BIFIDOBACTERIUM LONGUM SUBSP. INFANTIS ATCC 15697 AND GOAT MILK OLIGOSACCHARIDES SHOW SYNERGISM IN VITRO AS ANTI-INFECTIVES AGAINST CAMPYLOBACTER JEJUNI

Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis ATCC 15697 and Goat Milk Oligosaccharides Show Synergism In Vitro as Anti-Infectives against Campylobacter jejuni

Bifidobacteria are known to inhibit, compete with and displace the adhesion of pathogens to human intestinal cells.Previously, we demonstrated that goat milk oligosaccharides (GMO) increased the attachment of Bifidobacterium longum subsp.infantis ATCC 15697 to intestinal cells in vitro.In this study, we aimed to exploit this effect as a mechanism f

PharmOmics: A species- and tissue-specific drug signature database and gene-network-based drug repositioning tool

Summary: Drug development has been hampered by a high failure rate in clinical trials due to our incomplete understanding of drug functions across organs and species.Therefore, elucidating species- and tissue-specific drug functions can provide insights into therapeutic efficacy, potential adverse effects, and interspecies differences necessary for

Modeling an Alternate Operational Ground Source Heat Pump for Combined Space Heating and Domestic Hot Water Power Sizing

This study developed an alternate operational control system for ground source heat pumps (GSHP), which was applied to determine combined space heating and domestic hot water (DHW) power equations at design temperature.A domestic GSHP with an alternate control system was implemented in a whole building simulation model following the heat deficiency
