Expression of transforming growth factor beta is elevated in human and experimental diabetic nephropathy.

abstract：:The surface layer of the oceans and other aquatic environments contains many bacteria that range in activity, from dormant cells to those with high rates of metabolism. However, little experimental evidence exists about the activity of specific bacterial taxa, especially rare ones. Here we explore the relationship bet...
