Towards Biomimetic Recognition of Glycans by Synthetic Receptors
ChemPlusChem, Volume 89, Issue 4, April 2024.Glycans are ubiquitous in Nature and are fundamental to the biophysical behaviour and functionality of proteins. The development of synthetic receptors to target these complex guests is a major challenge in current research, which has stimulated the design of different structures to meet the chemical and geometrical requirements for effective ...

Recycling manure as cow bedding: potential benefits and risks for UK dairy farms [PDF]
, 2015 Material obtained from physical separation of slurry (recycled manure solids; RMS) has been used as bedding for dairy cows in dry climates in the US since the 1970s. Relatively recently, the technical ability to produce drier material has led to adoption

A dog with protothecosis in the Netherlands
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 12, Issue 1, March 2024.Abstract Prototheca spp. are parasitic algae that can infect humans, cattle, cats and dogs. Although it is rarely seen, if protothecosis occurs in dogs, it is often fatal due to dissemination of the algae and a poor response to treatment. A 3‐year‐old, Scottish Collie dog, female, neutered, was presented with large bowel diarrhoea, weight loss and ...

From Mendel to mycoses: Immuno‐genomic warfare at the human–fungus interface
Immunological Reviews, Volume 322, Issue 1, Page 28-52, March 2024.Summary Fungi are opportunists: They particularly require a defect of immunity to cause severe or disseminated disease. While often secondary to an apparent iatrogenic cause, fungal diseases do occur in the absence of one, albeit infrequently. These rare cases may be due to an underlying genetic immunodeficiency that can present variably in age of ...
