We investigated respiratory virus epidemiology in older adults across pre-pandemic (2007–2019), pandemic (2020–2022), and post-pandemic (2023–2024) periods, focusing on how public health interventions shaped surveillance, prevalence...

Background: Airborne transmission of bacteria, viruses, and fungal spores poses a major threat in enclosed settings, particularly nursing homes where residents are highly vulnerable. Compressive Heating Air Sterilization Technology (CHAST) applies co...

Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. (A. macrocephala), a medicinal plant extensively used in traditional Chinese medicine, is greatly susceptible to root rot under continuous monoculture, leading to serious yield and quality losses. To develop a sustain...

Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila) infection is characterized by a wide spectrum of manifestations, from influenza-like illness to life-threatening atypical pneumonia with multiorgan failure. The aim of our study was the assessment of in vitro a...

This retrospective review traces personal encounters along the complex path of plant yellowing diseases—graft-transmissible disorders historically attributed to elusive viruses, but later linked to phloem-invading, wall-less bacteria known as M...

The gut microbiome has emerged lately as a cornerstone of human (patho)physiology, intricately involved in the complex regulation of the immune system, metabolic pathways, and neurobehavioral patterns [...]

Seaweeds are promising third-generation biomass for biobased chemicals, yet their use for lactic acid (LA) production remains underexplored. We evaluated LA production from the dilute-acid hydrolysate of the aquacultured green alga Capsosiphon fulves...

The long-term application of traditional chemical herbicides has caused a significant escalation in herbicide resistance of barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli). As an eco-friendly alternative, biological herbicides demonstrate substantial applica...

Nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5), an osmosensitive transcription factor, has been shown to protect against coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3)-induced myocarditis but is susceptible to cleavage by viral proteases. Identifying agents that upregulate...

Biofilm formation is a key factor in microbial survival and persistence, often contributing to reduced antimicrobial susceptibility. This systematic literature review investigates whether increased biofilm formation correlates with decreased antibiot...
