Discovery of prevalent natural Wolbachia in Aedes aegypti in Metropolitan Manila, Philippines using locally designed primers: bacterial density is influenced by strain and host sex

The paper screens for Wolbachia density in Aedes aegypti from Metropolitan Manila using locally designed primers, finding higher densities in males and a unique strain wAegML with lower density than other strains.

Inhibition of Lipopolysaccharide E. coli-induced acute lung injury by extracted Antidesma bunius (L.) Spreng fruits as compared to Fluticasone Propionate, a corticosteroid

This study shows that Bignay fruit extract reduces LPS-induced ALI in mice, comparable to Fluticasone Propionate, by decreasing inflammatory biomarkers and vascular leakage.
