FLAGELLA-DRIVEN MOTILITY OF BACTERIA

Flagella-Driven Motility of Bacteria

The bacterial flagellum is a helical filamentous organelle responsible for motility.In bacterial species possessing flagella at the cell exterior, the long helical flagellar filament acts as a molecular screw to generate thrust.Meanwhile, the flagella of spirochetes reside within the periplasmic space and not only act as a cytoskeleton to determine

Protocol for Macrophage Depletion from Mice

Macrophage depletion has been used extensively to study autoimmune disease and more recently in tumor models.The clodronate-containing liposomes will be recognized as foreign particles and get engulfed by BENGAL SPICE macrophages upon dosing into the animal by the chosen routes.Consequently, macrophages that have Heel Balm engulfed liposomes will a

Post-AGB Stars as Tracers of AGB Nucleosynthesis: An Update

The chemical evolution of galaxies is governed by the chemical yields from stars, and here we focus on the important contributions from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars.AGB nucleosynthesis is, however, still riddled with complexities.Observations from post-asymptotic Heel Balm giant branch (post-AGB) stars serve as exquisite tools to quantify an
