Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractTime-Resolution of Climate Change Monitoring Volcanic Cycles, Stromboli, Ocean Floor Biota and Pandemics (?)Giovanni Pietro Gregori, Gabriele PaparoClimate change is an ongoing, poorly understood and disquieting challenge. The primary drivers are debated. Clear evidence is however suggestive of a time variation of the planetary release of endogenous energy. In fact, soil exhalation is an unprecedented challenge for humankind, as a phenomenon of this kind happens only every 27.40.05 Ma, while human history spans only the last 30,0000 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 7 Sep 2021 · 6,252 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii in Free-Range Chickens (Gallus gallus) Sold at Fairs in the Metropolitan Region of Macapá–AP (Brazil)Paulo Tarso Tavares Santana, Washington Luiz Assunção Pereira, Rafaelle Casseb Guimarães et al.The informal commercialization of free-range poultry in open markets poses potential food safety risks regarding zoonotic pathogens. This investigation molecularly and histopathologically screened for Toxoplasma gondii in 36 free-range chickens acquired from 12 prominent markets in metropolitan Macapá, Amapá State. Paired heart and brain tissue samples from each animal were processed via conventional PCR and conventional histology. The pathogen was … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 2 Jul 2026 · 1,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae) Phytochemical Composition as Quorum-sensing Inhibitors to Combat Antibiotic-resistant Bacterial InfectionsEli Compaoré, Lassané Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba et al.The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections has intensified the search for plant-derived quorum-sensing (QS) inhibitors as alternative therapeutic strategies. Ageratum conyzoides L. has a long history of traditional use as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant pathogens, yet the phytochemical basis of its QS-inhibitory activity remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of A. conyzoides and evaluate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,772 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractUnraveling NETosis: From Immune Mechanisms to Therapeutic InnovationsAnastasia V. Poznyak, Alexey V. Churov, Gulalek Amanmyradovna Babayeva et al.Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) are integral to immune responses, serving both protective and pathological roles in inflammatory diseases. Despite increasing recognition of NETs, significant gaps remain in understanding the nuanced mechanisms of NETosis and its implications for health and disease. This review systematically explores NETosis—the formation of NETs—by elucidating the molecular signaling pathways and cellular mechanisms involved. We highlight the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 21 Feb 2026 · 1,678 accessesView PDFCite
