The tightly-regulated spatial and temporal distribution of zinc ion concentrations within cellular compartments is controlled by two groups of Zn transporters: the 14-member ZIP/SLC39 family, facilitating Zn influx into the cytoplasm from the extracellular space or intracellular organelles; and the 10-member ZnT/SLC30 family, mobilizing Zn in the opposite direction. Genetic aberrations in most zinc transporters cause human syndromes. Notably, previous studies demonstrated osteopenia and male-specific cardiac death in mice lacking the ZnT5/ zinc transporter, and suggested association of two homozygous frameshift variants with perinatal mortality in humans, due to hydrops fetalis and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Bone has several crucial functions. It is essential for locomotion and allows our body to stand erect against gravity. A mismatch between the mechanical stresses applied to it and its mechanical resistance leads to fractures.

Colonization of the infant gut is an important developmental process characterized by high carriage of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and high abundances of pathobionts. The horizontal transfer of ARGs to pathogenic bacteria represents a major public health concern. However, there is still a paucity of longitudinal studies surveilling ARGs in healthy infant guts at high temporal resolution.

Background: Craniofacial asymmetry associated with unicoronal synostosis (UCS) may persist into the teenage years despite surgery in infancy. This study evaluated outcomes following a nasal monobloc procedure by mobilizing a united nasomaxillary and bilateral medial orbital segment of bone (nasal monobloc) to perform corrective translational and rotational movement for secondary correction of residual nasal-orbital asymmetry associated with UCS.
Methods: A retrospective review of all UCS patients treated with nasal monobloc at our institution was performed.

Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a predominant constraint on plant growth in acidified soils, largely due to the sequestration of P by toxic aluminum (Al) compounds. Indigenous phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria (PSBs) capable of mobilizing Al-P in these soils hold significant promise. A novel Al-P-solubilizing strain, Al-P sp.
