Article Abstract
Toxoplasmosis is a significant parasitic zoonosis caused by . Among livestock animals, small ruminants, especially sheep and goats, are the most infected. This infection is a leading cause of abortion, resulting in considerable economic losses for goat breeders. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of infection in goats in northern Thailand, with an emphasis on its potential zoonotic transmission to humans. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase () gene was employed for molecular detection. This represents the first report of molecular detection in blood samples from small ruminants in Thailand by PCR. A total of 176 meat goat blood samples were analyzed, yielding an 8.52% (15/176) positivity rate for DNA. The selected DNA sequences from the positive DNA displayed a high degree of nucleotide sequence homology with the reference sequence. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a single clade alongside other strains, showing no differentiation based on genotype. This study contributes to the understanding of epidemiology and provides a foundation for future strategies to control and manage transmission in livestock populations.

Background: Hearing loss (HL) is one of the most common congenital anomalies and is a complex etiologically diverse condition. Molecular genetic characterization of HL remains challenging owing to the high genetic heterogeneity. This study aimed to screen for potential disease-causing genetic variations in a cohort of Indian patients with congenital bilateral severe-to-profound sensorineural HL.

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.

Objectives: To investigate the antitumor effects of aucubin (AC) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and uncover its plausible mechanism against lung cancer stem-like cells (LCSCs).
Methods: In vitro experiments included MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, a reagent commonly used for cell viability assay) and colony formation assays to assess anti-proliferative effects on A549 and NCI-H1975 lung cancer cell lines, wound healing and Transwell invasion assays to evaluate inhibition of cell migration and invasion, tumorsphere-formation experiments to detect changes in NSCLC cell stemness, as well as Western blot and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses to measure the expression of LCSC markers (CD44, CD133, Oct4, and Nanog). In vivo experiments were conducted to observe the impact of AC on NSCLC metastasis and mouse survival rates.
