Macrophages are a type of immune cell that can be found in large numbers within the TME and have been shown to have a role in the suppression of immune responses in cancer. This mmune suppression can contribute to cancer development and tumors' ability to evade the immune system.

Microorganisms within the polymicrobial biofilm (PMB) reveal various transcriptional profiles and affect each other which might influence their pathogenicity and antibiotic tolerance and subsequent worsening of the biofilm infection. P.

Due to the increase in invasive procedures, blood transfusions, and difficulties in diagnosing OBI, patients are more likely to acquire OBI. This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the prevalence of OBI by hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA detection, the prevalence of HBV infection by total hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) detection, and the potential risk factors for HBV infection in patients receiving haemodialysis regularly.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacteria that causes a large range of human infections such as lung infection (cystic fibrosis) and urinary tract infection. Even worse, antibiotic resistant bacteria have become a serious health care problem throughout the last decade, and there is a need for a clear approach to regulate and prevent the spread of pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance.
Methods: A complete analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa proteomics data showed that 25% of proteins are hypothetical proteins (HPs) whose function is not precisely defined.
