Endangered Pinto/Northern Abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana) are Panmictic Across Their 3700 km Range Along the Pacific Coast of North America by J. L. Dimond, J. V. Bouma, F. Lafarga‐De la Cruz, K. J. Supernault, T. White, D. A. Witting

“…Despite depleted populations, our analysis of over 6000 SNPs across nearly 300 individuals revealed that pinto abalone maintains a high genetic diversity with no evidence of a genetic bottleneck. Neutral population structure and isolation by distance were extremely weak, indicating panmixia across the species' range (global FST = 0.0021). …”

Dual function of Desmidorchis retrospiciens-derived gold nanoparticles as antibacterial and osteoinductive agent for treating osteomyelitis by Basem M. Abdallah, Basem M. Abdallah, Peramaiyan Rajendran, Peramaiyan Rajendran, Enas M. Ali, Enas M. Ali

“…In vitro and ex vivo cell biology assays were used to study the osteoinductive effect of DR-AuNPs.ResultsDR-AuNPs displayed substantial antibacterial activity against MRSA-induced osteomyelitis by increasing ROS production, membrane leakage, membrane permeability, and disruption of surface structure in the MRSA. Several anti-biofilm assays and electron microscopic studies have demonstrated the efficacy of DR-AuNPs in significantly inhibiting the formation of MRSA biofilm. …”
