Role of the employment status and education of mothers in the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in Mexican rural schoolchildren [PDF]

, 2006
<p><b>Background:</b> Intestinal parasitic infections are a public health problem in developing countries such as Mexico. As a result, two governmental programmes have been implemented: a) "National Deworming Campaign" and b ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Identification of a new intestinal spirochete with pathogenicity for chickens [PDF]

, 1995
Two intestinal spirochete isolates obtained from chickens with diarrhea were examined by electron microscopy, biochemical tests, rRNA gene restriction pattern analysis, and multilocus enzyme electrophoresis.

Prevalence of intestinal protozoa infection among school-aged children on Pemba Island, Tanzania, and effect of single-dose albendazole, nitazoxanide and albendazole-nitazoxanide. [PDF]

, 2013
Pathogenic intestinal protozoa infections are common in school-aged children in the developing world and they are frequently associated with malabsorption syndromes and gastrointestinal morbidity.

Exploring the underlying mechanisms behind poor faecal integrity in yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi): The role of dietary starch level and amylase supplementation

Aquaculture Reports
This study explored potential underlying mechanisms (e.g. chyme characteristics, fermentation, and intestinal morphology), that contribute to the negative effect of high dietary starch on faecal integrity in yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi ...

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Combined supplementation with isochlorogenic acid and quercetagetin ameliorates dexamethasone-induced intestinal injury via attenuation of oxidative stress and inflammation

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
Oxidative stress is a critical factor impairing intestinal function and homeostasis in broilers, particularly under dexamethasone (DEX)-induced conditions.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Effects of dietary polyphenol-rich grape products on intestinal microflora and gut morphology in broiler chicks

, 2011
Grapes have high amounts of phenolic compounds, which can modulate the gut activity as well as modify the structure and function of the gastrointestinal tract.

Macrophage-derived extracellular vesicle-packaged WNTs rescue intestinal stem cells and enhance survival after radiation injury

Nature Communications, 2016
The intestinal stroma secretes WNT ligands but the role of WNT in intestinal repair is unclear. Here, the authors show that when WNT synthesis is ablated from stromal macrophages, the intestine morphology is normal but hypersensitive to radiation injury,
