Yield and Nutritional Composition of Forage Maize (Zea mays L.) Fertilized with Solarized Biosolids

In Mexico, forage maize is crucial for cattle feed; however, its cultivation relies on synthetic fertilizers that can contaminate water, soil, and the environment, creating a need to adopt organic production models. The objective was to evaluate the growth, yield, and nutritional...

Dietary Gradient, Blastocystis Colonisation, and Gut Microbiota Ecology in Mexican University Students: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study

Gut microbiota is shaped by interactions among diet, host characteristics, and microbial colonisation. This exploratory cross-sectional study examined associations between a dietary gradient, Blastocystis colonisation, and gut microbiota in 41 university students, seven (17.1%) o...

Integrative Experimental and Molecular Docking Analyses Reveal Phenanthroline Derivatives as Inhibitors of Cyanide-Resistant Respiration in Candida albicans

Background: Candida albicans can adapt to inhibition of the classical mitochondrial respiratory chain by activating an alternative oxidase (AOX)-dependent pathway, whereas Candida glabrata lacks detectable AOX-mediated respiration under the conditions tested. Identifying compound...

Range-Wide Geographic Variation of Major Gene Resistance ( Cr 3) to White Pine Blister Rust in Pinus strobiformis (Southwestern White Pine)

Southwestern white pine (Pinus strobiformis) is native to the U.S. and Mexico and is susceptible to the pathogen Cronartium ribicola, which causes the disease white pine blister rust. A major gene, Cr3, confers resistance to the disease. While Cr3 has been observed at low frequen...

Salivary Cobalt, Nickel, Chromium and Titanium After Fixed Orthodontic Appliance Removal: A 3-Month Pilot Longitudinal Study

Objective: Our objective was to determine the salivary levels of cobalt, nickel, chromium, and titanium ions at the end of fixed orthodontic treatment and during the post-removal period (1 and 3 months after removal of the fixed appliance). Methods: This pilot longitudinal study...
