Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death in the world, despite being a preventable and curable disease. Irrespective of tremendous advancements in early detection and treatment, this disease still has high mortality rates. This is due to the development of antibiotic resistance, which significantly reduced the efficacy of antibiotics, rendering them useless against this bacterial infection.

Background: A previous study found that MAF1 homolog, a negative regulator of RNA polymerase III (MAF1), protects the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE); however, the related molecular mechanisms remain unclear.
Subjects And Methods: In this study, a rat sepsis model was constructed using the cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) method. In vitro, rat brain microvascular endothelial cells and astrocytes were stimulated with serum from the sepsis model rats.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Schisandrachinensis, a traditional functional Chinese medicine, is known for its ability to tonify the kidneys, calm the heart, and tranquilize the mind. Recent pharmacological research has demonstrated its anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects.
Aim Of The Study: We had previously demonstrated that Schisandra chinensis lignans (SCL) promote microglia polarization to M2 phenotype via targeting cannabinoid receptor type-2 (CB2R) to exert antidepressant effects.

Vancomycin (VAN) and daptomycin (DAP) are among the last-resort antibiotics for treating multidrug-resistant Gram-positive bacterial infections. They are administered intravenously (IV); however, ≈5 - 10% of the total IV dose is released in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract via biliary excretion, driving resistance emergence in commensal Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) populations.

Crop diseases significantly threaten global food security, driving the need for innovative control strategies. This study explored using ZnO-TiO@MSC, a novel nanomaterial synthesized using a corn stover template, to enhance disease resistance in tomato plants. In vitro assays demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity of ZnO-TiO@MSC against the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv.
