Purpose: Nocardia is emerging as a common and easily neglected cause of both healthcare- and occupation-associated infections worldwide, however, human vaccines for Nocardia prevention are not yet available. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the immunoprotective effect of the NFA47630 protein, a secreted protein abundant in the N. farcinica IFM10152 supernatant.

Objective: To describe the collection methods for perilymph fluid biopsy during cochlear implantation, detect levels of amyloid β 42 and 40 (Aβ and Aβ), and total tau (tTau) analytes with a high-precision assay, to compare these levels with patient age and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores, and explore potential mechanisms and relationships with otic pathology.
Study Design: Prospective study.
Setting: Tertiary referral center.
Images collected during NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission provide the first resolved views of the Didymos binary asteroid system. These images reveal that the primary asteroid, Didymos, is flattened and has plausible undulations along its equatorial perimeter. At high elevations, its surface is rough and contains large boulders and craters; at low elevations its surface is smooth and possesses fewer large boulders and craters.

The asteroid (142) Polana is classified as a B-type asteroid located in the inner Main Belt. This asteroid is the parent of the New Polana family, which has been proposed to be the likely source of primitive near-Earth asteroids such as the B-type asteroid (101955) Bennu. To investigate the compositional correlation between Polana and Bennu at the 3 µm band and their aqueous alteration histories, we analyzed the spectra of Polana in the ~ 2.

Hybridization is important in evolution, because it is a necessary (though not sufficient) step in the introgression of potentially adaptive variation between species. Bindin is a gamete recognition protein in echinoids and asteroids, capable of blocking cross-fertilization between species to varying degrees. Four species of the sea urchin genus Diadema are broadly sympatric in the Indo-Pacific: D.
