Electroactive Microbiomes: Electron Transfer Mechanisms and Environmental Biotechnology Applications. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Electroactive microbiomes couple direct, mediated, conductive, and interspecies electron transfer with biofilm organisation to drive wastewater treatment, bioremediation, resource recovery, carbon conversion, and biosensing. Their performance depends on balancing electron transfer, mass transport, community structure, and electrode–biofilm interactions

Immunoinformatics‐Based Design of a Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Targeting a Conserved Copper–Associated Protein in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neisseria gonorrhoeae poses an urgent public health challenge due to rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance and the absence of an effective vaccine. Targeting conserved bacterial pathways involved in essential physiological processes may provide new opportunities for vaccine antigen discovery.

Induction of intercrypt goblet cells upon bacterial infection: a promising therapeutic target to restore the mucosal barrier

Gut Microbes
Intestinal mucins play a crucial role in the mucosal barrier, serving as the body’s initial defense against microorganisms. However, how the host regulates the secretion and glycosylation of these mucins in response to bacterial invasion remains unclear.

Biogas production from Opuntia stricta Haw.: microbial diversity and solid load influence on sludge recycle systems

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for alternative and sustainable energy sources becomes urgent as energy demand increases and fossil fuels become less available, especially in water‐scarce regions such as the Brazilian semi‐arid region, where current projections of global warming and the expansion of arid and semi‐arid zones point to a future of desertification ...

Toxicity of 32.2 kDa MW Escherichia coli Pili Adhesin Isolated from Infertile Male Semen in Reproductive System

Folia Medica Indonesiana, 2018
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the leading cause of male genital tract infection with no symptoms of infertility. Protein E. coli pili hemagglutinin isolated from infertile male sperm with 32.2 kDa MW acts as adhesion in spermatozoa.

Timing Matters: A Meta‐Analysis of BREAST‐Q Administration in Tissue‐Expander and Implant‐Based Breast Reconstruction

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background BREAST‐Q is the most widely used patient‐reported outcome measure following breast reconstruction, yet no consensus exists on optimal timing or duration of administration. We analyzed BREAST‐Q follow‐up after implant‐based reconstruction, comparing direct‐to‐implant (DTI) and two‐stage tissue expander (TE), to determine how outcomes

Proteoforms in Disease: Biomedical Applications of Top‐Down Proteomics

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The proteome is a dynamic landscape of proteoforms arising from genetic mutations, alternative splicing, and post‐translational modifications (PTMs), which collectively drive biological function and disease phenotypes. Mass spectrometry (MS)‐based proteomics has emerged as an essential technique for elucidating this molecular complexity ...
