Published: November 2016

All organisms developed genetic programs to allow their survival under stressful conditions. In most cases, they increase the amount of a specific class of proteins which deal with the stress factor and allow cells to adapt to life-threatening conditions. One class of stress proteins are the heat shock proteins (HSPs) the amount of which is significantly increased after a sudden temperature rise. How is the heat shock response (HSR) regulated in bacteria? This has been studied in detail in Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Streptomyces spp. Two major mechanisms have been described so far to regulate expression of the HSGs, namely alternative sigma factors and transcriptional repressors. This review focuses on the regulatory details of the different heat shock regulons in the three well-studied bacterial species.

Background/aims: Bruise is the extravasation of blood that may be mild or severe. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are one of the most promising cells used in regenerative medicine for treating many disorders. We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of BM-MSCs in treating cutaneous bruises.

With freshwater resources becoming scarce worldwide, mariculture is a promising avenue to sustain aquaculture development, especially by incorporating brackish and saline groundwater (GW) use into fish farming. A 75-day rearing trial was conducted to evaluate fish growth, immune response, overall health, and water quality of Chelon ramada cultured in brackish GW and fed on a basal diet (BD) augmented with rosemary oil (RO) or RO + zymogen forte™ (ZF) as an anti-flatulent. Five treatments were administrated in triplicate: T1: fish-fed BD without additives (control group); T2: fish-fed BD + 0.

Biostimulants are an emerging and innovative class of products that may mitigate the adverse effects of extreme heat, but research on their efficacy in fruit crops is limited. This study addressed this knowledge gap by evaluating the performance of three biostimulants, FRUIT ARMOR™, Optysil®, and KelpXpress™ [active ingredients glycine betaine, silicon, and kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) extract, respectively] applied to three raspberry genotypes exposed to high temperatures (T ≥ 35 °C/day) inside a glasshouse. 'Meeker' consistently maintained high chlorophyll fluorescence (F/F) and photosynthesis under control and biostimulant treatments.

Lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-mediated RNA delivery holds significant potential for the treatment of various liver diseases. Ionizable lipids play a crucial role in the formulation of LNPs and directly influence their delivery efficiency. In this study, we introduced an innovative concept by incorporating an ether bond into the hydrophobic tail of ionizable lipids for the first time.
