Minimum energy configurations in 2D material-based heterostructures can enable interactions with external chemical species that are not observable for their monolithic counterparts. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the binding energy of divalent toxic metal ions of Cd, Pb, an...
Leptospirosis, an emerging zoonotic disease with worldwide distribution, is caused by spirochetes belonging to the genus Leptospira. More than 500,000 cases of severe leptospirosis are reported annually, with .10% of these being fatal. Leptospires can survive for weeks in suitably moist conditions b...

TNFα-stimulated gene 6 (TSG-6) is an anti-inflammatory protein. In human epidermis, TSG-6 is secreted in extracellular matrix where it interacts with hyaluronan (HA). However, their functions are not well understood. In this study, immortalized N/TERT keratinocytes were edited by CRISPR/Cas9, used t...

Hypocrea jecorina (anamorph Trichoderma reesei) is one of the most well studied fungi used in biotechnology industry. This fungus is today a paradigm for the comercial scale production of different plant cell wall degrading enzymes, mainly cellulases and hemicellulases. The objective of this study w...

Background

The COVID-19 situation in Brazil is complex due to large differences in the shape and size of regional epidemics. Understanding these patterns is crucial to understand future outbreaks of SARS-CoV-2 or other respiratory pathogens in the country.

Methods

We tested 97,950 blo...
Neutrophils rapidly infiltrate sites of infection and possess several microbicidal strategies, such as neutrophil extracellular traps release and phagocytosis. Enhanced neutrophil infiltration is associated with higher susceptibility to Leishmania infection, but neutrophil effector response contribu...

Objectives

Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination has off-target effects on disease risk for unrelated infections and immune responses to vaccines. This study aimed to determine the immunomodulatory effects of BCG vaccination on immune responses to vaccines against SARS-CoV-2.

Heterosis (hybrid vigor) refers to the superior performance of hybrid progeny relative to their parents. Although widely exploited in agriculture, the mechanisms responsible for heterosis are not well understood. As a monoecious organism, a given maize plant can be used as both male and female par...
ORGANISM(S): Zea mays 

Background and objectives

Because of its beneficial off-target effects against non-mycobacterial infectious diseases, bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination might be an accessible early intervention to boost protection against novel pathogens. Multiple epidemiological studies and randomi...
