Development of Vancomycin, a Glycopeptide Antibiotic, in a Suitable Nanoform for Oral Delivery by Ali A. Amer, Lewis Bingle, Cheng Shu Chaw, Amal Ali Elkordy

“…Vancomycin HCl (VCM) is a glycopeptide antibiotic used for Gram-positive bacterial infections that must be given intravenously for systemic infections since it cannot pass through the gut wall due to its chemical structure and characteristics. The aim of this research is to develop VCM in a niosomal nanoform to then be encapsulated in fast-disintegrating oral films for effective delivery to enhance the application of vancomycin-loaded niosomes for treating oral infections and to be used in dental treatments. …”

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). …”

Reuse of bottom sediment from reservoirs to cropland is a promising agroecological practice that must be rationalized by Cécile Gomez, Julien Amelin, Guillaume Coulouma, Juliette Gaab, Subramanian Dharumarajan, Jean Riotte, Muddu Sekhar, Laurent Ruiz

“…Secondly, our results highlight that (i) only farmers with access to irrigation implemented this practice and they sourced sediment from the nearest reservoir, (ii) a slight majority of farmers used less irrigation water and less fertilizer after sediment application, and (iii) differences in sediments and soils composition suggest that sediment application is more likely to improve soil physical structure than nutrient status. The reuse of sediments on cropland could therefore be a promising agroecological practice, likely to increase the resource circularity and the sustainability of cropping systems. …”
