Altered Nasal Microbiota in Sinonasal Tumors: A Comparative Analysis of Malignant and Benign Sinonasal Tumors

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although shifts in nasal microbiota have been well‐documented in inflammatory upper airway conditions, microbiota tumor‐associated alterations remain uncharacterized. This study is the first to compare sinonasal microbiota profiles of patients with malignant tumors (MT), benign tumors (BT), and controls, offering insights into tumor‐

Overview of Trends in the Application of Metagenomic Techniques in the Analysis of Human Enteric Viral Diversity in Africa’s Environmental Regimes

Viruses, 2018
There has been an increase in the quest for metagenomics as an approach for the identification and study of the diversity of human viruses found in aquatic systems, both for their role as waterborne pathogens and as water quality indicators.

Viral Communities Contribute More to the Lysis of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria than the Transduction of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Anaerobic Digestion Revealed by Metagenomics

Environmental Science and Technology
Ecological role of the viral community on the fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) (reduction vs proliferation) remains unclear in anaerobic digestion (AD).

Potential Applications of Human Viral Metagenomics and Reference Materials: Considerations for Current and Future Viruses

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020
Viruses are ubiquitous particles comprising genetic material that can infect bacteria, archaea, and fungi, as well as human and other animal cells. Given that determining virus composition and function in association with states of human health and ...

Anti‐inflammatory and osteogenic effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in knee osteoarthritis rats via the regulation of the intestinal microbiota

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) improved knee osteoarthritis (KOA) in rats by regulating interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), IL‐6, and IL‐8 expressions and the bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP‐2)/transforming growth factor β (TGF‐β) signaling pathway.

Surveillance of Viruses in Varroa destructor Samples Collected from Honey Bee Colonies in Ontario, Canada, between 2015 and 2019

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2022
Varroa destructor parasitism is associated with extreme honey bee (Apis mellifera) colony losses in the northern hemisphere. Varroa destructor causes severe damage, including a decrease in bee longevity and immunosuppression, and acts as a vector for ...

Aquatic viral metagenomics: Lights and shadows

Virus Research, 2017
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, exceeding bacteria in most of the ecosystems. Specially in oceans, viruses are thought to be the major planktonic predators shaping microorganism communities and controlling ocean biological capacity. Plankton lysis by viruses plays an important role in ocean nutrient and energy cycles.

Host-Associated Bacteriophage Isolation and Preparation for Viral Metagenomics [PDF]

, 2018
Prokaryotic viruses, or bacteriophages, are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea. These viruses have been known to associate with host systems for decades, yet only recently have their influence on the regulation of host-associated bacteria been ...

Metagenomics in Virology

, 2021
Metagenomics, i.e., the sequencing and analysis of genomic information extracted directly from clinical or environmental samples, has become a fundamental tool to explore the viral world. Against the background of an extensive viral diversity revealed by
