Agrobacterium tumefaciens can cause crown gall tumors by transferring both an oncogenic piece of DNA (T-DNA) and several effector proteins into a wide range of host plants.For the translocated effector VirE3 multiple functions have been reported.It acts as a transcription factor in the nucleus binding to the Arabidopsis thaliana pBrp TFIIB-like pro

Orientational dependence of the IR absorbing amide bands of silk is demonstrated from two orthogonal longitudinal and transverse microtome slices with a thickness of only ∼100 nm.Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) which preferentially probes orientation perpendicular to the sample’s surface was used.Spatial resolution of the

Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has limited the replication and spread of the human immunodeficiency virus Placemats (HIV).However, despite treatment, HIV infection persists in latently infected reservoirs, and once therapy is interrupted, viral replication rebounds quickly.Extensive efforts are being directed at eliminating these cell

Abstract Background Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values as imaging biomarkers of rectal cancer are currently a hot research spot.The use of ADC values for preoperative judgment of pathological features in rectal cancer has been generally accepted.The image quality evaluation of conventional diffusion is
