Lignocellulose pretreatment in a fungus-cultivating termite

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017
Significance Fungus-cultivating termites are icons of ecologically successful herbivores in (sub)tropical ecosystems, cultivating Termitomyces fungi for overcoming the rigid lignin barrier of wood resources. To date, research on these ectosymbiotic fungi

Micro‐ and Nano‐Bots for Infection Control

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review presents a strategic vision for integrating micro‐ and nanobots in the pipeline for infection diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To develop these robots as a practical solution for infection management, their design principles are clarified based on their propulsion mechanisms and then categorized infection management domains based on ...

Oligocene Termite Nests with In Situ Fungus Gardens from the Rukwa Rift Basin, Tanzania, Support a Paleogene African Origin for Insect Agriculture

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Based on molecular dating, the origin of insect agriculture is hypothesized to have taken place independently in three clades of fungus-farming insects: the termites, ants or ambrosia beetles during the Paleogene (66–24 Ma).

A Natural Lignification Inspired Super‐Hard Wood‐Based Composites with Extreme Resilience

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Super‐hard wood‐based composites (WBC) are designed and developed inspired by the mesoscale homogeneous lignification process intrinsic to tree growth. This innovative hybrid structure is achieved by leveraging the infusion of low‐molecular‐weight phenol formaldehyde resin into the cell walls of thin wood slices, followed by a unique multi‐layer ...

Combining CD34+ stem cell selection with prophylactic pathogen and leukemia directed T‐cell immunotherapy to simultaneously reduce graft versus host disease, infection, and leukemia recurrence after allogeneic stem cell transplant

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 159-165, January 2023., 2023
Donor stem cell product undergoes CD34 stem cell selection. CD34 positive stem cells are used for transplantation. Pathogen‐ and leukemia‐specific T‐cells are manufactured from CD34 negative fraction and infused prophylactically 21 days after transplant.

Recent introduction of a chytrid fungus endangers Western Palearctic salamanders

open access: yesScience, 2014
A new, yet old, threat to amphibians Globally, populations of amphibians have been severely affected by a disease caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Recently, some European salamander populations were decimated by the emergence of a new,

Stress Response of Aspergillus niger Spores to Copper Surfaces and the Implications for Antifungal Surface Functionalization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study investigates the antifungal efficacy of ultrashort pulsed laser‐induced periodic surface structures (USP‐DLIP) on copper, brass, and steel surfaces. Using Aspergillus niger as a model, the research highlights a 99% reduction in spore viability on 9 µm structured copper surfaces due to enhanced copper ion release. Scanning electron microscopy

Cutaneous T‐cell lymphomas: 2023 update on diagnosis, risk‐stratification, and management

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 193-209, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Disease Overview Cutaneous T‐cell lymphomas are a heterogenous group of T‐cell neoplasms involving the skin, the majority of which may be classified as Mycosis Fungoides (MF) or Sézary Syndrome (SS). Diagnosis The diagnosis of MF or SS requires the integration of clinical and histopathologic data.
