Lichen and Its Microbiome as an Untapped Source of Anti‐Biofilm Compounds

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 17, 2025.
Lichens and their associated fungi give rise to the evaluation of several extracts and compounds against biofilms. ABSTRACT Lichen substances have been first described in the 1870s, and around 10 000 compounds have been isolated and characterized. Most of them have been evaluated for their activity on planktonic microorganisms (bacteria and fungi ...

RGD delivery of truncated coagulase to tumor vasculature affords local thrombotic activity to induce infarction of tumors in mice

Scientific Reports, 2017
Induction of thrombosis in tumor vasculature represents an appealing strategy for combating cancer. Herein, we combined unique intrinsic coagulation properties of staphylocoagulase with new acquired functional potentials introduced by genetic engineering,

Effects of Plant Substitutes for Nitrite on the Technological Characteristics of Fermented Sausages: A Comprehensive Review

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
Since the consumption of sodium nitrite is harmful to humans and this substance is used as an additive in fermented sausages, it is suggested to use plant substitutes for nitrite. In this article, it deals with a comprehensive review of the proposed plant substitutes and the different effects of these substitutes on the technological characteristics of

Haemato‐Urological Profile and Asymptomatic Urinary Tract Infection in Ghanaian Steady‐State Sickle Cell Disease Patients: A Case‐Control Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Due to the reduction in immunity caused by auto‐splenectomy and the consequent opsonic antibody shortage, patients with SCD are more susceptible to encapsulated organism infections, especially asymptomatic urinary tract infection (ASM‐UTI).
