Autochthonous and DormantCryptococcus gattiiInfections in Europe [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Until recently, Cryptococcus gattii infections occurred mainly in tropical and subtropical climate zones. However, during the past decade, C. gattii infections in humans and animals in Europe have increased. To determine whether the infections in Europe were acquired from an autochthonous source or associated with travel, we used multilocus sequence ...

Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) and Stemflow: Drinking More Than Just Water

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Stemflow, water that flows down the outside of tree stems during precipitation events, is a type of free water used by koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) for drinking, alongside the moisture obtained from the Eucalyptus leaves consumed in their diet. The properties of stemflow in the context of its utilisation by animals are currently unknown. In

Diverse potential of chimeric antigen receptor‐engineered cell therapy: Beyond cancer

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
1. In theory, CAR‐engineering therapy can achieve therapeutic effects by targeting cells expressing specific antigens and thereby eliminating or regulating disease‐related cell subpopulations. 2. Although CAR‐engineering therapy is currently only approved for the treatment of cancer, it has also shown potential in non‐tumour diseases. 3.
