The polymyxin antibiotic colistin shows in vitro activity against Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.However, an increased incidence of colistin-resistant isolates has been recently observed.In addition, in vitro evaluation of colistin susceptibility for this organism has been problematic.The aims of this study were to investigate the colistin-resistance

Abstract Nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) is the most common craniosynostosis with the primary defect being one or more fused sutures.In contrast to syndromic craniosynostosis, the etiopathogenesis of NSC is largely unknown.Here we show that autophagy, a major catabolic process required for the maintenance of bone the gel bottle cashmere homeost

Infection with Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligate intracellular bacterium, can cause mild or severe scrub typhus.Some patients develop acute lung injury, multi-organ failure, and fatal infection; however, little is known regarding key immune mediators that mediate infection control or disease pathogenesis.Using murine models of scrub typhus, we de

There is variability in the reported effects of compounds on osteoblasts arising from differences in experimental design and choice of cell type/origin.This makes it difficult to discern a compound’s action outside its original study and compare efficacy between compounds.Here, we investigated five compounds frequently reported as anabolic fo
