Optimized DNA preparation from mycobacteria (Publications)
Extraction of genomic DNA from mycobacteria requires special consideration because (i) many mycobacterial species exhibit extremely slow growth, and thus produce only small amounts of starting materia
Membrane protein turnover by the m-AAA protease in mitochondria depends on the transmembrane domains of its subunits (Publications)
AAA proteases are membrane-bound ATP-dependent proteases that are present in eubacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts and that can degrade membrane proteins. Recent evidence suggests dislocation of m
Protein degradation in mitochondria (Publications)
The biogenesis of mitochondria and the maintenance of mitochondrial functions depends on an autonomous proteolytic system in the organelle which is highly conserved throughout evolution. Components of
Evolution of two distinct phylogenetic lineages of the emerging human pathogen <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> (Publications)
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Comparative genomics has greatly improved our understanding of the evolution of pathogenic mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here we have used data from a genome m
Simplifying paediatric immunization with a fully liquid DTP-HepB-Hib combination vaccine: evidence from a comparative time-motion study in India (Publications)
An observational time-motion study investigated logistic, programmatic and safety-related advantages and limits in the delivery of a fully liquid DTP-HepB-Hib combination vaccine versus a lyophilized
Temporal trends of radio-frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure in everyday environments across European cities (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The rapid development and increased use of wireless telecommunication technologies led to a substantial change of radio-frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure in the general pop
