A dye exclusion test (DET) was performed to determine the viability of human breast cancer cells MCF-7, using natural food pigments as compared with trypan blue (TB), a Clothes Airer typical synthetic dye for DET known to exhibit teratogenicity and cytotoxicity.We demonstrated that Monascus pigment (MP) is noninvasive to living cells and can effect
Introduction: Panoramic radiographs have the unique ability to cover maxilla, mandible, and associated structures in a single image.Hence, the soft tissue calcifications within the region covered can be identified.Aim: To assess the prevalence of incidental DICE findings of soft tissue radiopacities on digital panoramic radiographs.Materials and Me
Semi-supervised consensus clustering is a promising strategy to compensate for the subjectivity of clustering and its sensitivity to design factors, with various techniques being recently proposed to integrate domain knowledge and multiple clustering partitions.In this article, we present a new approach that makes double use of domain knowledge, na
The production of the main virulence determinants, the extracellular plant cell wall-degrading enzymes, and hence virulence of Erwinia carotovora subsp.carotovora is controlled by a complex regulatory network.One of the global regulators, the response regulator ExpA, a GacA homolog, is required for transcriptional activation of the extracellular en
