Abstract

Tadeusz Baranowski was born in Lwow on 13 September 1910. He finished his medical studies in 1933 at the Jan Kazimierz University, worked at the Medical Chemistry Institute directed by Jacob Parnas, resided in Wilno from 1935-1937, and defended his doctorate there in 1936. He earned his habilitat degree in 1939 upon his return to Lwow. From 1939-1941 Baranowski worked first as docent and then as professor at the Biochemistry Department of the Government Institute of Medicine in Lwow. From 1942-1944 he was the director of the Medical Chemistry Institute of the Government Medical Studies Program. In 1944, he moved from Lwow to Krakow. In May of 1945, he moved once again from Krakow to Wroclaw, to take the position of director of the group responsible for overseeing the buildings and equipment of the Medical Academy. That same year he became an associate professor and director of the Physiological Chemistry Department. He also held the office of dean of the medical faculty and president of the Medical Academy in Wroclaw. Prof. Baranowski was nominated to a full professorship in 1955. He became an associate member of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1954, and in 1969 he was awarded full membership in the Academy. Over the years, h...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
