Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormetic Triggers for Intervention in Aging, Disease and TraumaJoan Smith SonnebornHormesis refers to the ability of a chemical or physical agent to condition the physiological state of an organism to tolerate stress with low doses of otherwise harmful agents. Evolutionary evidence shows that the survival and longevity of species hinge on their optimal ability to resist stress challenge. Hormesis is a potent strategy to stimulate latent repair processes to tolerate … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,898 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMorphological Diversity of Isolated Mycobacterial Cultures in the Republic of Kazakhstan: Implications for Diagnostics and TreatmentAssiya Borsynbayeva, Kairat Turgenbayev, Gulzhauhar Sarsenova et al.The study of mycobacterial morphology in the Republic of Kazakhstan is relevant due to the increasing burden of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases. The aim of this study was to comprehensively describe the morphological characteristics of different mycobacterial species identified in Kazakhstan, which will help to improve diagnostic methods and develop new approaches to treatment. Comparative and cross-cultural analyses were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2025 · 2,205 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDiversity of Cellulolytic Bacteria from the Digestive Tract of Oryctes rhinoceros LarvaeAhmad Faisal Nasution, Erman Munir, Dwi Suryanto et al.Lignocellulose is a ubiquitous biopolymer that, once degraded into monomeric products, could be used to produce a wide range of products. Bioconversion using indigenous microbes could be a solution to the large array of cellulosic waste and it could be sourced from exotic organisms such as Asiatic rhinoceros beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros L). This study aimed to cellulolytic bacteria from the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 4 · 2 Sep 2023 · 4,976 accessesView PDF Cite
