Glycerol enhanced simultaneous selenite bioremediation and astaxanthin biosynthesis in Haematococcus lacustris.

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element with nutritional and functional significance; however, elevated concentrations of inorganic Se, particularly selenite, can cause toxicity in aquatic systems. Haematococcus lacustris, a microalga renowned for its production of astaxanthin, offers a dual approach for Se biotransformation and the synthesis of bioactive compounds. This study explores the influence of glycerol-driven biotransformation on inorganic Se uptake, selenium biotransformation, and astaxanthin accumulation.

Microalgae-Based Fucoxanthin Attenuates Rheumatoid Arthritis by Targeting the JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway and Gut Microbiota.

Fucoxanthin, an abundant carotenoid in marine algae, has garnered attention for its diverse health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation and damage. This study investigated the therapeutic potential of fucoxanthin extracted from in collagen-induced RA.

Clinical Characteristics of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): A Comparison Between Laboratory-Confirmed and Clinically Suspected Patients.

To investigate the characteristic findings between laboratory-confirmed and clinically suspected patients with COVID-19. In this retrospective study, we included patients admitted to the Xiangya Hospital from Jan 24 to Feb 10, 2020. Two researchers separately collected and sorted out the patients' epidemiological, demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiologic findings.
