Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on finding bacteria that can break down common mycotoxins, specifically type A trichothecenes, found in stored cereal grains, using facultative anaerobe bacteria from chicken digestive systems.
- - Researchers produced these mycotoxins in the lab and tested a bacterial consortium, discovering that neosolaniol was degraded the most effectively, followed by HT-2 and T-2 toxins.
- - The study identified specific bacillus-shaped, Gram-positive bacteria that demonstrated strong capabilities to both inactivate and bind these mycotoxins, marking a significant advancement in bioremediation strategies for multiple type A trichothecenes.
Climate change models predict temperature increases, which may affect germination, an important stage in the recruitment of individuals in agroecosystems. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct research on how temperature will impact the germination of multipurpose native species. (Schltdl.

- - Urbanization, particularly air pollution from ozone (O), has negatively impacted urban forests, especially fir forests near Mexico City since the 1970s, leading to the decline of these ecosystems and raising concerns about their survival.
- - A study compared young symptomatic and asymptomatic fir trees exposed to varying levels of ozone, finding that asymptomatic trees had thicker epidermis and higher terpene concentrations, suggesting healthier responses to the pollution.
- - The research highlights significant genetic variation and phenotypic responses among trees, providing insights into ozone tolerance and potential strategies for forest restoration in urban areas.
One of the hallmarks of cancer is the expansion and accumulation of highly immunosuppressive myeloid cells known as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). To study MDSCs biology, differentiation from hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) is an useful tool to elucidate the biological and biochemical mechanisms associated with acquisition of immune suppressive activity and expansion in cancer. Although this is one of the protocols performed to study immune suppressive myeloid cells, differentiation of MDSCs from HPC is a method that allows to modify conditions of the supernatants used.
