This article presents a multidisciplinary research project that involves a digital application developed for ikat weaving communities from Chonnabot District in Khon Kaen Province in Thailand. The app is aimed at generat...

Linum album is a herbaceous medicinal plant that contains some lignans with antiviral and anticancer properties such as podophyllotoxin (PTOX) and 6-methoxy podophyllotoxin (MPTOX). In this research, hairy root cultures...

α-L-Arabinofuranosidase, α- and β-D-xylosidase, and β-D-glucosidase activity was detected in the soluble fraction (S-F) extracted with water and in the NaCl-released fraction (NaCl-F) extracted with a high-salt conce...

Cultures of hybridoma cells in bioreactors are commonly used to produce monoclonal antibodies. As an alternative to nonlinear model predictive control, which has recently been applied successfully to optimize the process...

A screening of metabolites guided by antimicrobial and citotoxic bioassays was conducted with several fungi. The bioactive compounds were isolated and identified from the active extracts. Fil: Levy, Lea Monica. Universid...

This study explores how social media users resist dominant objectifying discourses about physical appearance and sexual attraction on Reddit. Drawing on objectification theory and Foucauldian perspectives on power and su...

It is well known that pituitary TSH exerts the major task in the regulation of thyroid function. However, this gland is capable of certain degree of autonomy, independently of TSH control. Iodine plays an important role ...

High histamine content in salted-ripened fish results in food safety detriment. The present study focused on the assembly of mixed cultures from halophilic prokaryotes isolated during salting-ripening anchovy process in ...

Lactic acid bacteria can be considered as natural biopreservative and good biotechnological alternative to food safety. In this study, the antilisterial compounds produced by Enterococcus isolates from the Patagonian env...

Infected prostheses are usually removed from patients when this infection is difficult or impossible to treat. In this context, an unprecedented physical phenomenon, “bacterial cell migration”, by which bacteria from...

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the leading healthcare-associated infections worldwide, and S. aureus is the most prevalent cause. Antimicrobial resistance, dormant cells, and biofilm formation contribute to tr...

Postharvest green and blue molds caused mainly by Penicillium digitatum and P. italicum conduce to economic losses in citrus production. Here, the potential antifungal activity of four lactobacilli strains was assessed a...

Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) combines the use of photosensitizers with visible light to produce reactive oxygen species that effectively eliminate pathogens. To investigate the impact of near- infrared therapy (NIRT) ...

It is known that bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor (B2R) is expressed in the collecting duct (CD) cells of the newborn rat kidney, but little is known about its role during early postnatal life. Therefore, we hypothesize that ...

Starter cultures of Lactobacillus helveticus used in hard cooked cheeses play an important role in flavor development. In this work, we studied the capacity of three strains of L. helveticus, two autochthonous (Lh138 and...
