An unexpected benefit from E. coli: how enterobactin benefits host health by Aileen K. Sewell, Min Han, Bin Qi

“…Although siderophores are well-known Fe+3 scavengers, this activity has previously been described to only benefit iron acquisition by bacteria, not the host. This unexpected function is dependent on the binding of Ent to the host’s ATP synthase α-subunit but is independent of other subunits of the ATP synthase. …”

Research on Pricing and Effort Investment Decisions for Dual-Channel Fresh Product Supply Chain Under the Participation of Third-Party Logistics Provider by Yunting Wu, Aimin Zhu, Lijuan Yu, Wenbo Wang

“…In most cases, the D1 Model generates the highest system profit. However, in scenarios where consumers are highly sensitive to freshness and marketing efforts, the system profit of the D2 Model is higher than that of the D1 Model. (3) The supply chain has lower pricing and effort input when consumers are more sensitive to prices and higher pricing and effort input when consumers are more sensitive to freshness. …”

Unveiling Surface Roughness Trends and Mechanical Properties in Friction Stir Welded Similar Alloys Joints Using Adaptive Thresholding and Grayscale Histogram Analysis by Haider Khazal, Azzeddine Belaziz, Raheem Al-Sabur, Hassanein I. Khalaf, Zerrouki Abdelwahab

“…This study attempts to provide a deeper understanding of the nature of the surface formation and roughness of aluminum joints during FSW processes. In order to form more efficient joints, the frictional temperature generated was monitored until reaching 450 °C, where the transverse movement of the tool and the joint welding began. …”

Impact of Two Hexaploidizations on Distribution, Codon Bias, and Expression of Transcription Factors in Tomato Fruit Ripeness by Yating Han, Wanjie Hu, Xiuling Wu, Xinyu Li, Junxi Luo, Ziying Zhu, Zhenyi Wang, Ying Liu

“…We identified and analyzed eight transcription factor families (TF families) associated with fruit ripening in the genomes of seven tomato species and two outgroup species, revealing the impact of whole-genome duplication (WGD) events on the structure and functional characteristics of these TF families. The results indicate that the Solanaceae Common Hexaploidization (SCH) event is the primary driver for the increase in the number of members within these TF families, leading to a more concentrated chromosomal distribution of family members. …”

Infiltration Pattern of Blood Monocytes into the Central Nervous System during Experimental Herpes Simplex Virus Encephalitis. by Rafik Menasria, Coraline Canivet, Jocelyne Piret, Guy Boivin

“…The lack of albumin detection in the brain parenchyma of infected mice showed that the infiltration of blood leukocytes was not necessarily related to a breakdown of the blood-brain barrier but could be the result of a functional recruitment. Thus, our findings suggest that blood monocyte-derived macrophages infiltrate the central nervous system and may contribute, with resident microglia, to the innate immune response seen during experimental HSE.…”
