  1. Watching #Pathogenic gameplay, and I feel the human was like the Mr. Burns gif. IE delicate equilibrium before the killer virus/thing (you) came in.

  2. Il panorama dei roguelite twin-stick si rinnova: Pathogenic di Aberrant Labs ribalta i cliché del genere mettendo il giocatore nei panni di un parassita. La formula originale convince il mercato, superando le 100.000 copie vendute in una sola settimana su Steam. #gamingnews #Pathogenic

  21. Could the blood of camel species help save us from serious diseases? | DW Documentary

    What’s known as #nanobodies from the blood of #camels are at the heart of a #medical revolution. Due to their special properties, these nanobodies can be used in a variety of ways, whether in the fight against #infectious diseases, in #cancer therapy or in the diagnosis of #Alzheimer's disease.

    Small #antibodies with a big impact: camel blood contains #immunological superpowers. It all began in the 1990s with a chance #discovery at the Free #University of #Brussels: students used #dromedary blood in an experiment and came across previously unknown antibodies. The university #scientists discovered that these antibodies are present in all camel species. And, they have amazing properties. Small fragments can separate from the base of the antibody -- without causing any damage and while retaining their full binding capacity.

    This was the discovery of the nanobody: a tiny, extremely robust #molecule which, due to its small size, can also penetrate areas too small to be targeted by complete antibodies. The nanobody, however, can attach itself with extremely high precision to pathogenic antigens.

    This discovery triggered a wave of innovations and shook up the big #pharmaceutical companies. In 2018, the first drug based on nanobodies went on the market, designed to combat an autoimmune #blood clotting disorder. Numerous potential applications were developed within a very short space of time. Whether in the fight against cancer, in Alzheimer's diagnostics or to kill #pathogenic #bacteria - the success of camel antibodies has been so resounding that many #medical research centers now have their own herds of llamas or alpacas.

    But why do members of the camel family in particular have such immunological superpowers? With the help of camel experts and microbiologists, the documentary sheds light on the surprising abilities of camels and the medical revolution of nanobodies.

  26. New #MysteryFungi Species Spark Disease Warning

    Story by Jess Thomson, February 26, 2024

    Several new species of fungus have been found lurking in waterways, and they might be harmful to humans.

    The new species were discovered in the sediment of riverbeds across #Spain. Many are closely related to species of #pathogenic fungi that cause infection in humans, according to a new paper in the Journal of Fungi.

    The paper notes that these types of fungus that grow in the sediment of riverbeds have not been very thoroughly studied in the past. During periods of #drought they could become airborne and infect humans and animals.

    "When sediments are exposed to air, these fungi may begin to produce many spores that disperse in search of a more suitable environment, and it is during this dispersion that they can interact with humans and animals," study author Josepa Gené, a researcher at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Spain, said in a statement.

    "The infections tend to affect only the most vulnerable population and are not transmitted between humans," Gené said. "Rather, they are the result of some form of injury, among other routes of inoculation."

    These fungi may also be able to infect animals and humans that swim in the rivers where they are living.

    "Other fungi are opportunistic pathogens of mammals, cold-blooded animals, and other creatures, which can cause mild and serious infections, not only in animals that live in the aquatic environment but also to those that they pass through it, like us when we have a swim in a river," Gené explained.

    The new species of fungus fall into the category of ascomycetes, which include #yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae (used in baking and brewing), filamentous fungi like #Penicillium (which produces the antibiotic penicillin), and various plant pathogens such as the powdery #mildews and #ergot fungi.

    "Among their unique characteristics, fungi feed on organic matter by decomposing it, rather than ingesting it like animals do, or absorbing nutrients through roots, as plants do," Rodney Rohde, a Regents' professor of clinical laboratory science at Texas State University, told Newsweek. "Unlike bacteria, which have simple prokaryotic cells, or cells without a true nucleus, fungi have complex eukaryotic cells, which do have a nucleus surrounded by a membrane-like animals and plants.

    "In the multi-level taxonomy, or naming system, that biologists use to classify lifeforms, fungi are in their own kingdom under the domain of Eukarya. Since fungi are eukaryotic-like human cells, antibiotics are not effective and we must rely on anti-fungal medications."

    The research and a further investigation could help biologists understand the potential threat posed by these fungi, and identify more like them in different environments.

    "These findings allow us not only to complete our understanding of the evolution of fungi but also to determine if some of these microorganisms may be a threat to our health," Gené said. "The research has just begun but the more information we accumulate in this regard, the more able we will be to determine, for example, if there is greater potential risk in a particular area and if access to some areas needs to be controlled."

    The researchers plan to investigate the fungi in the lab to see how they operate and grow at human body temperature, thus determining their pathogenic potential. This will show how likely it is that the fungus could infect people during periods of drought.

    "The thing is that we have a greater understanding of them now, so we can consider establishing environmental control measures. But, before we do, there is still a lot of work to be done," Gené said.

    "Evidence of disruption of #GutBacteria by glyphosate is available for poultry (Shehata et al., 2013), cattle (Krüger et al., 2013), and swine (Carman et al., 2013). Glyphosate disrupts the balance of gut bacteria in poultry (Shehata et al., 2013), increasing the ratio of #pathogenic #bacteria to other commensal microbes. #Salmonella and #Clostridium are highly resistant to glyphosate, whereas Enterococcus, Bifidobacteria, and Lactobacillus are especially susceptible. Glyphosate was proposed as a possible factor in the increased risk to Clostridium botulinum infection in cattle in Germany over the past ten to fifteen years (Krüger et al., 2013b).

    Or here’s a thought - get rid of this unnecessary, dangerous, and inhumane practice altogether (as is thankfully happening in BC).
