Aim: Study of expression of cytokine genes in the process of cultivation of healthy donor leukocytes.
Materials And Methods: RNA isolated before, after 3 and 24 hours of cultivation of leukocytes of 15 healthy donors aged 19 - 32 years was the object of the study. Study of the expression of genes of 8 cytokines by the level of their mRNA was performed by using polymerase chain reactionwith reverse transcription.
Results: In healthy donors among with individual differences, general regularities were traced: higher levels of IFNalpha and anti-inflammatory cytokine gene expression, as well as predominantly low expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
Conclusion: In most of the cases in the process of cultivation of leukocytes isolated from blood donors the highest level of gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines is noted after 3 hours of cultivation, and expression of genes of anti-inflammatory cytokines remains constant for 24 hours of cultivation.

The biomethanation process is widely recognized as a significant approach to mitigating carbon dioxide emissions while simultaneously generating methane. However, only a few microorganisms that required intricate culturing conditions were identified for biomethanation. Here, Escherichia coli that featured easy cultivation and versatile chassis was genetically modified for biomethanation for the first time.

Bone defect repair remains a great challenge in the field of orthopedics. Human body essential trace element such as copper is essential for bone regeneration, but how to use it in bone defects and the underlying its mechanisms of promoting bone formation need to be further explored. In this study, by doping copper into mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Cu-MBGNs), we unveil a previously unidentified role of copper in facilitating osteoblast mitophagy and mitochondrial dynamics, which enhance amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) release and subsequent biomineralization, ultimately accelerating the process of bone regeneration.

The increasing need for sustainable agricultural practices due to the overuse of chemical fertilizers has prompted interest in microalgae as biofertilizers. This review investigates the potential of microalgae as biofertilizers and phycoremediators within sustainable agroecosystems, addressing both soil fertility and wastewater management. Microalgae provide a dual benefit by absorbing excess nutrients and contaminants from wastewater, generating nutrient-rich biomass that can replace chemical fertilizers and support plant growth.

Objective: Back to Early Care and Education Safely With Sustainability via Active Garden Education (BE SAGE) involved COVID-19 testing and a free garden-based physical activity and nutrition program at early care and education centers with primarily Hispanic/Latino enrollment. This article describes the project community engagement plan, process, and outcomes focusing on deliberate and intentional staffing, an extensive online presence, and focused outreach.
Methods: BE SAGE purposefully hired bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural staff; developed and maintained a large bilingual online presence (website, newsletters, social media), and fostered community partnerships with community health workers (CHWs) and dedicated staff.

Citrus is one of the world's most popular and widely cultivated fruits. The processing of citrus fruits for juice extraction generates solid and liquid biowaste, a valuable bio-resource that can be utilized in various sectors, including food and non-food industries. Incorporating Circular Economy (CE) principles into the citrus supply chain offers numerous opportunities but also presents certain barriers.
