Coenzyme M: An Archaeal Antioxidant as an Agricultural Biostimulant.

Rising global food demand necessitates improved crop yields. Biostimulants offer a potential solution to meet these demands. Among them, antioxidants have shown potential to improve yield, nutritional quality, and resilience to climate change.

Safety and feasibility of concomitant scalp cooling and limb cryocompression to prevent paclitaxel-induced alopecia and neuropathy.

Introduction: Scalp cooling is standard-of-care for prevention of chemotherapy-induced alopecia (CIA), with proven safety and efficacy. Limb cryotherapy has shown promise in preventing chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). The safe application of concomitant scalp and limb cryotherapies during chemotherapy is crucial due to concerns about potential interactions, including central hypothermia, yet limited data exist on their safe delivery in this context.

Microbial distribution in Mudbank regions off Alappuzha, South-West coast of India.

The coastal waters of Kerala, in the South Eastern Arabian Sea (SEAS), are unique during the Southwest monsoon season due to the concurrent occurrence of two physical processes, the upwelling and Mudbanks. However, little is known about the viral ecology and activity in a system where upwelling and Mudbanks coexist, though it is generally recognized that microbial assemblages play a vital role in the food web dynamics of marine systems, particularly in upwelling. Water samples were taken from monsoon and pre-monsoon period from three locations, (M1, M2, and M3) off Alappuzha, on the southwest coast of India to examine the viral activity and distribution.

Sediment microbial diversity, functional potentials, and antibiotic resistance pattern: a case study of Cochin Estuary core sediment.

Marine sediments are an important part of the marine environment and the world's greatest organic carbon source. Sediment microorganisms are important regulators of major geochemical and eco-environmental processes in marine environments, especially nutrient dynamics and biogeochemical cycles. Despite their importance, core marine microorganisms are virtually unknown due to a lack of consensus on how to identify them.
