Induced resistance against plant viruses has been studied for many years. However, with the exception of RNA silencing, induced resistance to viruses remains mechanistically less well understood than for other plant pathogens. In contrast, the induction processes involved in induced resistance, comprising basal resistance signaling, effector-triggered immunity, and phytohormone pathways, have been increasingly well characterized in recent years. This has allowed induced resistance to viruses to be placed in a broader conceptual framework linking it to other defense systems, which we discuss in this review. We also discuss the range of agents, including chemicals and beneficial microorganisms and application methods that can be used to induce resistance to viruses.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a multiorgan disease caused by mutations in the gene, leading to chronic pulmonary infections and hyperinflammation. Among pathogens colonizing the CF lung, is predominant, infecting over 50% of adults with CF, and becoming antibiotic-resistant over time. Current therapies for CF, while providing tremendous benefits, fail to eliminate persistent bacterial infections, chronic inflammation, and irreversible lung damage, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths, remaining a significant challenge in terms of early detection, effective treatment, and improving patient survival rates. In this study, we investigated the anticancer mechanism of rubiarbonol B (Ru-B) and its derivative 3-O-acetylrubiarbonol B (ARu-B), a pentacyclic terpenoid in gefitinib (GEF)-sensitive and -resistant NSCLC HCC827 cells. Concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxicity was observed for both Ru-B and ARu-B.

Aim: To investigate the phenotypic and genomic features of three multidrug-resistant (MDR) clinical mucoid and non-mucoid uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains to understand their antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation, and virulence in urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Methods And Results: The UPEC strains A5, A10, and A15 were isolated from two UTI patients. Phenotypic assays included colony morphology, antibiotic susceptibility, motility, and biofilm formation.

Despite significant advancements in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using conventional therapeutic methods, drug resistance remains a major factor contributing to disease recurrence. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential benefits of combining PI3K inhibition with Cisplatin in the context of NSCLC-derived A549 cells. Human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells were cultured and treated with BKM120, cisplatin, or their combination.

Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Despite its growing prevalence, no FDA-approved pharmacological treatments exist, leaving lifestyle modifications as the primary intervention. AFLD pathogenesis involves a complex interplay of lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, and inflammation, highlighting the need for innovative therapeutic approaches.
