Zinc is an essential micronutrient for all living organisms. It is required for signalling and proper functioning of a range of proteins involved in, for example, DNA binding and enzymatic catalysis. In prokaryotes and photosynthetic eukaryotes, Zn(2+)-transporting P-type ATPases of class IB (ZntA) are crucial for cellular redistribution and detoxification of Zn(2+) and related elements. Here we p
Background: Different microorganisms from the environment will begin to colonise the infant during and immediately after the delivery. It could be advantageous to influence the microbiome early on by giving infants probiotic bacteria. The aim of the study was to investigate the tolerance of two probiotic lactobacilli in infants. The effect on the microbiota was also followed. Methods: Thirty-six h

Macaca nemestrina, which may have larger and more numerous pancreatic islets than other species, was used for large scale islet isolation by ductal collagenase perfusion and Ficoll gradient centrifugation. The average yield was 51,000 islet equivalents per pancreas, or 8,750 islets equivalents per g. The average purity was 91%, often exceeding 95%. These are the highest reported size, purity, and
