Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Background Peripheral disease mechanisms such as immune dysregulation may contribute to Parkinson's disease (PD). To investigate interactions between common PD mutations and immune responses to environmental pathogens, we studied responses to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biofouling on artificial surfaces in aquatic ecosystems leads to significant economic losses. Current antifouling paints, while effective, often harm the aquatic environment. This study explores ecologically safe antifouling alternatives derived from plants, focusing on the aquatic macrophytes Cabomba caroliniana (CC) and Schoenoplectus ...

Microbial Community Dynamics in Marine Water: Influence of Hydrocarbon Type and Exposure Time
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Marine environments are frequently impacted by petroleum‐derived hydrocarbons, which pose ecological risks because of their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic potential. Microorganisms play a crucial role in hydrocarbon degradation, and understanding the influence of time and hydrocarbon type on microbial dynamics helps improve bioremediation ...

Compatibility of personal care thickening polymers in sulphate‐free surfactants
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.Phase behaviour for alpha olefin sulfonate surfactant 10–15 wt% combined with 1 wt% sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, clearly indicating the sensitivity in miscibility when adding various levels of background salt. Abstract Objective Formulators today know that when traditional surfactants and polymers are replaced new problems occur. What was before a ‘

Development of Foam-Free Biosurfactant Production Processes Using Bacillus licheniformis
FermentationMicrobial biosurfactants are considered environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic surfactants in numerous applications. One of the main bottlenecks to their widespread use is the lack of effective processes for their production on an industrial ...
