“…Results: In the histopathological examination, no degeneration was observed in the muscle fibers in the Group C, while findings of striated muscle damage such as muscle atrophy/hypertrophy, muscle degeneration/congestion, internalization of the muscle nucleus/oval/central nucleus, fragmentation/hyalinization and leukocyte cell infiltration were seen in the Group I/R. In Group S-I/R, muscle atrophy /hypertrophy, internalization of the muscle nucleus/oval/central nucleus, fragmentation/hyalinization, and leukocyte cell infiltration were observed to improve these damaged areas compared to Group I/R. …”

Thyroid hormone receptor- and stage-dependent transcriptome changes affect the initial period of Xenopus tropicalis tail regeneration by Shouhong Wang, Liezhen Fu, Bin Wang, Yanmei Cai, Jianping Jiang, Yun-Bo Shi

“…Results We discovered that GO (gene ontology) terms related to inflammatory response, metabolic process, cell apoptosis, and epithelial cell migration were highly enriched among commonly regulated genes during wound healing at either stage 56 or 61 or with either wild type (WT) or TRDKO tadpoles, consistent with the morphological changes associated with wound healing occurring in both regenerative (WT stage 56, TRDKO stage 56, TRDKO stage 61) and nonregenerative (WT stage 61) animals. …”

THE DANUBE DELTA BIOSPHERE RESERVE. GEOGRAPHY, BIODIVERSITY, PROTECTION, MANAGEMENT by PETRE GÂŞTESCU

“…Par sa position géographique, à 45º lat. nord et 29º long. est, le Delta du Danube synthétise dans lepaysage les traits des deltas des zones tempérées, étant utilisé par de nombreuses espèces d’oiseaux pour nicher, passer l’hiver ou pour transiter dans leur migration périodique des zones tropicales vers celles polaires du Nord. Grâce à ces particularités, le Delta du Danube se constitue en une région géographique qui exige une attention particulière pour son maintien dans les conditions les plus proches de celles naturelles et pour la protection des espèces d’oiseaux, certains en état de disparition. …”

Palmitoleic acid sensitizes vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to vancomycin by outpacing the expression of resistance genes by Zajeba Tabashsum, Michelle Angeles-Solano, Ashelyn E. Sidders, Joshua B. Parsons, Sarah E. Rowe

“…Vancomycin binds to the D-ala-D-ala terminus of the nascent peptidoglycan precursor lipid II, preventing cell wall biosynthesis. Vancomycin-resistant strains of S. aureus and Enterococci typically express a van gene cluster that is induced in response to vancomycin and results in the synthesis of an alternative lipid precursor with a peptide chain ending in D-ala-D-lac. …”

“…These results were complemented by the findings of the time-to-kill assay, where the same strain showed a 3.2 log₁₀ CFU/mL decrease in viable cell count. The process by which AgNPs boost activity entails the disruption of the fungal cell membrane and its internal components, probably as a result of silver ion release and the generation of free radicals. …”
