Hemin upregulates heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a stress-induced enzyme implicated in protection from a variety of injuries while its related isoform HO-2 is constitutively expressed. The role of hemin or...
Induced Biliary Excretion of Listeria monocytogenes
Hardy, Jonathan, Margolis, Jeffrey J., Contag, Christopher H.
Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous gram-positive bacterium that can cause systemic and often life-threatening disease in immunocompromised hosts. This organism is largely an intracellular...
