Over the past 5 years, large-scale sequencing has been revolutionized by the development
of several so-called next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies. These have drastically …

Cytostatic chemotherapy of hematological malignancies is often complicated by neutropenia,
which increases the risk of infections, especially if the neutrophil count is below 500/μl. …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of combined fluorine-18
fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) in …

… cerevisiae β-CA and exhibit an in vitro CO 2 hydration activity (k cat /K m of CAS1: 1.30 ×
10 6 /M/s; CAS2: 1.21 × 10 6 /M/s). The crystal structures of both proteins revealed that in …

Fruiting bodies are among the most complex multicellular structures formed by fungi, and the
molecular mechanisms that regulate their development are far from understood. However, …

Filamentous fungi are of great importance in ecology, agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology.
Thus, it is not surprising that genomes for more than 100 filamentous fungi have been …

Purpose: Retrospective studies have shown that immunoassays measuring free light chains
(FLC) in serum are useful for diagnosis and monitoring of multiple myeloma. This study …

The primary morphological character that distinguishes members of the phylum Ascomycota
from all other fungi is the ascus. This sac-like meiosporangium contains the meiospores (…

The present study evaluated cellular and humoral immune parameters in myeloma patients,
focusing on the effect of treatment and the risk of opportunistic infections. Peripheral blood …

Mating-type genes in fungi encode regulators of mating and sexual development.
Heterothallic ascomycete species require different sets of mating-type genes to control nonself-…
