Toward Virulence Inhibition: Beyond Cell Wall.

(Mtb) is one of the most successful bacterial pathogens in human history. Even in the antibiotic era, Mtb is widespread and causes millions of new cases of tuberculosis each year. The ability to disrupt the host's innate and adaptive immunity, as well as natural persistence, complicates disease control.

[Paraneoplastic opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome].

Opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome (OMS) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by a combination of main symptoms: opsoclonus, myoclonus, ataxia, psychoemotional and behavioral disturbances. OMS can develop in children as a result of immunopathological processes against the background of infectious or oncological pathology and lead to persistent neurological deficit. A case of ten-year observation of paraneoplastic OMS associated with neuroblastoma in a child is presented.

Nonlinearity vs nonlocality with emphasis on bandwidth broadening in semiconductor-based 1d metamaterials.

The physics of nonlinear optical materials is incredibly versatile, with the design of novel materials and structures offering numerous degrees of freedom. Nevertheless, weak inherent nonlinearity of conventional optical materials continues to hinder the progress of a number of important applications. In this study, we delve into the realm of broadband enhancement of nonlinearity within one-dimensional (1d) plasmonic metamaterials, exploring its intricate connection with nonlocality.

The Benefits of Toxicity: VapBC TA Module Is Induced by Tetracycline Exposure and Promotes Survival.

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widely present in bacterial genomes. , a common model organism for studying physiology, has eight TA loci, including and . This study aims to investigate the physiological significance of these TA systems.
