Tropical peatlands in Southeast Asia have experienced widespread subsidence due to forest clearance and drainage for agriculture, oil palm and pulp wood production, causing concerns about their function as a long-term carbon store.Peatland drainage leads to subsidence (lowering of peatland surface), an indicator of degraded peatlands, while stabili
The incidence of food allergies in western countries has increased dramatically in recent decades.Tolerance to food antigens relies on mucosal CD103+ dendritic cells (DCs), which promote differentiation of regulatory T (Treg) cells.We show that 03.2150.400 high-fiber feeding in mice improved oral tolerance and protected from food allergy.High-fiber
Primary renal myoepithelial carcinoma is an exceedingly rare neoplasm with an aggressive phenotype and Ewing sarcoma breakpoint region 1 (EWSR1) rearrangement in a small fraction of cases.In addition to its rarity, the diagnosis can be challenging for the pathologist due to morphologic heterogeneity, particularly on the biopsy specimen.At times, im
Objective: The oral microbiota has been deeply studied by high-throughput sequencing techniques.However, although the interproximal regions have one of the highest caries rates in the oral cavity, information about the bacterial composition at those sites is scarce.Methods: In this study, we used 16S rRNA Illumina sequencing to describe the microbi
