In this study, we analysed the immune responses of blood‐derived monocyte macrophages and iPSC‐derived macrophages following BCG/HKMT infection. We found that iPSC‐derived macrophages displayed a markedly stronger activation profile, including faster migration, increased reactive oxygen species production, elevated apoptosis marker expression and ...

Broad-spectrum β-lactamases among Enterobacteriaceae of animal origin: molecular aspects, mobility and impact on public health [PDF]
Broad-spectrum β-lactamase genes (coding for extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC β-lactamases) have been frequently demonstrated in the microbiota of food-producing animals. This may pose a human health hazard since these genes may be present

ABSTRACT Over the years, numerous D‐ and z‐values have been published in the scientific literature. While these values initially appear to be valid criteria for assessing and comparing the heat resistance of different microorganisms under the same conditions or the same microorganism under different conditions, this is not always the case.

Iron‐related intercellular communication in the liver: Main players and mechanisms
Iron exchange between liver cell types is vital for organism health, yet its mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this review, we address intercellular communication governing hepatic iron regulation across different liver diseases. We summarize recent insights into how hepatocytes, macrophages, endothelial and stellate cells coordinate iron storage,

First record of feather-loss disorder in Antarctic penguins [PDF]
Little is known about diseases affecting Antarctic wildlife (Kerry & Riddle 2009). Understanding the patterns, causes and effects of disease in these populations is crucial as many of these species are already threatened by rapid environmental changes ...

Thyroid Abscess Caused by Quinolone‐Resistant Salmonella spp.: A Case Report
Background Thyroid abscesses are extremely rare due to the physiological properties of the thyroid gland; however, pre‐existing thyroid disease and immunosuppression may predispose individuals to bacterial infections, including Salmonella spp., which may present solely as a rapidly enlarging inflammatory swelling without gastrointestinal symptoms. Case

Research Progress of Microfluidics in Radiopharmaceutical Quality Control
A complete PET imaging process includes five key steps: nuclide production, PET tracer synthesis, packaging, quality control and PET scanning. Taking the most classical synthesis process of [18F ]‐FDG tracer as an example, its synthesis process includes several core steps, such as: (1) the synthesis of [18F ]‐FDG Tracer, (2) the synthesis of [18F ]‐FDG
