Interaction of Acinetobacter sp. RIT 592 induces the production of broad-spectrum antibiotics in Exiguobacterium sp. RIT 594

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most alarming global public health challenges of the 21st century.Over 3 million antimicrobial-resistant infections occur in the United States annually, with nearly 50,000 cases being fatal.Innovations in drug discovery methods and platforms are crucial to identify novel antibiotics to combat AMR.We pres

ER stress affects processing of MHC class I-associated peptides

Abstract Background Viral infection and neoplastic transformation trigger endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.Thus, a large proportion of the cells that must be recognized by the immune system are stressed cells.Cells respond to ER stress by launching the unfolded protein response (UPR).The UPR regulates the two key processes that control major histo

Stormwater best management practices: Experimental evaluation of chemical cocktails mobilized by freshwater salinization syndrome

Freshwater Salinization Syndrome (FSS) refers to the suite of physical, biological, and chemical impacts of salt ions on the degradation of natural, engineered, and social systems.Impacts of FSS on mobilization of chemical cocktails has been documented in streams and groundwater, but little research has focused on the effects of FSS on stormwater b
