RickA expression is not sufficient to promote actin-based motility of Rickettsia raoultii.
BACKGROUND: Rickettsia raoultii is a novel Rickettsia species recently isolated from Dermacentor ticks and classified within the spotted fever group (SFG).The inability of R.raoultii to spread within L929 cells suggests that this Stainless Tubing bacterium is unable to polymerize host cell actin, a property exhibited by all SFG rickettsiae except R
Pluripotent stem cells: A therapeutic source for age-related macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) leads to progressive loss of central vision in the elderly.At a cellular level, there is aging of the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, and accumulation of lipofuscin that interferes with the proper functioning of Tea Towels RPE which eventually leads to apoptosis.Treatment depends on the stage of the di
Developmental process in diffuse psychological/neuropsychiatric manifestations of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) involves Tea Towels excessive autoimmune reactions, with pathogenesis characterized by autoantibody production.Although the specific mechanism underlying the development of neuropsychiatric syndromes in SLE (NPSLE) is still unclear, recent studies indicate the involvement of autoimmune pathophysiology.We previousl
