The Use of Specific Non- Yeasts as Sustainable Biocontrol Solutions Against on Apples and Strawberries.

Apples and strawberries hold significant commercial and nutritional value but face pre- and post-harvest spoilage due to infections by While spoilage is conventionally managed using synthetic chemicals, there is a growing interest in utilising yeasts as biological control agents. This study aimed to assess the antifungal potential of non- yeasts , , and against three strains (B05.10, IWBT-FF1, and PPRI 30807) on agar plates and in post-harvest trials on apples and strawberries.

A dataset of Antarctic ecosystems in ice-free lands: classification, descriptions, and maps.

Antarctica, Earth's least understood and most remote continent, is threatened by human disturbances and climate-related changes, underscoring the imperative for biodiversity inventories to inform conservation. Antarctic ecosystems support unique species and genetic diversity, deliver essential ecosystem services and contribute to planetary stability. We present Antarctica's first comprehensive ecosystem classification and map of ice-free lands, which host most of the continent's biodiversity.

Survival of periodontal ligament myofibroblasts after short-term mechanical strain in rats and in vitro: Could myofibroblasts contribute to orthodontic relapse?

Objectives: To investigate in vivo whether myofibroblasts formed in the PDL after exposure to short-term high experimental orthodontic forces in rats survive. To study in vitro whether human PDL fibroblasts can differentiate into myofibroblasts and survive when chemical or mechanical stimuli are removed.

Design: Nine 6-week-old male Wistar rats were used in this experiment.

Deciphering neutrophil dynamics: Enhanced phagocytosis of elastic particles and impact on vascular-targeted carrier performance.

Particle elasticity has widely been established to substantially influence immune cell clearance and circulation time of vascular-targeted carriers (VTCs). However, prior studies have primarily investigated interactions with macrophages, monocytic cell lines, and in vivo murine models. Interactions between particles and human neutrophils remain largely unexplored, although they represent a critical aspect of VTC performance.
