Incidence, risk factors, and patient characteristics in severe contact lens‐related microbial keratitis

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 289-294, May 2025.
Abstract Purpose The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence, patient characteristics, and risk factors for severe, contact lens‐related keratitis in patients in need of hospitalization. Methods Keratitis was defined as severe when the disease required hospitalization. All patients with contact lens‐related keratitis hospitalized at our

Algal Symbiont Diversity and Host Fitness Variation in Amoebozoan Photosymbiosis

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Photosymbioses, the symbiotic relationships between microalgae and non‐photosynthetic eukaryotes, are sporadically found in many eukaryotic lineages. Only a few taxa, such as cnidarians and ciliates hosting algal endosymbionts, have been actively studied, which has hindered understanding the universal mechanisms of photosymbiosis establishment.

The Mechanisms of Codon Reassignments in Mitochondrial Genetic Codes [PDF]

, 2007
Many cases of non-standard genetic codes are known in mitochondrial genomes. We carry out analysis of phylogeny and codon usage of organisms for which the complete mitochondrial genome is available, and we determine the most likely mechanism for codon ...

Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Ancyromonads Provide Clues for the Gene Content and Genome Structures of Ancestral Mitochondria

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Mitochondria of eukaryotic cells are direct descendants of an endosymbiotic bacterium related to Alphaproteobacteria. These organelles retain their own genomes, which are highly reduced and divergent when compared to those of their bacterial relatives.

Dynamic and Reversible Tuning of Hydrogel Viscoelasticity by Transient Polymer Interactions for Controlling Cell Adhesion

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 12, March 26, 2025.
Biological systems are very responsive to changes in stiffness, influencing important processes, and diseases in humans. Here, a novel method to dynamically and reversibly control hydrogel stiffness through interactions with poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) is presented. By exposing hydrogels to PEG solutions at different concentrations and sizes, hydrogel

Acanthamoeba and Dictyostelium as Cellular Models for Legionella Infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Environmental bacteria of the genus Legionella naturally parasitize free-living amoebae. Upon inhalation of bacteria-laden aerosols, the opportunistic pathogens grow intracellularly in alveolar macrophages and can cause a life-threatening pneumonia ...
