Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells express a semi-invariant T cell receptor (TCR) that detects microbial metabolites presented by the nonpolymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC)–like molecule MR1. Th...

Abstract Background The complex relationship between the gut microbiome and immune system development during infancy is considered a key factor in the rising rates of pediatric allergic diseases. Food protein-induced all...

Background: Febrile illness in pediatric populations often poses a diagnostic challenge due to overlapping clinical features across various etiologies. While respiratory infections are common, urinary tract infections (U...

Abstract Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (CDs) were prepared from essential fluorescent amino acids, such as lysine (Lys), phenylalanine (Phe), tyrosine (Tyr), and tryptophan (Trp) by two routes, microwave and teflon-lined au...

ABSTRACT Microorganisms are expected to play vital roles in the development of sustainable societies, but this idea is still poorly understood by the general public. In addition, it would also be important for the future...

Abstract Man-made synthetic/manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) are increasingly used in almost every scientific sector, including pharmaceutical, agricultural, food, and drug industries worldwide. Rapid advances in nanotec...

Bone infection is a severe disease caused by microbial invasion of bone tissue, characterized by inflammatory responses, bone destruction, and impaired repair. Its high recurrence rate and refractory nature have posed si...

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is a common upper respiratory tract (URT) pathobiont with high carriage rates in the upper airway disease chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). CRS is associated with increased prevalence and abund...

The gut microbiota has co-evolved with its host and forms an essential component of the human body. It is acquired at birth and continues to develop alongside the host, preserving its diversity and stability throughout l...

Abstract Background Gas-phase bioprocesses that immobilize microbial cells on solid carriers enable efficient conversion of volatile or poorly water-soluble substrates. Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5 is a highly adhesive bacter...

Abstract Dormancy, as a microbial survival strategy, plays a crucial role in sustaining microbial diversity. However, the large-scale distribution patterns of microbial dormancy and drivers remain poorly understood. Here...

"We report extensive numerical simulations of the flow of anisotropic self-propelled particles through a constriction. In particular, we explore the role of the particles’ desired orientation with respect to the moving...

The host cell recognition and removal of invading pathogens are crucial for the control of microbial infections. However, several microorganisms have developed mechanisms that allow them to survive and replicate intracel...

Abstract Background Cervicovaginal microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated in the progression of cervical cancer. Recent studies have reported an increased abundance of Porphyromonas species in the vaginal microbiota of...

IntroductionAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by immune dysregulation, impaired epidermal barrier function, and recurrent episodes of itching and inflammation. Emerging evidence...

Antibiotics have been found extensively in the environment, particularly in groundwater, sediments, and surface water. The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify antibiotic-resistant bacteria from wastewater c...

Abstract Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has emerged as a novel approach for understanding anorexia nervosa (AN), a complex eating disorder characterized by severe underweight, fear of weight gain and distorted bo...

In this work, we studied the growth, survival and peptidolytic activity of Lactobacillus plantarum I91 in a hard-cheese model consisting of a sterile extract of Reggianito cheese. To assess the influence of the primary s...

The gut microbiota plays a central role in modulating both immunity and metabolism. Obesity-associated microbiota configuration is a critical driver of persistent inflammatory activation and immune dysfunction, ultimatel...

Ensuring microbial safety in drinking water remains a challenge, particularly for ageing infrastructure and complex treatment processes. Because water treatment works sit at the interface between source-water ecosystem i...

Mucinous cancers are characterized by tumor gland cells secreting copious amounts of mucus that forms gel-like structures. Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), a rare yet prototypical mucinous malignancy, exemplifies this patho...

Bacterial biofilm are complex microbial communities covered by a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances, which develops when a community of microorganisms irreversibly adheres to a living or inert surface. This str...

Abstract The food enzyme AMP deaminase (AMP aminohydrolase; EC 3.5.4.6) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus subtilis strain CCTCC M 2023264 by Angel Yeast Co., Ltd. The production strain of the food enzyme...
