In this paper, a novel extended state observer-based backstepping control scheme is proposed for strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unmeasured states suffering from false data injection (FDI) attacks. An extended state observer is designed to achieve simultaneous online estimation of system states and FDI attacks. A secure output feedback tracking control scheme with an attack compensation method is proposed to reduce the influence of FDI attacks.

Most bacteria will use their toxins to interact with the host cell, causing damage to the cell and then escaping from it. When bacteria enter the cell, they will be transported via the endosomal pathway. Rab GTPases are involved in bacterial transport as major components of endosomes that bind to their downstream effector proteins.

Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a prevalent swine pathogen, which has caused adverse impact on the global swine industry for almost 30 years. However, due to the immune suppression caused by the virus and the genetic diversity in PRRSV, no virus-targeting broad neutralizing strategy has been successfully developed yet. Antiviral peptide and nanobody have attracted extensive attention with the ease in production and the efficacy in practice.

Article Synopsis
  • Mastitis in dairy cows is primarily caused by bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus, and epithelial cells are crucial for preventing this condition.
  • The study investigates the role of Rab11A in how bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T) respond to S. aureus by analyzing changes in Rab11A and Rab11fip4 during bacterial infection.
  • Results indicate that Rab11A helps clear the bacteria and protects endosomes and lysosomes from damage, while Rab11fip4 appears to hinder this protective response, offering insights into the mechanisms of mastitis caused by S. aureus.
