Introduction: As a low-cost, high-fibre biomass resource, (reed) has significant potential for feed applications, particularly as a partial replacement for conventional roughage in ruminant diets.
Methods: This study investigated the effects of integrating ( BNCC109047) with homofermentative/ heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB) consortia on the fermentation and nutritional quality of (reed) silage. Five treatments were evaluated: a Control (CK, without inoculum) and four inoculants-LAB (1.5 × 108 CFU/kg LAB, 1:4 homofermentative ( BNCC 336421 and BNCC 135034 in a ratio of 1:1): heterofermentative ( BNCC 187961) ratio), LAB-BS2.5 (LAB plus 2.5 × 10 CFU/kg ), LAB-BS5.0 (LAB plus 5.0 × 10 CFU/kg ), and LAB-BS10.0 (LAB plus 1.0 × 10 CFU/kg )-with triplicate samples per group. Silage fermentation was conducted for 90 days.
Results: LAB-BS10.0 demonstrated superior fermentation outcomes, achieving the highest lactic acid-to-total acid ratio (62.3%, < 0.05) and the lowest ammonia nitrogen (NH-N) content (0.60 ± 0.09 g/kg, < 0.05). Acetic and butyric acid concentrations were significantly reduced ( < 0.05), while neutral detergent fiber (NDF) decreased by 5.9% compared to the Control. Ether extract (EE) increased to 4.76% ( < 0.01), highlighting enhanced lipid preservation.
Conclusion: These results emphasize the synergistic potential of and LAB to optimize silage, providing a sustainable strategy to enhance forage quality and tackle global feed shortages.

Background: Previous trials have demonstrated increased 5-year risks for adverse clinical events after coronary artery implantation of poly-l-lactic acid-based bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) compared with cobalt chromium (CoCr) everolimus-eluting stents (EES).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the 5-year clinical outcomes of the novel sirolimus-eluting NeoVas BRS compared with CoCr EES.
Methods: A total of 560 patients with single de novo native coronary artery lesions with reference vessel diameter 2.

Primary coenzyme Q (CoQ) deficiency is a mitochondrial disorder with variable clinical presentation and limited response to standard CoQ10 supplementation. Recent studies suggest that 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), a biosynthetic precursor of CoQ, may serve as a substrate enhancement treatment in cases caused by pathogenic variants in COQ2, a gene encoding a key enzyme in CoQ biosynthesis. However, it remains unclear whether 4-HBA is required throughout life to maintain health, whether it offers advantages over CoQ10 treatment, and whether these findings are translatable to humans.

Introduction: Lactate has emerged as a multifunctional signaling molecule regulating various physiological and pathological processes. Furthermore, lactylation, a newly identified posttranslational modification triggered by lactate accumulation, plays significant roles in human health and diseases. This study aims to investigate the roles of lactate/lactylation in respiratory diseases.

Electroactive bacteria (EAB) hold great promise for the development of electrochemical biosensors given their unique ability to transfer electrons extracellularly via specialized pathways, a process termed extracellular electron transfer (EET). Ongoing research aims to overcome current limitations and fully harness the potential of EABs for high-performance biosensing applications. Herein, we report the fabrication of an electrochemical microsensor based on biomineralized electroactive bacteria, specifically MR-1.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by endothelial dysfunction, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and insufficient resolution of inflammation. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in vascular homeostasis by promoting endothelial cell proliferation, maintaining endothelial integrity, suppressing smooth muscle cell hyperplasia, and exerting potent anti-inflammatory effects. However, clinical application of NO is hindered by its short half-life, lack of targeting, and uncontrolled release.
