The microenvironment in antibiotic susceptibility testing [PDF]

APMIS
Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) by agar diffusion has been repeatedly standardized and, in most cases, gives results which predict clinical success when antibiotic treatment is based on such results. The formation of the inhibition zone is due to a transition from planktonic to biofilm mode of growth.

Targeting the ARRDC3–DRP1 Axis via hUMSC‐Derived Exosomal CRYAB for Neuroprotection in Cerebral Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Intranasally administered hUMSC‐derived exosomes modulate the CRYAB–ARRDC3–Drp1 axis, alleviating mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis, enhancing neuronal survival, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting functional recovery in ischemia‐reperfusion injury, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke.
