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

open access: yesAustral 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

Ergosterol‐induced immune response in barley involves phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol phosphate metabolic enzymes and activation of diterpene biosynthesis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 3, Page 1236-1255, May 2025.
Summary Lipids play crucial roles in plant–microbe interactions, functioning as structural components, signaling molecules, and microbe‐associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). However, the mechanisms underlying lipid perception and signaling in plants remain largely unknown. Here, we investigate the immune responses activated in barley (Hordeum vulgare)

Deep Learning Combined with Quantitative Structure‒Activity Relationship Accelerates De Novo Design of Antifungal Peptides

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 13, April 3, 2025.
Drug resistance remains a serious threat to human health and the planet's ecology. Using deep learning integrated with quantitative structure‒activity relationship, 49 highly active antifungal peptides are de novo designed. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate these peptides' potential to minimize the risk of resistance development in pathogens ...

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

open access: yesChemistry &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 ...

Cryptococcus neoformans Biofilm Formation and Quantification

open access: yesCurrent Protocols, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that heads the Fungal Priority Pathogen List published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2022. This pathogen is a primary cause of death for immunocompromised individuals (e.g., those with HIV/AIDS, the elderly, immunotherapy recipients), causing approximately 118,000 deaths ...

Clinical implement of Probe‐Capture Metagenomics in sepsis patients: A multicentre and prospective study

open access: yesClinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Probe‐Capture Metagenome had a significantly higher positive rate than blood culture (51.6% vs. 17.4%, p < .001). Combining blood culture and RT‐PCR results, Probe‐Capture Metagenome achieved a consistency rate of 91.8%. Antibiotics were adjusted in 34.8% of patients based on Probe‐Capture Metagenome results, and 22.3% of patients experienced a more ...
