HIGH-RESOLUTION GENOTYPING OF LYMPHOGRANULOMA VENEREUM (LGV) STRAINS OF CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS IN LONDON USING MULTI-LOCUS VNTR ANALYSIS-OMPA GENOTYPING (MLVA-OMPA).

BackgroundLymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) is caused by Chlamydia trachomatis strains with ompA genotypes L1 to L3.An LGV epidemic associated with the L2b genotype has emerged in the past few decades amongst men who have sex with men (MSM).C.trachomatis genotypes can be discriminated by outer membrane protein A gene (ompA) sequencing, however this me

Dermal papilla cells (DPCs) are an important element of the hair follicle (HF) niche, widely used as an in vitro model to study hair growth-related research.These cells are usually grown in 2D culture, but this system did not show efficient therapeutic effects on HF regeneration and growth, and key differences were observed between cell activity in

The Tanjero Formation is the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian-Maastrichtian) crops out in northeastern Iraq at the High-Folded and Imbricate Zones.To study heavy minerals, twenty sandstone samples were obtained from selected sites of the Tanjero Formation exposed at the southwestern limb of the Surdash anticline in the northeast part of Sulaimanyia city

The hypocretins/orexins are comprised of two neuroexcitatory peptides that are synthesized exclusively within a circumscribed region of the lateral hypothalamus.These peptides project widely throughout the brain and interact with a variety of regions involved in the regulation of arousal-related processes including those associated with motivated b
