The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Citric Acid‐Crosslinked Chitosan Coatings Incorporating Curcumin for Enhancement of Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
A fully bio‐based coating was developed using Chitosan, Citric acid, and Curcumin. Citric acid acts simultaneously as a green solvent and non‐toxic crosslinker. Dry Heat Treatment enhances water resistance and thermal stability, creating an active packaging system with dual antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to extend food shelf‐life.

Temperature interacts with jack pine host defences to influence the growth of mountain pine beetle‐associated fungi

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Optimal growing temperatures varied with mountain pine beetle‐associated fungal species. There was only a marginal impact of temperature on the response of fungi to defensive monoterpenes of novel host pine. Interspecific facilitation occurred for Leptiographuim longiclavatum when grown in Ophiostoma montium‐induced treatments at optimal temperatures ...

Neonicotinoid seed treatments do not consistently reduce insect feeding damage nor increase yields in Maryland soy

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We compared soybean plants from untreated and treated seeds across 4 sites and 3 years in Maryland. Neonicotinoid seed treatments (NST) provided little reduction in insect stippling damage and no reduction in chewing damage. NST did not result in increased plant biomass or bean yield. Abstract The use of neonicotinoid insecticides in seed treatments in

Mesenchymal Stem Cells From a Klinefelter Syndrome Patient: Functional Characterization and Therapeutic Implications

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cell therapy, particularly those utilizing mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), is gaining traction as a therapeutic option for regenerative treatment in patients with limited therapeutic options. Although the safety of MSC‐based interventions is well established, uncertainties remain regarding how genetic abnormalities and ...

16S/18S metabarcoding versus culture for aetiological assessment in infectious keratitis: A prospective paired‐sample study

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Infectious keratitis (IK) is a vision‐threatening condition with diverse microbial aetiologies, yet conventional culture‐based diagnostics often have limited sensitivity. We investigated whether 16S/18S rRNA amplicon‐based next‐generation sequencing (NGS) can enhance aetiological assessment when used alongside standard microbiological ...
