Leveraging environmental microbial indicators in wastewater for data-driven disease diagnostics.

Introduction: Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) is an emerging tool for monitoring the spread of infectious diseases, such as SARS-CoV-2, in community settings. Environmental factors, including water quality parameters and seasonal variations, may influence the prevalence of viral particles in wastewater. This study aims to explore the relationships between these factors and the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 across 28 monitoring sites, spanning different seasons and water strata.

Exploring bacterial metabolites in microbe-human host dialogue and their therapeutic potential in Alzheimer's diseases.

Neurological dysfunction in association with aging, dementia, and cognitive impairment is the major cause of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Current AD therapies often yield unsatisfactory results due to their poor mechanism in treating the underlying mechanism of the disease. Recent studies suggested that metabolites from the gut microbiota facilitate brain-gut communication.

Integrating (deep) machine learning and cheminformatics for predicting human intestinal absorption of small molecules.

The oral route is the most preferred route for drug delivery, due to which the largest share of the pharmaceutical market is represented by oral drugs. Human intestinal absorption (HIA) is closely related to oral bioavailability making it an important factor in predicting drug absorption. In this study, we focus on predicting drug permeability at HIA as a marker for oral bioavailability.

Bacterial valorization of agricultural-waste into a nano-sized cellulosic matrix for mitigating emerging pharmaceutical pollutants: An eco-benign approach.

For Bacterial Nanocellulose (BNC) production, standard methods are well-established, but there is a pressing need to explore cost-effective alternatives for BNC commercialization. This study investigates the feasibility of using syrup prepared from maize stalk as a valuable nutrient and sustainable carbon source for BNC production. Our study achieved a remarkable BNC production yield of 19.
