SARS-CoV-2 infection of human brain microvascular endothelial cells leads to inflammatory activation through NF-κB non-canonical pathway and mitochondrial remodeling

This study investigates SARS-CoV-2 infection of human brain microvascular endothelial cells, finding NF-κB non-canonical pathway activation and mitochondrial remodeling contribute to neuroinflammation and BBB disruption.

Micro-aggregation of a pristine grassland soil selects for bacterial and fungal communities and changes in nitrogen cycling potentials

The paper examines microbial community composition and nitrogen cycling potential in soil particle size fractions, finding that fungal communities are more sensitive to aggregate size and that specific taxa are selected in smaller fractions.

Plasmodium falciparum Acetyl-CoA Synthetase is essential for parasite intraerythrocytic development and chromatin modification

This study shows that PfACS is essential for Plasmodium falciparum growth and chromatin regulation, with knockdown or inhibition impairing parasite development and altering histone acetylation.

Acidogenic Fermentation of Sugarcane Vinasse and Glucose Using Two Different Anaerobic Digestion Inocula

This study compares acidogenic fermentation of synthetic vinasse and glucose by two Clostridium species, focusing on short chain organic acid production and ethanol yield.

Effect of Initial pH and Organic Matter Concentration on Production of Volatile Organic Acids Through Acidogenesis of Sugarcane Vinasse

This study investigates the effects of initial pH and COD on volatile organic acid production from synthetic sugarcane vinasse during acidogenesis, finding lactic acid as the dominant product.
