In this article, Una Morgan and Andrew Thompson briefly review the latest information on polymerase chain reaction (PCR)detection of Cryptosporidium parvum in both clinical and environmental samples. Current detection methods for Cryptosporidium are cumbersome, time-consuming and lack sensitivity. A variety of PCR tests have been described recently in the literature and this article discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each new technique and their potential for future diagnosis of Cryptosporidium.

Background/purpose: Heat stress is essential for improving the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based regeneration medicine. However, it is still unclear whether and how heat stress influences the differentiation of stem cells from apical papilla (SCAPs). This research aimed to explore the potential mechanism of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) in regulating differentiation under heat stress in SCAPs.

Background/purpose: Periodontitis is associated with systemic health. One of the underlying mechanisms is the translocation of periodontal pathogens, among which () is the most common. Here, we aimed to illustrate the biodistribution and dynamics of from gingiva to multiple organs through blood circulation.

is an airborne bacterial zoonotic pathogen that causes Q fever/coxiellosis in humans and animals. Although dogs are suspected of transmitting Q fever to humans in past outbreaks, the prevalence of in the Indian dog population and risk factors for infection remain unknown. In this study, 452 dogs from pet clinics in three Indian states were screened for coxiellosis using molecular (Trans-PCR, Com 1-PCR) and serological (IFAT) tests.

This study is aimed at investigating the role of key molecular elements involved in pyroptosis in liver injury caused by exertional heat stroke (EHS). We established a model of EHS-induced liver injury in Sprague-Dawley rats, with a control group (receiving no treatment) for comparison and 12 rats in each group. Alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) levels in the blood were detected.
