Introduction: Agro-industrial wastes are generated in huge amounts triggering damages to the environment and human health. Therefore, there is an urgent necessity for its revalorisation into high-value compounds, including biofuels. One such wastes is the brewer's spent grain (BSG), a by-product of the beer industry, which is produced in vast quantities worldwide.

To date, there is no licensed vaccine against the protozoan parasite (, the etiological agent of Chagas Disease. has evolved numerous mechanisms to evade and manipulate the host immune system. Among the subversive strategies employed by the parasite, marked increases in CD11b+ Gr-1+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in several organs have been described.

Article Synopsis
  • Liver fluke infection, caused by Fasciola hepatica, is a significant parasitic zoonotic disease impacting both humans and animals, with important health implications.
  • This study offers the first genetic analysis of F. hepatica in Chile, emphasizing variations in the complete mitochondrial gene cox1 among samples from cattle and horses.
  • Findings reveal that using full-length genetic sequences increases the identification of unique haplotypes, suggesting that greater sequencing efforts are necessary to accurately assess genetic diversity and improve disease control strategies.

Background: The issue of renewable energy (RE) source intermittency, such as wind and solar, along with the geographically uneven distribution of the global RE potential, makes it imperative to establish an energy transport medium to balance the energy demand and supply areas. A promising energy vector to address this situation is hydrogen, which is considered a clean energy carrier for various mobile and portable applications. Unfortunately, at standard pressure and temperature, its energy content per volume is very low (0.

Neuroinflammation and oxidative stress are important features in the pathogenesis and development of synucleinopathies, the glial activation and upregulation of pro-inflammatory and oxidative mediators induce alpha-synuclein (α-syn) accumulation. Recent studies have shown that bee venom (BV) has beneficial effects on symptoms of these neurodegenerative diseases. BV is known to exert anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects.
