Aluminum toxicity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that affects crop production worldwide. The soluble form (Al3+) inhibits root growth, altering water and nutrients uptake reducing the plant growth and development. Under a long term of Al3+ exposure, plants can activate several toleran...
To evaluate the gene expression profiling of peripheral leukocytes in different outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infections, whole blood samples were collected from individuals with positive SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal swab by RT-PCR (54 patients) and healthy uninfected individuals (12 volunteers). Infected pat...
Visceral adiposity is a risk factor for severe COVID-19, and a link between adipose tissue infection and disease progression has been proposed. Here we demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 infects human adipose tissue and undergoes productive infection in human primary adipose-derived stromal-vascular cells ...
