Grimontia hollisae, an uncommon cause of sepsis, was identified in a 9-month-old infant in Africa without confirmed seafood consumption. Prompt diagnosis through blood culture and targeted antibiotic therapy ensured recovery, emphasizing the need for increased awareness, enhanced diagnostic tools, and active monitoring of emerging pathogens in tropical and resource-limited regions. We present a case report involving a 9-month-old infant who exhibited symptoms of acute gastroenteritis.

In herbivore-damaged plants, activation of genes involved in defence responses is required for antiherbivore properties, but little is known about how the chromatin remodelling system is involved. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants responding to Spodoptera litura larvae, HAC1 and HDA6, a histone acetyltransferase and a histone deacetylase, respectively, were found here to be involved in histone H3 (Lys9; H3K9) acetylation/deacetylation at the promoter region of the plant defensin gene PDF1.

Although extensively studied in mammalian cells, research on LLPS formation and regulation in microorganisms remains limited. This review integrates insights from diverse studies exploring LLPS across microorganisms.

While the disease frequently affects renal blood vessels, it can also involve multiple other organ systems. This review examines the prevalence and clinical outcomes of aHUS patients with extrarenal involvement.

Providing power to remotely located sensors can pose significant challenges, especially when these sensors are positioned in the open sea or remote wilderness. The development of a durable, low-maintenance power system with an extended lifespan is of utmost importance, and this study is primarily motivated by this need. This research focuses on the design, modeling, and development of a system that combines a phase change material-thermoelectric generator (PCM-TEG) with a heat sink-coated radiative cooler (HS-RC).
