A Systematic Comparison of Alpha‐Synuclein Seed Amplification Assays for Increasing Reproducibility

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed amplification assays (SAAs) enable ultrasensitive detection of misfolded α‐synuclein across biofluids and tissues. Yet, heterogeneity in protocols limits cross‐study comparability and clinical translation. Here, we review α‐synuclein SAA methods and their performance across various biological matrices.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

High Resolution Typing by Whole Genome Mapping Enables Discrimination of LA-MRSA (CC398) Strains and Identification of Transmission Events.

PLoS ONE, 2013
After its emergence in 2003, a livestock-associated (LA-)MRSA clade (CC398) has caused an impressive increase in the number of isolates submitted for the Dutch national MRSA surveillance and now comprises 40% of all isolates. The currently used molecular

Técnicas de avaliação da resistência de ameixeira à Xanthomonas arboricola pv pruni Screening techniques for bacterial spot (Xanthomonas arboricola pv pruni) resistance in japanese-type plum cultivars

Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2005
A bacteriose da ameixeira e de outras frutíferas de caroço, causada pela bactéria Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni (Smith), é uma doença grave em climas quentes e úmidos. O controle químico é oneroso, de baixa eficiência e danoso ao meio ambiente. Por outro lado, em áreas de ocorrência da doença, o uso de cultivares resistentes é muito importante ...
