Biobanking facilities are well established in high-income settings, where substantial funding has been invested in infrastructure.In contrast, such facilities are much less developed in resource-restricted settings.However, low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) still face a disproportionately high infectious diseases burden.Thus, the further deve
The aim of this study was the investigation of the possibilities of direct determination of calcium, sodium and potassium in the commercial and kombucha-based fermented milk products by flame photometry.Two procedures were used for sample preparation: simple dilution with water (direct method) and extraction with mineral acid.Calcium, sodium and po
Major complications of heart transplantation include graft rejection, infection, graft arteriosclerosis, malignancy, and drug toxicity.Among these complications, infections and thrombophilic disorders are of particular interest owing to their major contribution to morbidity and mortality among heart transplantation patients.Thrombophilic disorders
Eukaryotic cells store neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol (TAG) in lipid droplets (LDs).Here, we have addressed how LDs are functionally linked to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).We show that, in S.cerevisiae, LD growth is sustained by LD-localized enzymes.When LDs grow in early stationary phase, the diacylglycerol acyl-transferase Dga1p moves f
