This paper characterizes a microalga isolated from a solar panel, showing its desiccation tolerance, growth on piggery wastewater, and biostimulant properties.

Obesity-elicited macrophages shape CD9hi progenitor fate to promote adipose tissue fibrosis and dysfunction

This study identifies an interaction between obesity-elicited macrophages and CD9hi progenitors that drives adipose tissue fibrosis and dysfunction in mice and humans.

Shifting KRAS hotspot mutations inhibition paradigm in colorectal cancer

This study identifies a ruthenium compound, PMC79, that selectively inhibits KRAS mutations in colorectal cancer and enhances chemotherapy efficacy.

Integrative reappraisal of the Amazonian nurse frog Allobates gasconi (Morales 2002) based on topotypical data, with implications for the systematics and taxonomy of a large species complex

This paper redescribes the Amazonian nurse frog Allobates gasconi using topotypical specimens and integrates morphology and bioacoustic data to clarify its phylogenetic placement and taxonomy.

Optimization of somatic embryogenesis in Euterpe edulis Martius using auxin analogs and atomic force microscopy

This study evaluates auxin analogs for somatic embryogenesis in Euterpe edulis, finding triclopyr most effective and atomic force microscopy useful for selecting calli.

A novel cryopreservation and biobanking strategy to study lymphoid tissue stromal cells in human disease

This study demonstrates that cryopreservation of lymphoid tissue allows for the study of non-hematopoietic stromal cells in human disease, preserving cell type proportions and transcriptional profiles.

Studies on the interaction of three lytic bacteriophages with a wide collection of Escherichia coli strains implicated in swine enteric colibacillosis

This study evaluates three bacteriophages against ETEC and STEC strains from swine, finding they have narrow lytic spectra and some exhibit unique receptor recognition.

Characterization and safety profile of Imuno TF(R), a nutritional supplement for immune system regulation containing transfer factors

This study characterizes Imuno TF(R), a nutritional supplement, through proteomic analysis, nutritional composition, and safety testing, finding it safe with potential immune benefits.

Atazanavir inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and pro-inflammatory cytokine production

This study shows that atazanavir inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and reduces pro-inflammatory cytokine production in vitro.

Beyond members of the Flaviviridae family, sofosbuvir also inhibits chikungunya virus replication

This study shows sofosbuvir inhibits chikungunya virus replication in cell cultures and animal models, with selectivity over ribavirin and efficacy in vivo.

Yellow fever virus is susceptible to sofosbuvir both in vitro and in vivo

This study shows that sofosbuvir inhibits Yellow fever virus replication in vitro and protects mice from infection, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic option.

Sofosbuvir protects Zika virus-infected mice from mortality, preventing short- and long-term sequela

This study shows sofosbuvir reduces ZIKV levels and improves survival and long-term memory in infected mice.
