The outermost hydrophobic layer of plants, i.e. the cuticle, is mainly composed of cutin, a polyester of hydroxy fatty acids with reported eliciting and/or antimicrobial activities for some of them.

The process two neutrino double beta decay (2νββ) is allowed by the standard model and has been measured in numerous experiments. In this Letter, we report a measurement of 2νββ decay half-life of ^{100}Mo to the ground state of ^{100}Ru of [7.

- Cerebral malaria (CM), caused by Plasmodium falciparum, leads to severe complications due to the clumping of infected red blood cells in brain microvessels and triggers significant inflammation and disruptions in the brain-blood barrier.
- Previous research suggests that terpenes like perillyl alcohol (POH) can combat these issues by reducing inflammation and protecting the brain's microvascular structures in experimental models of CM.
- The study demonstrated that POH effectively inhibited harmful endothelial changes induced by parasitized red blood cells, restored tight junction protein distribution, and improved the permeability of human brain endothelial cell layers, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent for cerebral malaria.
Cerebral malaria (CM), a fatal complication of Plasmodium infection that affects children, especially under the age of five, in sub-Saharan Africa and adults in South-East Asia, results from incompletely understood pathogenetic mechanisms. Increased release of circulating miRNA, proteins, lipids and extracellular vesicles has been found in CM patients and experimental mouse models. We compared lipid profiles derived from the plasma of CBA mice infected with ANKA (PbA), which causes CM, to those from (Py), which does not.

Objectives: The role of innate lymphoid cells (ILC), particularly helper ILC, in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is not well understood. Here, we present a comprehensive analysis of peripheral ILC subsets in MS patients prior and after alemtuzumab administration using mass cytometry.
Methods: Circulating ILC were analysed by mass cytometry in MS patients before and after alemtuzumab.
