A reservoir of 'historical' antibiotic resistance genes in remote pristine Antarctic soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

KLK7 overexpression promotes an aggressive phenotype and facilitates peritoneal dissemination in colorectal cancer cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KLK7, a tissue kallikrein‐related peptidase, is elevated in advanced colorectal cancer and associated with shorter survival. High KLK7 levels in ascites correlate with peritoneal metastasis. In mice, KLK7 overexpression increases metastasis. In vitro, KLK7 enhances cancer cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and spheroid formation, driving ...

Prevalence of mobile genetic elements and transposase genes in Vibrio alginolyticus from the southern coastal region of China and their role in horizontal gene transfer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Vibrio alginolyticus has high genetic diversity, but little is known about the means by which it has been acquired. In this study, the distributions of mobile genetic elements (MGEs), including integrating conjugative elements (ICEs), superintegron-like ...

Molecular epidemiology of African sleeping sickness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Human sleeping sickness in Africa, caused by Trypanosoma brucei spp. raises a number of questions. Despite the widespread distribution of the tsetse vectors and animal trypanosomiasis, human disease is only found in discrete foci which periodically give ...

Maternal gut and breast milk microbiota affect infant gut antibiotic resistome and mobile genetic elements

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The infant gut microbiota has a high abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) compared to adults, even in the absence of antibiotic exposure. Here we study potential sources of infant gut ARGs by performing metagenomic sequencing of breast milk ...

Breast Cancer and Aging: Understanding the Complex Relationship and Implications for Prevention and Screening

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Breast cancer is a multifactorial disease that affects many women worldwide. Age is the most important risk factor for breast cancer, with an increased incidence markedly after the age of 50. The relationships of aging to breast cancer have been thoroughly examined, and notable connections regarding various age‐related changes in ...

Mobile transporter path planning [PDF]

open access: yes
The use of a genetic algorithm (GA) for solving the mobile transporter path planning problem is investigated. The mobile transporter is a traveling robotic vehicle proposed for the space station which must be able to reach any point of the structure ...

Enhancing Oncological Care for India's Aging Population: Addressing the Complex Needs of Older Adults With Cancer

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
Aging‐associated physiological and molecular alterations pose significant challenges in cancer management among India's elderly. Limited geriatric oncology expertise, financial constraints, and inadequate specialized care exacerbate disparities. Strategic expansion of insurance coverage, integration of palliative care, and infrastructural advancements ...

Cognitive Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis: The Role of Clinical and Sociodemographic Factors ‐ A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cognitive impairment (CI) affects the quality of life in multiple sclerosis (MS). Identifying influencing factors is key to improving CI monitoring. This systematic review and meta‐analysis examines clinical and sociodemographic variables impacting the cognitive screening Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) performance across MS ...
