Plants undergo dynamic metabolic changes at the cellular level upon insect infestation to better defend themselves.Phenylpropanoids, a hub of secondary plant metabolites, encompass a wide range of compounds that can contribute to insect resistance.Here, the Vacuum Hepa Filter role of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) phenylpropanoids in providing defense a
Evaluation of Microbial Contamination of Dried Black Curd (Gharahghorut) Produced in Iran
Background and objectives: Dried Black Curd (DBC), also known as Gharahghorut (Persian), is a dairy product produced from curd of yogurt or doogh.The aim of this study was to evaluate microbial contamination of industrially and traditionally produced DBC in Iran.Methods: Four DBC brands holding certification of the Institute of Standards and Indust
Biodistribution and Biosafety of a Poly(Phosphorhydrazone) Dendrimer, an Anti-Inflammatory Drug-Candidate
Collectibles Dendrimers are nanosized, arborescent polymers of which size and structure are perfectly controlled.This is one reason why they are widely used for biomedical purposes.Previously, we showed that a phosphorus-based dendrimer capped with anionic azabisphosphonate groups (so-called ABP dendrimer) has immuno-modulatory and anti-inflammator
Impact of low-level-viremia on HIV-1 drug-resistance evolution among antiretroviral treated-patients.
BACKGROUND: Drug-resistance mutations (DRAM) are frequently selected in patients with virological failure defined as viral load (pVL) above 500 copies/ml (c/mL), but few resistance data are available at low-level viremia (LLV).Our objective was to determine the emergence and evolution of DRAM during LLV in HIV-1-infected patients while receiving an
Multi-Omics Reveal the Efficient Phosphate-Solubilizing Mechanism of Bacteria on Rocky Soil
Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can alleviate available phosphorus (AP)-deficiency without hypo treatments causing environmental pollution like chemical phosphate fertilizers.However, the research and application of PSB on the barren rocky soil is very rare.We screened six PSB from sweetpotato rhizosphere rocky soil.Among them, Ochrobactrum h
