Plants employ various defense mechanisms to protect themselves from invaders such as microorganisms and herbivores. By recognizing these threats, plants can trigger a cascade of responses throughout their tissues, effectively priming their defenses and enhancing their resistance to future attacks. In this study, we examined the indirect effects of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana strain GHA and Metarhizium anisopliae strain F01 on tomato growth, expression of selected plant genes, production of secondary metabolites, and preference and performance of the tomato leafminer (Tuta absoluta).

The Lifetime Impact Study for Achondroplasia (LISA), aimed to assess health-related quality of life and medical resource utilization among Latin America patients with achondroplasia.
Methods: Data were collected from individuals aged 3 years and above in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia between 2018 and 2021.
Introduction: A recent study on patients with acute lower limb ischemia showed that the proportion of inadequate examination of lower extremity circulation was associated with higher rate of amputation and death. The aim of this systematic review was to explore evidence for how practical competence in performing a peripheral vascular status of the lower limb among medical students and junior doctors should be taught and examined.
Methods: The systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines and was published in PROSPERO.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers administered a drug called PR-364 to mice after a heart attack, finding it significantly reduced mortality, preserved heart function, and slowed heart failure progression.
- * The findings revealed that PR-364 boosted the removal of damaged mitochondria and improved energy production in heart cells, suggesting it could be a promising treatment to protect heart tissue after a heart attack.
