CerM and Its Antagonist CerN Are New Components of the Quorum Sensing System in Cereibacter sphaeroides, Signaling to the CckA/ChpT/CtrA System [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 13, Issue 6, December 2024.
The quorum sensing (QS) system of Cereibacter sphaeroides includes six LuxR homologs and one acylhomoserine lactone synthase homolog. Two LuxR homologs, CerM and CerN, are involved in regulating the expression of ctrA, which is part of the CckA/ChpT/CtrA two‐component system that controls flagellar motility.

Phytofabricated Silver Nanoparticles From Vaccinium arctostaphylos L.: Anticancer Activity Against Breast Cancer Cells via Apoptosis Induction and Growth Suppression [PDF]

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study demonstrates that phytofabricated silver nanoparticles (VACAgNPs) from Vaccinium arctostaphylos L. exhibit significant anticancer activity against breast cancer cells, inducing apoptosis and suppressing growth in both hormone‐responsive (MCF‐7) and triple‐negative (4T1, MDA‐MB‐231) subtypes. The nanoparticles enhanced reactive oxygen species

Cytotoxic and Antifungal Amides Derived from Ferulic Acid: Molecular Docking and Mechanism of Action

BioMed Research International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Amides derived from ferulic acid have a wide spectrum of pharmacological activities, including antitumor and antifungal activity. In the present study, a series of ten amides were obtained by coupling reactions using the reagents (benzotriazol‐1‐yloxy) tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP) and N,N ′ -dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC).

Fakers and Mold-Makers: The Use of Structured Light Scanning to Detect Forgeries of Pre-Hispanic Effigies from Oaxaca

Journal of Conservation and Museum Studies, 2022
A common forgery technique is to use molds to create a suite of objects. This article introduces a new technique to identify objects made with the same mold through the comparison of 3D models created using structured light scanning (SLS). SLS data, when
