sp. CBR-F is a bacterial species isolated from a water treatment plant targeting for per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances, a difficult-to-degrade family of anthropogenic compounds. Here, we report a complete genome for sp.

- Histone Deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) removes acetyl groups from histones, impacting gene expression regulation, but its suppression leads to both increases and decreases in gene activity.
- The study used the dTAG system for rapid HDAC1 degradation in mouse embryonic stem cells, which allowed for specific removal within less than an hour.
- After HDAC1 degradation, most differentially expressed genes were upregulated within two hours, and changes in histone acetylation patterns indicated HDAC1's complex role in managing gene expression and enhancer activity for maintaining pluripotency.
Background: Limited information is available on electrolyte abnormalities in cats with chronic inflammatory enteropathy (CIE).
Hypothesis/objectives: Report the prevalence of electrolyte abnormalities in cats with CIE compared to other gastrointestinal disorders, and determine their association with disease and outcome variables in cats with CIE.
Animals: Three hundred twenty-eight client-owned cats from 2 referral hospitals: CIE (132), alimentary small cell lymphoma (29), acute gastroenteritis (48), and healthy controls (119).
Facilitating an appropriate immune response is crucial for promoting bone tissue regeneration upon biomaterial implantation. In this study, the Mg-containing nanostructures on the surface of Ti-1.25Mg alloy were prepared by a one-step hydrothermal reaction method via regulating pH value to enhance the immunomodulatory osteogenic properties of Ti-Mg alloys.

- TiAl alloys are lightweight and strong, making them suitable replacements for Ni-based superalloys in high-temperature situations.
- Researchers created a new TiAl alloy (Ti4822) by adding niobium (Nb) and used laser metal deposition to examine how Nb affected the alloy's structure and properties.
- The study found that increasing Nb promoted the desirable γ phase while reducing the β phase, leading to higher tensile strength, but also increased wear and friction rates due to specific wear mechanisms.
