DOES THIS LOOK INFECTED? HIDDEN HOST PLANT INFECTION BY THE PATHOGEN BOTRYTIS CINEREA ALTERS INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PLANTS, APHIDS AND THEIR NATURAL ENEMIES IN THE FIELD

Few studies have considered whether hidden (asymptomatic) plant pathogen infection alters ecological interactions at the higher trophic levels, even though such infection still affects plant physiology.We explored this question in two field experiments, where two varieties of lettuce (Little Gem, Tom Thumb) infected with Botrytis cinerea were eithe

Acute gouty arthritis is an auto-inflammatory disease caused by the deposition here of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals in joints or tissues.Excessive neutrophil recruitment into gouty lesions is a general clinical sign and induces a pain phenotype.Attenuation of successive periods of neutrophil infiltration might be a beneficial approach to achieve

Abstract Background Intercellular communication is mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs), as they enclose selectively packaged biomolecules that can be horizontally transferred from donor to recipient cells.Because all cells constantly generate and recycle EVs, here they provide accurate timed snapshots of individual pathophysiological status.Si
