Phenanthrene is classified as a priority environmental pollutant because of its impact on the environment and on human health as a mutagenic and carcinogenic agent. The aim of this study was isolated and identified new bacteria with the capability to degrade phenanthrene from Reynosa, Mexico. , , and had high tolerant to phenanthrene (250 mg L).

Methods: We included pediatric patients with histopathological diagnosis of isolated FCD type 1 and at least 1 year of postsurgical follow-up. We systematically reanalyzed clinical, electrophysiological, and radiological features.
Article Synopsis
- The Zika virus (ZIKV), primarily spread by mosquitoes, poses significant health challenges, especially in impoverished tropical areas; understanding its spread is crucial for control efforts.
- This study utilized unsupervised machine learning techniques, particularly Random Forest and various dimensional reduction methods, to analyze ZIKV protein data and identify patterns without prior training information.
- Results revealed distinct host and geographical clusters for ZIKV, with UMAP being particularly effective; these methods could help track viral pathogens and could be adapted for studying other viruses like dengue.
Heavy chain-only antibodies have found many applications where conventional heavy-light heterodimeric antibodies are not favorable. Heavy chain-only antibodies with their single antigen-binding domain offer the advantage of a smaller size and higher stability relative to conventional antibodies, and thus, the potential for novel targeting modalities. Domain antibodies have commonly been sourced from camelids with humanization or transgenic rodents expressing heavy chains without light chains, but these host species are all mammalian, limiting their capacity to elicit robust immune responses to conserved mammalian targets.

The aim of this study is to analyze the pathogenicity in strains and their resistance to heavy metals and antibiotics, in agricultural soil of the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. Susceptibility to 16 antibiotics was tested using the Kirby-Bauer method (CLSI).
