Plant-associated halotolerant bacteria improving growth of Vicia faba L. Mariout-2 under salinity conditions

Scientific Reports
In this comprehensive investigation, we successfully isolated and characterized 40 distinct plant-associated halotolerant bacteria strains obtained from three halophytic plant species: Tamarix nilotica, Suaeda pruinosa, and Arthrocnemum macrostachyum ...

Lipopolysaccharide uptake is augmented in lipopolysaccharide‐tolerant mouse macrophage‐like cells via increased CD14 expression

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In normal (nontolerant) cells, CD14 is crucial for both LPS uptake and LPS signaling. In LPS‐tolerant cells, in which LPS‐induced TNF‐α and IFN‐β production is suppressed, there is a dramatic increase in surface CD14 expression. The overexpressed CD14 in LPS‐tolerant cells is responsible for the enhanced LPS uptake without inducing pro‐inflammatory ...

Significant impact of Bacillus licheniformis DW4, Salinicoccus sesuvii DW5 and Paenalcaligenes suwonensis DW7, in mitigation of seawater stress on the growth and productivity of Vicia Faba cultivated in Qalabshu semi-field soil

BMC Plant Biology
Background Salinity severely limits sensitive crops like Vicia faba in newly-reclaimed lands. Costly mitigation is unsustainable; Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) from halophytes provide a cheap, effective, eco-friendly solution to alleviate salt ...

Adaptability of the digestive function according to age at weaning in the rabbit: I. Effect on feed intake and digestive functionality

Animal, 2008
The functional adaptability of the digestive system to the level of feed intake was investigated in the young rabbits by comparing two groups of 12 litters each, weaned at 21 (W21) or 35 (W35) days of age.

Emerging insights into CC and CXC chemokines and their receptors in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The dual roles of CC and CXC chemokines in distinguishing active, latent, and subclinical tuberculosis were reviewed, along with an evaluation of their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets to advance precision medicine in tuberculosis management. The graphical abstract was generated with AI assistance (Gemini 3.0).

Soil Is Still an Unknown Biological System

Applied Sciences, 2020
More than a thousand million cells encompassing bacteria, fungi, archaea, and protists inhabit a handful of soil. The bacterial and fungal biomass can account for 1–2 and 2–5 tha−1 in temperate grassland soils, respectively.

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

One mechanism of Sishen Pill on diarrhea with kidney Yang deficiency syndrome: influencing metabolic function by intestinal microorganisms and enzyme activity mediates the gut-kidney axis

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
IntroductionSishen Pill (SSP), a classic TCM formula, warms the kidney and spleen, astringes the intestine, and stops diarrhea. Emerging evidence suggests that diarrhea with KYDS is linked to gut microbiota imbalance and altered intestinal enzyme ...
