Extra-intestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) can cause a variety of infections outside of the intestine and are a major causative agent of urinary tract infections.Treatment of these infections is increasingly frustrated by antimicrobial resistance (AMR) diminishing the number of effective therapies available to clinicians.Incidence of mult
Cystine/glutamate antiporter xCT deficiency reduces metastasis without impairing immune system function in breast cancer mouse models
Abstract Background The upregulation of antioxidant mechanisms is a common occurrence in cancer cells, as they strive to maintain balanced redox state and prevent oxidative damage.This includes the upregulation of the cystine/glutamate antiporter xCT, which plays a crucial role in protecting cancer cells from oxidative stress.Consequently, targetin
Research Advances in Graphene Oxide Composites for Uranium Adsorption
Due to its read more excellent adsorption properties, graphene oxide has attracted great attention in the field of radioactive wastewater treatment.The adsorption properties of graphene oxide can be further improved with functional modification.The paper introduces the adsorption properties and mechanism of graphene oxide for uranium.According to d
The earthquake of 1926 in Padang Panjang, West Sumatra
This study explores contemporary newspaper narratives on the devastation read more caused by the earthquake of 1926 in Padang Panjang, West Sumatra.These narratives become crucial amid the difficulty of finding historical statistical data for disaster studies that depict the chaotic situation caused by natural disasters in the past.Historical metho
Chemical Cues Induced from Fly-Oviposition Mediate the Host-Seeking Behaviour of Fopius arisanus (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), an Effective Egg Parasitoid of Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae), within a Tritrophic Context
Fopius arisanus is a solitary endoparasitoid that parasitizes a variety of tephritid species.Native to the Indo-Australian region, it is currently exploited worldwide as a biological control agent due to its exceptional efficiency in reducing pest populations.The efficiency of any biological control program is affected by the host location ability
