Antimicrobial blue light-bathing therapy for wound infection control

This study introduces a low-irradiance blue light therapy for wound infections, showing it effectively reduces bioburden while being safer than high-irradiance methods.

ELO-6 expression predicts longevity in isogenic populations of Caenorhabditis elegans

This study identifies ELO-6 expression as a predictor of longevity in isogenic C. elegans populations and shows its regulation by PQM-1.

Vacuolar H+-ATPase subunit a was identified as the target protein of the oomycete inhibitor fluopicolide

The paper identifies vacuolar H+-ATPase subunit a as the target of fluopicolide, an oomycete inhibitor, and suggests H+-ATPase as a novel fungicide target.

First demonstration of the FLASH effect with ultrahigh dose-rate high-energy X-rays

This paper demonstrates the first use of high-energy X-rays in FLASH radiotherapy, showing effective tumor control and tissue protection in mice.

Tissue-specific accumulation profiles of phorbol esters in Jatropha curcas and gene induction in response to abiotic and biotic stresses

The paper analyzes phorbol ester distribution in Jatropha curcas tissues and links it to gene expression under various stresses.

Photo-inactivation of Neisseria gonorrhoeae: A paradigm changing approach for combating antibiotic-resistant gonococcal infection

This study demonstrates that antimicrobial blue light (aBL) at 405 nm selectively inactivates antibiotic-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae without harming vaginal epithelial cells.
