Micavibrio gen. nov. (M.L. fem. n. mica--a tiny thing and M.L. masc. n. Vibroia generic name, M.L. masc. n. Micavibrio a tiny vibrio). Cells are single, small curved rods, in motile stage with a single polar not sheathed flagellum. Reproduced by binary division, gram-negative. Cells attach to host-bacteria cells and grow as exoparasites destroying the host, may exhibit a host-range specificity. The G + C content of the DNA of the strain examined is 57,1% M. Isolated from sewage waters. The type species is M. admirandus sp. nov. M. admirandus sp. nov (M.L. adj. admirable). Curved gram-negative rods 0,25-0,35X0,6-1,0 micron with a single flagellum 13-15 nm in width. Motile cells attach to the cell wall of the bacterium. Pseudomonas maltophilia, lose the motility and grow as exoparasites destroying the host. Develops only on. P. maltophilia cells and is unable to multiply in the absence of a host organism. Resistant to a vibriostatic agent pteridine 0/129. The G + C content of the DNA of the strain examined is 57,1% M. The type strain ARL-14 is maintained in the culture collection of the Institute of Biochemistry and Physiology of Microorganisms, USSR Academy of Sciences. The type strain has been isolated from sewage waters of the town of Pushchino.

Bone is a dynamic tissue that serves several purposes in the human body, including storing calcium, forming blood cells, and protecting and supporting the body's organs. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is secreted into the circulation by osteoblasts, the cells responsible for making bone. It attaches to the surface of osteoblast cells or matrix vesicles.

This study provides a comprehensive investigation of antimicrobial additives (ZnO/AgNPs and SiO/AgNPs) on the properties of biodegradable ternary blends composed of poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) by examining the morphology, thermal stability, crystallinity index, and cell viability of these blends. Overall, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed that AgNPs and SiO exhibited comparable sizes, whereas ZnO was significantly larger, which influences their release profiles and interactions with the blends. The addition of antimicrobials influences the rheology of the blends, acting as compatibilizers by reducing the intermolecular forces between biopolymers.

Proper adhesion of cells to their environment is essential for the normal functioning of single cells and multicellular organisms. To attach to the extracellular matrix (ECM), mammalian cells form integrin adhesion complexes consisting of many proteins that together link the ECM and the actin cytoskeleton. Similar to mammalian cells, the amoeboid cells of the protist Dictyostelium discoideum also use multiprotein adhesion complexes to control their attachment to the underlying surface.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition with limited therapeutic options. The molecular aberrations promoting ectopic attachment and interactions with the local microenvironment sustaining lesion growth have been unclear, prohibiting development of targeted therapies. Here, we performed single-cell and spatial transcriptomic profiling of ectopic lesions and eutopic endometrium in endometriosis.

Bioabsorbable textile scaffolds are promising for bone tissue engineering applications. Their tuneable, porous, fibre based architecture resembles that of native extracellular matrix, and they can sustain tissue growth while being gradually absorbed in the body. In this work, immortalized mouse calvaria preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in vitro on two warp-knitted bioabsorbable spacer fabric scaffolds made of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), to investigate their osteogenic properties.
