Introduction: Impulsivity and aggression are often interlinked behavioral traits that have major implications for our society. Therefore, the study of this phenomenon and derivative interventions that could lead to better control of impulsive aggression are of interest.
Methods: We analyzed the composition and diversity of the gut bacterial microbiome of 33 impulsively violent female convicts with dissocial personality disorder and 20 non-impulsive age-matched women.
Background: African swine fever (ASF) is a viral disease that affects pigs and wild boars providing economic burden in swine industry.
Methods And Results: In this study, we investigated the effect of deleting the ASFV multigene family 110 (MGF110) fragment (1 L-5-6 L) on apoptosis modulation and the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. Gene expression in swine peripheral blood macrophages infected with either the parental "Volgograd/14c" strain or the gene-deleted "Volgograd/D(1L-5-6L) MGF110" strain was analyzed.
Microplastics have emerged as pervasive pollutants in aquatic environments, and their interaction with organic contaminants poses a significant environmental challenge. This study aimed to explore the adsorption of micropollutants onto microplastics in a river, examining different plastic materials and the effect of aging on adsorption capacity. Microplastics (low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)) were introduced into a river stream, and a comprehensive analysis involving 297 organic pollutants was conducted.

MYXV is an important model virus for evolutionary and immunological research and a promising oncolytic. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed two complete genomes of MYXV virus vaccine strains B-82 and Rabbivac-B, which are widely used for vaccine production in Russia.
