The stringent response is a conserved bacterial stress response that allows bacteria to alter their activity and survive under nutrient-limiting conditions. Activation of the stringent response is characterized by the production of intracellular signalling molecules, collectively termed (p)ppGpp, which interact with multiple targets inside bacterial cells. Together, these interactions induce a slow growth phenotype to aid bacterial survival by altering the transcriptomic profile of the cell, inhibiting ribosome biosynthesis and targeting enzymes involved in other key metabolic processes.

Proliferating animal cells maintain a stable size distribution over generations despite fluctuations in cell growth and division size. Previously, we showed that cell size control involves both cell size checkpoints, which delay cell cycle progression in small cells, and size-dependent regulation of mass accumulation rates (Ginzberg et al., 2018).

Background: Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGIDs) constitute a group of psychosomatic diseases characterized primarily by disruptions in the functioning of the digestive system, profoundly impacting the lives of affected individuals.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the influence of negative affect (NA) on the gastrointestinal symptoms of FGID patients, as well as the mediating role of rumination and the regulatory effects of expression suppression (ES) as an emotional regulation strategy.
Methods: A survey was conducted on 1000 patients (403M, 597F) with gastrointestinal disorders at a tertiary hospital using the negative affect subscale from the DS-14 (Type D Personality Scale), the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS), the Rumination Response Scale (RRS), and the expression suppression subscale from the Gross-John Emotion Regulation Strategy.

Background: Malignant brain tumors are among the most lethal cancers. Recent studies emphasized the crucial involvement of the immune system, especially T cells, in driving tumor progression and influencing patient outcomes. The emerging field of immunometabolism has shown that metabolic pathways play a pivotal role in regulating immune responses within the tumor microenvironment.

Chronic infections represent a significant global health and economic challenge. Biofilms, which are bacterial communities encased in an extracellular polysaccharide matrix, contribute to approximately 80% of these infections. In particular, pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are frequently co-isolated from the sputum of patients with cystic fibrosis and are commonly found in chronic wound infections.
