Mycobacterium abscessus is increasingly recognized as an emerging opportunistic pathogen causing severe lung diseases and cutaneous infections. However, treatment of M. abscessus infections remains particularly challenging, largely due to intrinsic resistance to a wide panel of antimicrobial agents. New therapeutic alternatives are urgently needed. Herein, we show that, upon limited irradiation with a blue-light source, newly developed porphyrin-peptide cage-type photosensitizers exert a strong bactericidal activity against smooth and rough variants of M...

The development of photodynamic therapy requires access to smart photosensitizers which combine appropriate photophysical and biological properties. Interestingly, supramolecular and dynamic covalent chemistries have recently shown their ability to produce novel architectures and responsive systems through simple self-assembly approaches. Herein, we report the straightforward formation of porphyrin-peptide conjugates and cage compounds which feature on their surface chemical groups promoting cell uptake and specific organelle targeting...

Wheat and barley rank among the main crops cultivated on a global scale, providing the essential nutritional foundation for both humans and animals. Nevertheless, these crops are vulnerable to several fungal diseases, such as Septoria tritici blotch and net blotch, which significantly reduce yields by adversely affecting leaves and grain quality. To mitigate the effect of these diseases, chemical fungicides have proven to be genuinely effective; however, they impose a serious environmental burden. Currently, biocontrol agents have attracted attention as a sustainable alternative to fungicides, offering an eco-friendly option...

INTRODUCTION: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent treatment modality which has emerged as an alternative cancer therapy strategy. However, in solid tumors, the therapeutic efficacy of PDT is strongly reduced by hypoxia, a typical feature of many such tumors. The tumor-associated carbonic anhydrases IX (hCA IX) and XII (hCA XII), which are overexpressed under hypoxia are attractive, validated anticancer drug targets in solid tumors. Current challenges in therapeutic design of effective PDT systems aim to overcome the limitation of hypoxia by developing synergistic CA-targeted therapies combining photosensitizers and hCA IX/XII inhibitors...

Proteins from the signal transduction ATPases with numerous domains (STAND) family are known to play an important role in innate immunity. However, it remains less well understood how they function in transcriptional regulation. MalT is a bacterial STAND that controls the Escherichia coli maltose system. Inactive MalT is sequestered by different inhibitory proteins such as MalY. Here, we show that MalY interacts with one oligomerization interface of MalT to form a 2:2 complex. MalY represses MalT activity by blocking its oligomerization and strengthening ADP-mediated MalT autoinhibition...

As a network of researchers we release an open-access database (EUSEDcollab) of water discharge and suspended sediment yield time series records collected in small to medium sized catchments in Europe. EUSEDcollab is compiled to overcome the scarcity of open-access data at relevant spatial scales for studies on runoff, soil loss by water erosion and sediment delivery. Multi-source measurement data from numerous researchers and institutions were harmonised into a common time series and metadata structure. Data reuse is facilitated through accompanying metadata descriptors providing background technical information for each monitoring station setup...

Neofusicoccum parvum is one of the most aggressive Botryosphaeriaceae species associated with grapevine trunk diseases. This species may secrete enzymes capable of overcoming the plant barriers, leading to wood colonization. In addition to their roles in pathogenicity, there is an interest in taking advantage of N. parvum carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), related to plant cell wall degradation, for lignocellulose biorefining. Furthermore, N. parvum produces toxic secondary metabolites that may contribute to its virulence...

The Society for Psychical Research (SPR) of London was founded in 1882 with the purpose of investigating psychical phenomena, especially the theme of survival, with scientific rigour. Despite the recognized importance of the SPR for dynamic psychiatry in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, there are few studies of its epistemological contributions to the theme of survival and its implications to science. In order to fill this gap, we have consulted the main journals of the SPR in its golden period, and highlight the epistemologies of Sidgwick, Myers, James, Podmore, Schiller, Lodge and Richet...

Three new tetraphenylethene (TPE) push-pull chromophores exhibiting strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) are described. They were obtained via [2 + 2] cycloaddition-retroelectrocyclization (CA-RE) click reactions on an electron-rich alkyne-tetrafunctionalized TPE (TPE-alkyne) using both 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethene (TCNE), 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (F4 -TCNQ) as electron-deficient alkenes. Only the starting TPE-alkyne displayed significant AIE behavior, whereas for TPE-TCNE, a faint effect was observed, and for TPE-TCNQ and TPE-F4 -TCNQ, no fluorescence was observed in any conditions...

OBJECTIVES: Non-linearity in lipase assays and the ensuing gaps in results distribution have been described on Roche analysers, but have yet to be studied on other analysers. DESIGN & METHODS: Eighteen lithium-heparinized plasma pools of lipase activities decreasing from 1700 to <4 U/L were prepared for multicentric evaluation on several analysers. Non-linearity was modelled as the difference between the polynomial regression of lipase activities depending on relative dilutions over the primary measuring range, and the linear regression of the same variables above the manufacturer's limit of linearity (MLL)...

Viruses in the family Circoviridae have small circular single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genomes. Circoviruses are known to infect a wide variety of animals, with notable disease pathology in psittacine (psittacine beak and feather disease) and porcine (postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome) species. There is still a dearth of research investigating circoviruses associated with felid species. In six fecal samples collected from bobcats (Lynx rufus) in California from 2010 to 2011, we identified six viruses belonging to the genera Circovirus (n = 1) and Cyclovirus (n = 5), using a high-throughput-sequencing-based approach...

BACKGROUND: Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are a complex group of diseases, that lead to major economic losses in all wine producing countries. The investigation of biocontrol agents (BCAs) capable to forestall or at least minimize the development of GTDs has, recently, become a priority. Nursery experiments were set up to (i) assess the biocontrol effect of Trichoderma atroviride SC1 and Bacillus subtilis PTA-271, alone and in simultaneous application, against Botryosphaeria dieback (BOT) and black foot (BF) associated pathogens during the grapevine propagation process, and (ii) evaluate the success of the BCA inoculation during the grapevine propagation process, using qRT-PCR techniques...

Dynamic covalent polymers (DCPs) offer opportunities as adaptive materials of particular interest for targeting, sensing and delivery of biological molecules. In this view, combining cationic units and fluorescent units along DCP chains is attractive for achieving optical probes for the recognition and delivery of nucleic acids. Here, we report on the design of acylhydrazone-based DCPs combining cationic arginine units with π-conjugated fluorescent moieties based on thiophene-ethynyl-fluorene cores. Two types of fluorescent building blocks bearing neutral or cationic side groups on the fluorene moiety are considered in order to assess the role of the number of cationic units on complexation with DNA...

The flesh flies are a group of insects well known for their forensic importance. Reliable identification of these flies relies on the use of either molecular markers or the morphology of the male genital apparatus. Identification of female flesh flies is more time consuming and less reliable than their male counterparts. This is particularly problematic for forensic entomology practitioners, because female flesh flies are more abundant than males in carrion arthropod assemblages. As such, it is critical that alternative methods for flesh fly identification are established that are equally effective for both sexes...

5,15-Diazaporphyrin appended with D-mannose moieties was prepared through Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction and SN 2 alkylation. The resultant diazaporphyrin was hydrophilic enough to exhibit sufficient solubility in aqueous media. Because of the photosensitizing ability of diazaporphyrins, the in vitro activity of the D-mannose-appended diazaporphyrin in photodynamic therapy (PDT) was investigated. The specific internalization of the functionalized diazaporphyrin into human breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB-231) cells through mannose receptors was confirmed by confocal microscopy imaging...

The photophysical properties of two classes of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins linked to N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) Au(I) complexes have been investigated by means of density functional theory and its time-dependent extension for their potential application in photodynamic therapy. For this purpose, the absorption spectra, the singlet-triplet energy gaps, and the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) constants have been determined. The obtained results show that all the studied compounds possess the appropriate properties to generate cytotoxic singlet molecular oxygen, and consequently, they can be employed as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy...
