Plant fungal diseases cause up to 15-20% and, in extreme cases, up to 60% yield loss globally.The use of chemical pesticides for the suppression of fungal plant diseases has many negative consequences for the environment.Therefore, new alternatives to suppress fungal pathogens are actively sought.In this present study, biosurfactants produced by Dr
A variety of immune cell subsets occupy different niches in the cardiovascular system, causing changes in the structure and function of the heart and vascular system, and driving the progress of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).The immune cells infiltrating the injury site are highly diverse and integrate into a broad dynamic immune network that cont
After rainfall, pine needles often float on the surface of small puddles.As the water evaporates, they self-assemble into distinct clusters.Motivated by this natural phenomenon, we experimentally investigate the dynamic evolution of synthetic particles as the liquid surface shrinks in area.Our experiments demonstrate the tendency of particles to ag
Abstract Background Primary adenocarcinomas of the appendix are uncommon.Mucoceles that result from mucinous adenocarcinomas of the appendix may be incidentally detected on imaging.Case presentation A case of a mucocele of the appendix, due to cystadenocarcinoma, is presented as an incidental imaging finding in a female, 86-year-old patient.The pat
