A gene encoding a DUF523 domain protein is involved in the conversion of 2-thiouracil into uracil
(Environmental microbiology reports, 2018)Modified nucleotides are present in many RNA species in all Domains of Life. While the biosynthetic pathways of such nucleotides are well studied, much less is known about the degradation of RNAs and the return to the ... -
A mechanical model of heart valves with chordae for in silico real-time computations and cardiac surgery planning
(Engineering transactions, 2018)In this paper, a two-dimensional (2D) model of the dynamics of mitral valve with chordae is developed based on in vivo data of the periodical motion of the valve leaflets digitized from the ultrasound imaging. The chordae ... -
A new fuzzy approach based on BWM and fuzzy preference programming for hospital performance evaluation: A case study
(Applied soft computing, 2020)Hospital performance evaluation (HPE) has a major role in improving the quality, safety, and effectiveness of health care services, so it is indispensable for proper and continuous operation of hospitals. Although several ... -
A novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae killer strain secreting the X factor related to killer activity and inhibition of S. cerevisiae K1, K2 and K28 killer toxins
(Indian journal of microbiology, 2016)It was determined that Kx strains secrete an X factor which can inhibit all known Saccharomyces cerevisiae killer toxins (K1, K2, K28) and some toxins of other yeast species—the phenomenon not yet described in the scientific ... -
A quick and reliable method for genome-wide host factor screening of Saccharomyces cerevisiae killer toxins
(Biologija, 2016)Numerous yeasts produce toxic compounds to fight the competitors. Such compounds include small molecules (like antibiotics), antibiotic peptides, and also larger proteins, including killer toxins. Their ability to affect ... -
A red-emitting thiophene-modified BODIPY probe for fluorescence lifetime-based polarity imaging of lipid droplets in living cells
(Journal of materials chemistry B, 2023)Intracellular polarity in lipid droplets as well as other organelles may provide useful knowledge about various processes taking place in live cells. Therefore, small fluorophores capable of visualising polarity are ... -
A refinement of clinical tumor marker monitoring: Why not use an inverse value of doubling time?
(Medical principles and practice : international journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre, 2021)OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics - half-life time (HT), doubling time (DT), and elimination rate PSA (ePSA) in prostate cancer (PCa) monitoring. Implementation of ... -
Accumulation and Toxicity of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in Cells and Experimental Animals
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016)The uptake and distribution of negatively charged superparamagnetic iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (SPIONs) in mouse embryonic fibroblasts NIH3T3, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal influenced by SPIONs injected ... -
Accuracy of ground reaction force and muscle activation prediction in a child-adapted musculoskeletal model
(Sensors, 2022)(1) Background: Significant advances in digital modelling worldwide have been attributed to the practical application of digital musculoskeletal (MS) models in clinical practice. However, the vast majority of MS models are ... -
Adaptation and validation of the Lithuanian version of the Pediatric Voice Handicap Index
