ReDisX, a machine learning approach, rationalizes rheumatoid arthritis and coronary artery disease patients uniquely upon identifying subpopulation differentiation markers from their genomic data.

Diseases originate at the molecular-genetic layer, manifest through altered biochemical homeostasis, and develop symptoms later. Hence, symptomatic diagnosis is inadequate to explain the underlying molecular-genetic abnormality and individual genomic disparities. The current trends include molecular-genetic information relying on algorithms to recognize the disease subtypes through gene expressions.

Environmental filtering drives the establishment of the distinctive rhizosphere, bulk, and root nodule bacterial communities of in hilly and gully regions of the Loess Plateau of China.

In addition to the rhizobia, other non-rhizobial endophytes (NREs) have been simultaneously isolated from the root nodules. The existence of NREs in leguminous root nodules is a universal phenomenon, and they have the potential to enhance legume survival, especially under conditions of environmental stress. However, the diversity and biogeographic patterns of microbial communities inhabiting root nodules are not well studied or understood.

Sphingopyxis yananensis sp. nov., a novel 2-nitropropane degrading bacterium isolated from a microbial fermentation bed substrate.

A rod-shaped, Gram-negative staining strain, FBM22, was isolated from a microbial fermentation bed substrate from a pig farm. Its colonies appeared yellow and were 0.5-1.

sp. nov., a novel denitrification actinobacterium isolated from microbial fermentation bed material from a pig farm.

An opaque, pink-coloured, gram-positive, aerobic bacteria (designated as FBM22-1), was isolated from microbial fermentation bed material from a pig farm in northwestern China. Optimal growth occurred at 30-37 °C, pH 7.0 and with 0.

CTHRC1 is a Potential Prognostic Biomarker and Correlated with Macrophage Infiltration in Breast Cancer.

Background: Tumor immune cell infiltration is closely associated with the occurrence and development of tumors. Collagen triple helix repeats containing 1 (CTHRC1), a regulator of collagen expression and cell migration, is involved in the metastasis and invasion of tumors. However, the role of CTHRC1 in breast cancer remains unclear.

Crosstalk Between Four Types of RNA Modification Writers Characterizes the Tumor Immune Microenvironment Infiltration Patterns in Skin Cutaneous Melanoma.

The "writers" of four types of adenosine (A)-related RNA modifications (N6-methyladenosine, N1-methyladenosine, alternative polyadenylation, as well as A-to-inosine RNA editing) are closely related to the tumorigenesis and progression of many cancer types, including skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM). However, the potential roles of the crosstalk between these RNA modification "writers" in the tumor microenvironment (TME) remain unclear. The RNA modification patterns were identified using an unsupervised clustering method.

One Biosurfactant-Producing Bacteria sp. A-8 and Its Potential Use in Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery and Bioremediation.

Biosurfactant plays an important role in bioremediation of crude oil contamination and microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR). In the present study, a salt-tolerant, biosurfactant-producing bacterium, designated A-8, was isolated from wastewater contaminated with petroleum collected from the Changqing reservoir in China. A phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA sequence suggests that strain A-8 belongs to the genus .

Protocatechuic acid attenuates lipolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury.

Protocatechuic acid (PCA) is a major metabolite of anthocyanins. It has numerous pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumoral activities. In the present study, we investigated the in vivo protective effect of PCA on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipolysaccharide (LPS) in mice.
