Minimizing strain influences in a genetically modified mouse phenotyping platform.

Ann N Y Acad Sci

Taconic, Discovery & Preclinical Research Solutions, Cranbury, New Jersey, USA.

Published: December 2011

Our approach has been to power studies to allow for detection of at least modest changes from a wild-type littermate control, include assays with overlapping physiological systems to provide cross-functional interpretive value, and to employ challenge assays.

Environmental and Economic Assessment of Wind Turbine Blade Recycling Approaches.

ACS Sustain Resour Manag

January 2025

Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87123, United States.

Wind energy offers a low emission source of energy while also being among the cheapest forms of electricity generation in the United States. While most materials in a wind turbine can be recycled at the end of their life, large composite blades are often treated as waste, leading to potential strains on regional landfills, a loss of durable materials, and forfeiture of embodied energy. Numerous approaches exist for recycling composite wind blades at various levels of technological and commercial maturity.

Background: Due to its previously illicit nature, Cannabis sativa had not fully reaped the benefits of recent innovations in genomics and plant sciences. However, Canada's legalization of C. sativa and products derived from its flower in 2018 triggered significant new demand for robust genotyping tools to assist breeders in meeting consumer demands.

Epidemiology, mechanisms, and clinical impact of bacterial heteroresistance.

NPJ Antimicrob Resist

State Key Laboratory for Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Diseases, National Clinical Rescarch Center for Infectious Diseases, China-Singapore Belt and Road Joint Laboratory on Infection Research and Drug Development, National Medical Center for Infectious Diseases, Collaborative Innovation Center for Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310000, China.

Bacterial heteroresistance, a phenomenon where subpopulations within a bacterial strain exhibit significantly reduced antibiotic susceptibility compared to the main population, poses a major challenge in managing infectious diseases. It is considered an intermediate stage in the evolution of bacteria towards full resistance. Heteroresistant strains often have a minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) that appears sensitive, making detection and differentiation in clinical settings difficult.
