Globalization in the 21st century has posed several challenges. In particular, the spread of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, especially Gram-negative bacteria, which are prevalent in certain regions of the world, is one of the most critical issues. This raises concerns about the risks associated with the booming tourism industry and migratory flows.

- The study investigates the relationship between CEACAM1 levels and insulin metabolism in individuals with Type 2 diabetes and obesity.
- Findings show that as insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia increase, CEACAM1 levels decrease, particularly in those with prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes.
- The results suggest that measuring circulating CEACAM1 could serve as a useful biomarker for assessing metabolic health and insulin clearance.
This study investigated the valorization of leaves by producing a low-caffeine, antioxidant-rich product through the supercritical antisolvent extraction (SAE) process. The objective was to concentrate the antioxidants while selectively reducing the caffeine. The SAE treatments were conducted using an ethanolic extract of guayusa leaves under varying pressure (80 bar-150 bar) and temperature (35-45 °C) conditions to improve the recovery of chlorogenic acid (CGA) and caffeine fractionation.

- The study investigates how temperature affects the viral cycles of Zika (ZIKV) and Chikungunya (CHIKV) in mammalian (Vero) and mosquito (C6/36) cells.
- At two temperatures, 28 °C and 37 °C, researchers compare the virus's genome quantification to its infectivity in both cell types.
- Techniques like transmission electron microscopy reveal unique interactions, such as CHIKV's "virus-surfing" behaviors and its larger forms, while ZIKV is less prevalent in mosquito cells compared to mammalian cells.
Beet is a nutritious and health-promoting food with important bioactive compounds in its industrial by-products. The encapsulation of antioxidants from beet by-products has been proposed for valorization. For this, an ethanol-water extract was mixed with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (used as a carrier agent) and then encapsulated.
