The increasing significance of transnational and global phenomena determines the need in a new social theory that, while considering the particularity and unique characteristics of social phenomena, makes them scientifically meaningful on a transnational and global scale and in relation to each other.The fluid, indeterminate and multi-dimensional n

BldC Delays Entry into Development To Produce a Sustained Period of Vegetative Growth in Streptomyces venezuelae

ABSTRACT Streptomycetes are filamentous bacteria that differentiate by producing spore-bearing reproductive structures called aerial hyphae.The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is controlled by the bld (bald) loci, and mutations in bld genes prevent the formation of aerial hyphae, either by blocking entry into development (typicall

CpG stimulation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells induces a polarized cell shape and promotes migration in vitro and in vivo.

In order to accomplish their physiological functions leukocytes have the capability to migrate.As a prerequisite they need to adopt a polarized cell shape, forming a leading edge at the front and a uropod at rear pole.In this study we explored the capability of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) cells to adopt this leukocyte-specific migration phe
