Marine fisheries resources are under increasing threat, necessitating the development of new effective monitoring and management strategies. Environmental DNA (eDNA) and RNA (eRNA) metabarcoding has emerged as a non-invasive and sensitive alternative method for monitoring fish biodiversity and fisheries resources and assessing the fisheries impact of anthropogenic activities. Here, we summarize crucial technical details about eDNA metabarcoding for marine fish monitoring and provide meta-analytical trends in primer selection and sample size, assessment standards, fish and fisheries databases, reference fish genomic databases, and other relevant metrics.

While the majority of spp. isolated in clinical laboratories are typically associated with episodes of colonization or superficial infections, this fungal species has gained recognition as an opportunistic pathogen, leading to invasive infections worldwide. In this article, we present a case series of spp.

Aberrant activation of Notch signaling, mediated by the Notch intracellular domain (NICD), is linked to certain types of cancer. The NICD is released through γ-secretase-mediated cleavage of the Notch receptor. Therefore, development of a γ-secretase inhibitor (GSI) represents an anticancer strategy.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examined the financial burden of tuberculosis (TB) on patients in Myanmar, particularly those utilizing private providers in public-private mix (PPM) schemes, despite TB services being generally free.
  • - A survey of 695 adults revealed that patients incurred a median total cost of approximately $53.4 for TB treatment, with the most significant expenses occurring during the pre-treatment phase and clinic visits.
  • - Alarmingly, about 34.5% of patients faced catastrophic health expenditure, defined as spending over 20% of their financial capacity on TB-related costs, highlighting the ongoing economic challenges despite available healthcare services.
