Differentiation of polyvalent bacteriophages specific to uropathogenic Proteus mirabilis strains based on the host range pattern and RFLP
(Polskie Towarzystwo Biochemiczne, 2016)Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by P. mirabilis are difficult to cure because of the increasing antimicrobial resistance of these bacteria. Phage therapy is proposed as an alternative infection treatment. The aim ... -
Digit ratio (2D:4D), laryngeal cancer and vocal fold leukoplakia
(Springer Nature, 2023)Background - To date, there are no studies that have analyzed the possible influence of exposure to prenatal sex hormones on the risk of laryngeal cancer (LC) and premalignant laryngeal lesion—vocal fold leukoplakia (VFL). ... -
Discover the anatomy of the mummies: how imaging techniques contribute to understanding disease in the past
(Firenze University Press, 2023)Mummies are the well-preserved remains of humans or animals in which non-bony tissue has been maintained naturally or artificially. Their significance lies in their contribution to paleopathological research, which involves ... -
Dissecting the RecA-(In)dependent Response to Mitomycin C in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Using Transcriptional Profiling and Proteomics Analyses
(MDPI, 2021)Mycobacteria exploit at least two independent global systems in response to DNA damage: the LexA/RecA-dependent SOS response and the PafBC-regulated pathway. Intracellular pathogens, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, are ... -
Distinct or similar? Soft bottom polychaete diversity in Arctic and Antarctic glacial fjords
(Springer International Publishing AG, 2014-08-03)The main aim of this study was to compare the polychaete communities in two similar polar areas: an Arctic fjord, Hornsund (Svalbard) and an Antarctic fjord, Ezcurra Inlet (South Shetlands). This is the first attempt to ... -
Distributional records of Ross Sea (Antarctica) Tanaidacea from museum samples stored in the collections of the Italian National Antarctic Museum (MNA) and the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2014)Here we present distributional records for Tanaidacea specimens collected during several Antarctic expeditions to the Ross Sea: the Italian PNRA expeditions (“V”, 1989/1990; “XI”, 1995/1996; “XIV”, 1998/1999; “XIX”, ... -
Disturbances in primary dental enamel in Polish autistic children
(Nature, 2020)Dental enamel is a structure that is formed as a result of the regular functioning of ameloblasts. The knowledge of the patterns of enamel secretion allows an analysis of their disruptions manifested in pronounced additional ... -
Diversity and distibution of polychaete (Annelida: Polychaeta) communities on the continental shelf and slope of Gulf of Guinea, Ghanaian coast.
(2022)Celem badań było zrozumienie mechanizmów kształtujących wzorce różnorodności i rozmieszczenia fauny wieloszczetów w różnej skali przestrzennej oraz wzdłuż gradientu głębokości, od płytkiego szelfu (25 m) aż do batialu (1000 ... -
Diversity and distribution of deep-sea Pseudotanaidae (Tanaidacea, Peracarida)
(2020)A large collection of Pseudotanaidae was obtained during three international expeditions. Samples were taken from shelf areas down to the slope (213−2750 m) and from the abyss (4093–5780 m). In North Atlantic waters, six ... -
Diversity and origin of freshwater amphipods of Mediterranean islands
(2019)The Mediterranean islands are considered to be natural laboratories of evolution and places with extremely high level of endemism. Even though the fresh waters are among most diverse and also the most endangered ecosystems, ... -
Diversity of the Chemical Profile and Biological Activity of Capsicum annuum L. Extracts in Relation to Their Lipophilicity
(MDPI, 2021)Ethanol extracts of two types of pepper (sweet and hot) were separated into fractions with increasing lipophilicity. After drying the extracts and fractions, their chemical composition, anti-radical activity in the DPPH ... -
DNA barcoding and cryptic diversity of deep-sea scavenging amphipods in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone (Eastern Equatorial Pacific)
(Springer Nature, 2021)The Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ), located in the abyssal equatorial Pacific, has been subject to intensive international exploration for polymetallic nodule mining over the last four decades. Many studies have investigated ... -
DNA damage and antioxidant properties of CORM-2 in normal and cancer cells
(Springer Nature, 2020)In this study, we compared the effect of tricarbonyldichlororuthenium (II) dimer (CORM-2) and its CO-depleted molecule (iCORM-2) on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 ... -
DNA damage response induced by oxidative stress in G0 cells and cells that re-initiated the cell cycle
(2016-03)In response to DNA damage, cells activate a signaling cascade known as the DNA damage response (DDR). DDR can modulate the cell cycle to give the cell prolonged time for DNA repair or to induce apoptosis. Cells residing ... -
Does Small Ruminant Lentivirus Infection in Goats Predispose to Bacterial Infection of the Mammary Gland? A Preliminary Study
