Influenza D virus in cattle (review) by S. V. Koteneva, A. G. Glotov, T. I. Glotova, A. V. Nefedchenko

“…This virus can replicate and be transmitted by direct contact in ferrets and guinea pigs, which are surrogate models of human influenza infection, as well as in well-differentiated human airway epithelial cells (hAECs). Currently five distinctive lineages of influenza D virus have been identified, co-circulating in worldwide bovine and pig populations that may facilitate genetic re-assortment between different viral strains. …”

Biosynthesized ZnO NPs loaded-electrospun PVA/sodium alginate/glycine nanofibers: synthesis, spinning optimization and antimicrobial activity evaluation by El-Refaie Kenawy, Elbadawy A. Kamoun, Amany Shehata, Shahira H. El-Moslamy, Adel A.-H. Abdel-Rahman

“…Results revealed that NF formula coded AS3.3; composed of (10%PVA/1.5%SA/10%CA/0.75%ZnO/0.5% glycine), in contrast to all the other formulations examined; showed marked reduced percentages of biofilm development of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in relation to fungal cells. The relative viable count for Bacillus cereus (98.40 ± 0.51%), Salmonella paratyphi (98.33 ± 0.79%), and Candida albicans (94.29 ± 0.76%) decreased significantly after 36-hour of incubation period with AS3.3 treatment. …”

Du toucher au geste technique : la « technè des corps » by Patricia Ribault

“…Cet article propose une analyse ontologique du geste technique à partir de considérations paléontologiques et philosophiques – notamment le concept d’imagination matérielle développé par Gaston Bachelard – avec pour point de départ le sens du toucher comme origine de la prothéticité de l’être humain, et un questionnement sur les limites de ce corps « dressé », dont la maîtrise, ainsi que celle de son milieu, est un enjeu de pouvoir et d’existence, mais aussi un risque.…”

Spore-Derived Isolates from a Single Basidiocarp of Bioluminescent <i>Omphalotus olivascens</i> Reveal Multifaceted Phenotypic and Physiological Variations by Rudy Diaz, David Bermudes

“…This same subset produced an anticancer agent that was highly potent against MDA-MB-468 breast cancer tumor cells. We interpret these variations in haploids as significant in altering <i>Omphalotus</i> physiology and its production of secondary metabolites, which may in turn alter their ecology and life cycle, and could be further applied to studying fungal physiologies and facilitate linking them to their genetic underpinnings.…”
