Article Abstract

Bipartite geminiviruses possess two movement proteins (NSP and MP), which mediate the intra- and intercellular movement. In order to accomplish the transport process the movement proteins interact with viral nucleic acids in a sequence non-specific manner. To investigate the nucleic acid recognition properties of MP of MYMIV-Sb, the protein was expressed in Escherichia coli as a fusion protein with maltose-binding protein (MBP) and purified in native condition. Gel mobility shift assay was employed for analyzing the DNA recognition properties of purified MBP-MP fusion protein. The analyses demonstrated the sequence non-specific binding of MYMIV-Sb MP to both ds and ssDNA and its high affinity for ssDNA. MP of MYMIV-Sb did not show any specificity towards various forms of plasmid DNA but displayed size selection towards linear dsDNA.

Background: The spread of misinformation on social media poses significant risks to public health and individual decision-making. Despite growing recognition of these threats, instruments that assess resilience to misinformation on social media, particularly among families who are central to making decisions on behalf of children, remain scarce.

Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a novel instrument that measures resilience to misinformation in the context of social media among parents of school-age children.

Neuromorphic Visual Devices hold considerable promise for integration into neuromorphic vision systems that combine sensing, memory, and computing. This potential arises from their synergistic benefits in optical signal detection and neuro-inspired computational processes. However, current devices face challenges such as insufficient light/dark resistance ratios, mismatched transient photo-response, and volatile retention characteristics, limiting their adaptability to complex artificial vision systems.

Introduction: Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and is widely used in oncology for its anti-angiogenic properties. However, VEGF inhibition may result in significant nephrotoxicity, including thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA). While systemic TMA is well-described, isolated renal-limited TMA remains under recognised.

Background: Volatile anesthetics are gaining recognition for their benefits in long-term sedation of mechanically ventilated patients with bacterial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. In addition to their sedative role, they also exhibit anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, though the mechanisms behind these effects remain only partially understood. In vitro studies examining the prolonged impact of volatile anesthetics on bacterial growth, inflammatory cytokine response, and surfactant proteins - key to maintaining lung homeostasis - are still lacking.
