Mucor representatives are mostly rapidly growing cosmopolitan soil saprotrophs of early diverged Mucoromycotina subphylum. Although this is the most speciose genus within the group, some lineages are still understudied. In this study, new species of Mucor was isolated from the post-mining area in southwestern Poland, where soil chemical composition analysis revealed high concentration of hydrocarbons and heavy metals.

Elevated levels of receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (RORl) expression are observed in multiple hematological and solid tumors, but not in most of the healthy adult tissues, identifying ROR1 as an attractive target for tumor-specific therapy. Herein we will describe the discovery of macrocyclic peptides as binders of the extracellular Cysteine-Rich Domain (CRD) of human ROR1 via mRNA in vitro selection technology using the PDPS platform, followed by exploration of sidechain SAR of parent macrocycle peptides, fluorescently labeled analogs, and a Peptide Drug Conjugate (PDC). The parent macrocyclic peptides represented by Compound 1 and Compound 14 displayed nanomolar cell-based binding to ROR1 and relatively good internalization in 786-O and MDA-MB-231 tumor cell lines.

Fungi from the genus have been reported as plant pathogens, endophytes, and saprophytes on a wide range of host plants worldwide. Their precise identification is problematic since many species can colonize a single host plant, whereas the same species can inhabit many hosts. Recently, has been proven to be a rich source of bioactive secondary metabolites.

Studies on trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS) by facial cooling (FC) could give an insight to physiological mechanisms of cardiovascular response to activation of both parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. We hypothesised that trigeminal nerve stimulation would positively influence on the factors which increase left ventricle work. The aim of the present study was to investigate hemodynamic changes assessed by pulse wave analysis (PWA) in the very early phase of this reflex.
