ANTIFUNGAL POTENTIAL OF THE SKIN MICROBIOTA OF HIBERNATING BIG BROWN BATS (EPTESICUS FUSCUS) INFECTED WITH THE CAUSAL AGENT OF WHITE-NOSE SYNDROME

Antifungal Potential of the Skin Microbiota of Hibernating Big Brown Bats (Eptesicus fuscus) Infected With the Causal Agent of White-Nose Syndrome

Little is known about skin microbiota in the context of the disease white-nose syndrome (WNS), caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd), that has caused enormous declines of hibernating North American bats over the past decade.Interestingly, some hibernating species, such as the big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), appear resistant to th

Redox signaling modulates axonal microtubule organization and induces a specific phosphorylation signature of microtubule-regulating proteins

Many life processes are regulated by physiological redox signaling, but excessive oxidative stress can damage biomolecules and contribute to disease.Neuronal microtubules are critically involved in axon homeostasis, regulation of axonal transport, and neurodegenerative processes.However, whether and how physiological redox signaling affects axonal

Wire bristle foreign body: Never in the same place twice

Foreign body ingestion is a common reason for visiting the emergency room.Foreign bodies can lodge anywhere in the upper aerodigestive tract and can sometimes be difficult to extract.Wire bristles that dislodge from grill-cleaning wire brushes and which Spreaders are then accidentally swallowed can be particularly challenging to remove due to their

Synthesis of Heteroaromatic Compounds by Oxidative Aromatization Using an Activated Carbon/Molecular Oxygen System

A variety of heteroaromatic compounds, such as substituted pyridines, pyrazoles, indoles, 2-substituted imidazoles, 2-substituted imidazoles, 2-arylbenzazoles and pyrimidin-2(1H)-ones are synthesized by oxidative aromatization using CHAGA MUSHROOM the activated carbon and molecular oxygen system.Mechanistic study focused on the role of activated ca
