HIV gp120 binds to mannose receptor on vaginal epithelial cells and induces production of matrix metalloproteinases. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: During sexual transmission of HIV in women, the virus breaches the multi-layered CD4 negative stratified squamous epithelial barrier of the vagina, to infect the sub-epithelial CD4 positive immune cells.

The ketolide antibiotics HMR 3647 and HMR 3004 are active against Toxoplasma gondii in vitro and in murine models of infection [PDF]
Ketolides are a new class of macrolide antibiotics that have been shown to be active against a variety of bacteria including macrolide-resistant bacteria and mycobacteria. We examined two ketolides, HMR 3647 and HMR 3004, for their in vitro and in vivo activities against the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii.

Step‐Associated Cu‐Ceria Interfaces Enhance Catalytic Activity and Selectivity
The catalytic activity and selectivity of supported Cu nanoparticles depends on their interfacial environments, with Cu nanoparticles at step‐associated environments converting CO2 to methanol much faster than those on terrace facets, indicating that step sites create more active metal–oxide interfaces.
