Amalgamation of Metal Tolerant PGPR sp. EA20 with Birch Wood Biochar Enhanced Growth and Biofortification of Rapeseed under Copper Action.

Background: Amalgamation of metal-tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with biochar is a promising direction for the development of chemical-free biofertilizers that can mitigate environmental risks, enhance crop productivity and their biological value. The main objective of the work includes the evaluation of the influence of prepared bacterial biofertilizer (BF) on biometric growth parameters as well as physiological and biochemical characteristics of rapeseed ( L.) at copper action.

The impact of Parkinson's disease on striatal network connectivity and corticostriatal drive: An in silico study.

Striatum, the input stage of the basal ganglia, is important for sensory-motor integration, initiation and selection of behavior, as well as reward learning. Striatum receives glutamatergic inputs from mainly cortex and thalamus. In rodents, the striatal projection neurons (SPNs), giving rise to the direct and the indirect pathway (dSPNs and iSPNs, respectively), account for 95% of the neurons, and the remaining 5% are GABAergic and cholinergic interneurons.

Childlessness in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease - Data from the Prospective Multi-center Swiss IBD Cohort Study.

This study investigates childlessness and infertility in individuals diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Notably, the research reveals intriguing patterns related to gender and specific IBD subtypes. Among female patients with Crohn's disease (CD), a higher childlessness rate is observed compared to the general Swiss population.
