Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health issue of growing concern. According to projections from the Worldwide Health Observatory, it is currently one of the rapidly increasing contributors to global mortality. The prevalence of CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasing globally.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous group of lipid membrane-enclosed compartments that contain different biomolecules and are released by almost all living cells, including fungal genera. Fungal EVs contain multiple bioactive components that perform various biological functions, such as stimulation of the host immune system, transport of virulence factors, induction of biofilm formation, and mediation of host-pathogen interactions. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on EVs of human pathogenic fungi, mainly focusing on their biogenesis, composition, and biological effects.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on creating a lead-free material system (BaCa)TiOBi(MgTi)O (BCT-BMT) and analyzing its properties as the BMT content increased from 0 to 0.5 using solid-state techniques.
  • X-ray diffraction revealed that the structure changed from tetragonal at BMT = 0 to cubic at BMT ≥ 0.1, while the Curie temperature dropped and the ferroelectric properties diminished with higher BMT content.
  • Increased BMT led to higher dc resistivity and activation energy, with noticeable changes in electrical characteristics, including a maximum strain of 0.12% for BMT = 0.2, indicating a transition to linear dielectric and

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) loaded with proteins, nucleic acids, membrane lipids, and other virulence factors could participate in pathogenic processes in some fungi such as and . However, the specific characteristics of EVs derived from (TM) still have not been figured out yet. In the present study, it has been observed that TM-derived EVs were a heterogeneous group of nanosized membrane vesicles (30-300 nm) under nanoparticle tracking analysis and transmission electron microscopy.

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the most common hereditary disorders affecting neonates worldwide. CH is a multifactorial complex disorder and can be caused by either environmental factors or genetic factors. We studied one Pakistani family with segregating mutations in CH inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.

Intellectual disability (ID) is a highly heterogeneous genetic condition with more than a thousand genes described so far. By exome sequencing of two consanguineous families presenting hallmark features of ID, we identified two homozygous variants in two genes previously associated with autosomal recessive ID: (c.1966G>A; p.
