Elephant Black Garlic's Beneficial Properties for Hippocampal Neuronal Network, Chemical Characterization and Biological Evaluation.

Garlic has been used for decades as an important food and additionally for its beneficial properties in terms of nutrition and ancestral therapeutics. In this work, we compare the properties of fresh (WG) and aged (BG) extract obtained from elephant garlic, harvested on Chiloe Island, Chile. BG was prepared from WG with a 20-day aging process under controlled temperature and humidity conditions.

Two-Component Signaling Systems Regulate Diverse Virulence-Associated Traits in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause problematic infections at different sites throughout the human body. encodes a large suite of over 60 two-component signaling systems that enable cells to rapidly sense and respond to external signals. Previous work has shown that some of these sensory systems contribute to pathogenesis, but the virulence-associated processes and phenotypic traits that each of these systems controls are still largely unclear.
