Abstract The homogenization of agricultural landscapes has led to a decrease in pollinator diversity and abundance.In response to this decline, farmers have implemented agroecological measures, which, in meadows, aim at providing more floral resources.These measures are the availability of unmown floral strips, delayed mowing, and discouraging the
Beware to ignore the rare: how imputing zero-values can improve the quality of 16S rRNA gene studies results
Abstract Background 16S rRNA-gene sequencing is a valuable approach to characterize the taxonomic content of the whole bacterial population inhabiting a metabolic and spatial niche, providing an important opportunity to study bacteria and their role in many health and environmental mechanisms.The analysis of data produced by amplicon sequencing, ho
A tough, antibacterial and antioxidant hydrogel dressing accelerates wound healing and suppresses hypertrophic scar formation in infected wounds
Wound management is an important issue that places enormous pressure on the physical and mental health of patients, especially in cases of infection, where the increased inflammatory response could lead to severe hypertrophic scars (HSs).In this study, a Android Media Player hydrogel dressing was developed by combining the high strength and toughne
