Chronic stress disrupts the network among stress granules, P-bodies, and motor proteins

Stress granules (SGs) are dynamic RNA condensates that assemble rapidly in response to cellular stress following translational arrest, thereby promoting adaptation and influencing disease pathogenesis. Although SG assembly and disassembly during acute stress have been extensively...

Direct composite injection molding with bilayered three-dimensional-printed clear index: a fully digital workflow case report of post-orthodontic anterior tooth wear

Background Recently, a new generation of high-strength flowable dental composites has been introduced by manufacturers.The manufacturers claim that these materials have enhanced mechanical and physical properties and are suitable for use in a wide range of direct anterior and pos...

Comparative in vivo evaluation of colistin resistance determinants in Escherichia coli clone ST131

Background Colistin is a last-resort antimicrobial for multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative infections. Health risks associated with colistin resistance are commonly inferred from resistance phenotypes, despite limited in vivo evidence linking resistance determinants to pathog...
