Three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillusbrevis, and Lactobacillussakei isolated from meat products were tested for their ability to utilize and grow on xylooligosaccharides (XOSs). The extent of carbohydrate utilization by the studied strains was analyzed by HPLC. All three strains showed…[Read more]

We further explore the individual contribution of heterogeneous node dynamics and coupling by interpreting in-vitro experimental data in which the speed of onset can be chemically modulated. This work contributes to a better understanding of possible drivers for the spatiotemporal patterns observed at seizure onset and may ultimately contribute to…[Read more]

Nucleic acid aptamers are innovative and promising candidates to block the hallmark event in the prion diseases, that is the conversion of prion protein (PrP) into an abnormal form; however, they need chemical modifications for effective therapeutic activity. This communication reports on the development and biophysical characterization of a small…[Read more]
