ABSTRACTMycobacterium abscessus is a non-tuberculous mycobacterium, causing lung infections in cystic fibrosis patients.During pulmonary infection, M.abscessus switches from smooth (Mabs-S) to rough (Mabs-R) morphotypes, the latter being hyper-virulent.Previously, we isolated the lsr2 gene as differentially expressed during S-to-R transition.lsr2 e
Abstract Radiotherapy is the current standard of care for more than 50% of all cancer patients.Improvements in radiotherapy (RT) technology have increased tumor targeting and normal tissue sparing.Radiations at ultra-high dose rates required for FLASH-RT effects have sparked interest in potentially providing additional differential therapeutic bene
Recent advances in sensor and recording technology have allowed scientists to acquire very large time-series datasets.Researchers often analyze these datasets in the context of events, which are intervals of time where the Floor Brush properties of the signal change relative to a baseline signal.We have developed DETECT, a MATLAB toolbox for detect
The measurement and treatment of acute pain in animals is essential from a welfare perspective.Valid pain-related outcome measures are also crucial for ensuring reliable and translatable findings in veterinary clinical trials.The short form of the Glasgow Composite Measure Pain Scale (CMPS-SF) is a multi-item behavioral Racks / Carriers pain assess
