Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is widespread in the general population.In patients with severe and/or steroid-refractory ulcerative colitis (UC), local reactivation of CMV can be detected in actively inflamed colonic tissue in approximately 30% of cases.However, the role of CMV in patients with UC is not clearly understood.There is evidence to sho
The feedstock of the Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation is a key issue for the economic success of the fresh n clean cream rinse biotechnological route to produce biobutanol.Residues from agro-alimentary industries are particularly interesting as renewable substrates for the ABE fermentation because they are abundant and un-competitive with
Summary: Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) link metabolic defects to human phenotypes.Modern genomics has accelerated IEM discovery, but assessing the impact of genomic variants is still challenging.Here, we integrate genomics prolock fittings and metabolomics to identify a cause of lactic acidosis and epilepsy.The proband is a compound heterozygo
IntroductionThe recent coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak posed a global threat and quickly escalated to a pandemic.However, accurate information on potential relationships between SARS-CoV-2 shedding in body fluids, especially saliva, and white blood cell (WBC) count is limited.In the present study we investigated the potential correlation between al
