Exploring Virulence Determinants of Filamentous Fungal Pathogens through Interactions with Soil Amoebae

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Infections with filamentous fungi are common to all animals, but attention is rising especially due to the increasing incidence and high mortality rates observed in immunocompromised human individuals. Here, Aspergillus fumigatus and other members of its

From Adult to Adolescent: Alignment in Clinical Trials and Outcomes in Axial Spondyloarthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of chronic inflammatory diseases encompassing axial and peripheral forms, with up to 20% of patients developing symptoms before age 16. Despite this substantial pediatric burden, treatment options for juvenile‐onset SpA (JSpA), particularly those with axial disease (axJSpA), remain limited.

A novel planctomycetotal isolate from subsurface percolates belongs to the novel species Anatilimnocola aquadivae sp. nov. in the family Pirellulaceae

Scientific Reports
The family Pirellulaceae (phylum Planctomycetota) is known for its environmental versatility, with members isolated from marine habitats, algal surfaces, soil and lakes; yet, no member has been isolated from terrestrial subsurface habitats.

Discrepancies Between Micro Versus Macroscale Viscoelastic Properties in a Microplastic‐Tissue Composite Model

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the discrepancies between bulk mechanics and spatial mapping in a tissue‐mimetic hydrogel model. Microplastic particles create localized stiff mechanical microenvironments that are detectable by cellular‐scale nanoindentation but leave bulk properties unchanged as measured by rheology.

Influence of nontrophic interactions between benthic invertebrates on river sediment processes: a microcosm study [PDF]

, 2004
The main objective of this study was to measure the impact of benthic invertebrate diversity on river sediment processes. We quantified the effects of interactions between three taxa (asellids, chironomid larvae, and tubificid worms).

Organic Wastes as Feedstocks for Non-Conventional Yeast-Based Bioprocesses

Microorganisms, 2019
Non-conventional yeasts are efficient cell factories for the synthesis of value-added compounds such as recombinant proteins, intracellular metabolites, and/or metabolic by-products. Most bioprocess, however, are still designed to use pure, ideal sugars,

Wearable Smart Patches on Sustainable Chitosan With Reversible Microbial Growth‐Inhibitory Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chitosan, a polysaccharide upcycled from biowaste, has long promised sustainable, biocompatible, and antimicrobial films and devices, an appeal reinforced by its recent regulatory recognition, with several chitosan‐based antibacterial dressings gaining clearance through the Food and Drug Administration's 510(k) pathway.

Plant ectoparasitic nematodes prefer roots without their microbial enemies [PDF]

, 2009
Root-feeding nematodes are major soil-borne pests in agriculture. In natural ecosystems, their abundance can be strongly controlled by natural enemies.

The rhizosphere microbiome and plant health [PDF]

, 2012
The diversity of microbes associated with plant roots is enormous, in the order of tens of thousands of species. This complex plant-associated microbial community, also referred to as the second genome of the plant, is crucial for plant health.
