Multishell Quantum Dots.

Lung epithelial cells are extensively exposed to nanoparticles present in the modern urban environment.Nanoparticles, including colloidal quantum dots (QDs), are also considered to be potentially useful carriers for the delivery of drugs into the Swim - Junior Suits body.It is therefore important to understand the ways of distribution and the effec

mRNA-delivery of IDO1 suppresses T cell-mediated autoimmunity

Summary: Indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO)1 degrades tryptophan, obtained through dietary intake, into immunoregulatory metabolites of the kynurenine pathway.Deficiency or blockade of IDO1 results in the enhancement of autoimmune severity in rodent models and increased susceptibility to developing autoimmunity in humans.Despite this, therapeutic mo
