International Journal of Endocrinology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Thyroid disorders are a common endocrine condition globally, affecting various bodily systems and metabolism. Changes in thyroid function affect smell and taste; yet, many patients remain unaware of their dysosmia and dysgeusia. Currently, there is a lack of detailed information regarding changes in physiological taste thresholds across different taste

Interference with the germination and growth of Ulvazoospores by quorum-sensing molecules from Ulva-associated epiphytic bacteria [PDF]
, 2013 Ulva zoospores preferentially settle on N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) producing marine bacterial biofilms. To investigate whether AHL signal molecules also affect the success and rate of zoospore germination in addition to zoospore attraction, the ...

Rice and bean AHL-mimic quorum-sensing signals specifically interfere with the capacity to form biofilms by plant-associated bacteria [PDF]
, 2013 Many bacteria regulate their gene expression in response to changes in their population density in a process called quorum sensing (QS), which involves communication between cells mediated by small diffusible signal molecules termed autoinducers.

Quorum Sensing Activity of Aeromonas Caviae Strain YL12, A Bacterium Isolated from Compost
Sensors, 2014 Quorum sensing is a well-studied cell-to-cell communication method that involves a cell-density dependent regulation of genes expression mediated by signalling molecules. In this study, a bacterium isolated from a plant material compost pile was found to

Host-selected mutations converging on a global regulator drive an adaptive leap towards symbiosis in bacteria [PDF]
, 2017 Host immune and physical barriers protect against pathogens but also impede the establishment of essential symbiotic partnerships. To reveal mechanisms by which beneficial organisms adapt to circumvent host defenses, we experimentally evolved ...
