Preconditioning strategies like caloric restriction (CR) and hypoxic preconditioning (HP) show remarkable protective effects in animal models of acute kidney injury (AKI). Since the underlying molecular effects are still not fully understood we performed an experiment directly comparing CR and HP in...
The saprophytic mold Aspergillus fumigatus produces small (2-3 µm) airborne spores (conidia) that can reach the lung alveoli upon inhalation. There, they encounter the surfactant-rich environment of the alveolar epithelium and initiate swelling and germination. Primary alveolar macrophages are essen...
Illumina HiSeq sequence data (with >80x coverage) were aligned to the hg19 human reference genome assembly using BWA (Li and Durbin, 2009); duplicate reads were removed from the final BAM file. No realignment or recalibration was performed.
