Harnessing microbes as sun cream against high light stress.

Plants rely on solar energy for growth through photosynthesis, yet excessive light intensity can induce physiological damage. Despite the considerable harm, inadequate attention has been directed toward understanding how plant-associated microorganisms mitigate this stress, and the impact of high light intensity on plant microbial communities remains underexplored. Through this Viewpoint, we aim to highlight the potential of microbial communities to enhance plant resilience and understand how light stress can shape plant microbiome.

Epidemiology and risk factors for the development of infectious complications in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma: a multicenter prospective cohort study in Uruguay.

Introduction: Infections represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). In Latin America, data on infectious complications in newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients are limited.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter, prospective cohort study of patients with NDMM in Uruguay between June 2019 and December 2020.

Patients Age 40 Years and Younger With Multiple Myeloma Have the Same Prognosis as Older Patients: An Analysis of Real-World Patients' Evidence From Latin America.

Purpose: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a highly heterogeneous, incurable disease most frequently diagnosed in the elderly. Therefore, data on clinical characteristics and outcomes in the very young population are scarce.

Patients And Methods: We analyzed clinical characteristics, response to treatment, and survival in 103 patients with newly diagnosed MM age 40 years or younger compared with 256 patients age 41-50 years and 957 patients age 51 years or older.

Light Quality Potentiates the Antioxidant Properties of Microgreen Extracts against Oxidative Stress and DNA Damage in Human Cells.

Plants are an inexhaustible source of bioactive compounds beneficial for contrasting oxidative stress, leading to many degenerative pathologies. L. subsp.

Survival Analysis of Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients after Frontline Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation in a Real-Life Setting.

Introduction: Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) is the standard consolidation option for transplant-eligible patients with multiple myeloma (MM). The aim of this study is to report the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) outcomes after frontline ASCT in newly-diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients in a real-world setting.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, survival analysis of all NDMM patients included in the MM Uruguayan Registry.
