A Moment of Discovery winner announced! 🌟 We're thrilled to announce the winner of this year's extraordinary research and innovation image competition: ‘The explosive potential of gastrointestinal organoids’ entered by Giada Benedetti. 🎉 This vibrant image was first shortlisted by three panels: GOSH Young Peoples Advisory Group for Research (YPAG), NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) GOSH BRC stakeholders and the GOSH staff networks, and finally crowned the favourite after our recent social media vote. It originates from research into gastrointestinal diseases at our Zayed Centre for Research into Rare Diseases, showing a gut ‘mini-organ’, known as an organoid which is a tiny copy of the digestive system. During a process used to visualise specific proteins, one of the organoids exploded, revealing its inner workings and creating this wonderful image. Giada Benedetti, PhD student and winner of this year’s image competition said: "The image competition is an excellent way to spread awareness for the research and display our scientific findings more dynamically and artistically, which is something that is easily lost in our usual world of numbers and spreadsheets."

🔬Today marks the start of the #replica 2.0 Annual International Meeting, which brings together the international partners of the project for an intense training week. Every year, the members of the Replica team fly to #catania, at the CoEHAR center, to discuss lessons learned, harmonize Standard Operation Procedures for phase 2 and continue the laboratory training emphasizing critical steps for harmonization.  #harmonization #replicationstudies #harmreduction Sbarro Health Research Organization Ilmu Kelautan Universitas Padjadjaran Massimo Caruso Giovanni Li Volti 👉 Read about the event https://lnkd.in/dqPVk9sx

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🌱 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 – 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗜𝗣𝗠 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 Carl Rentes represented Vivent Biosignals at the New IPM 2024 - Emerging Opportunities Symposium in the UK this week. In his talk, Carl discussed Plant Electrophysiology and how real-time plant responses can support novel Integrated Pest Management practices.    It was a valuable opportunity to discuss with UK academics and UK global partners the latest developments in using Vivent #biosensors as a tool to detect biotic stress, more specifically Nematode infestations and the responses of plants to nematicides. We want to thank the organizers of the 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗜𝗣𝗠 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺: Syed Farooq Abbas Shah, Tariq Butt, Ginu Rajan, Leshan Uggalla, Ian Baxter, Hamzah Bhatti, Swansea University, host Natural Products BioHUB and the IBMA - International Biocontrol Manufacturers Association.   📧 Not able to attend but still curious about the topic?

My article title: [Staphylococcus aureus a Gram-positive Coccid Bacterium Causing Microbial Infections, and Toxins Symptoms Including Food Poisoning], that was published in journal EC microbiology 16:11 (2020) reached 1,000 international scientists reads and citations    Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus is the most dangerous of all of the many common Staphylococcal species. These gram-positive, sphere-shaped bacteria causing to human skin infections, pneumonia, heart valve infections and bone infections. In addition, it is a food-borne pathogen contaminates foods and secrete heat-stable enterotoxins causing food poisoning and illness. Staphylococcus food poisoning is characterized by a sudden start of nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, and most people have diarrhea. Symptoms usually develop within 30 minutes to 8 hours after eating or drinking an item containing the bacteria toxins. Symptoms usually last no longer than one day, and severe illness is very rare. The incidence of S. aureus bacteremia (SAB) has increased recently significantly and became a leading cause of bloodstream infections due to the emerging methicillin resistant S. aureus (MSRA). This MSRA poses a clinical challenge as antibiotics resistant strain infections with a worse patient outcome compared to the infection by methicillin sensitive S. aureus (MSSA). The antibiotic vancomycin is the only efficient antibiotic for the treatment of MSRA infections. The increasing incidence of emerging antibiotic vancomycin resistance S. aureus became very serious microbial pathogen and increase the need for developing new antibiotics or immunotherapy against the infection by the emerging S. aureus multidrug-resistant (superbug SA) for patient’s treatment, and also increase the need in developing vaccines to protect human from these serous S. aureus infections.   Citation: Osama O Ibrahim. “Staphylococcus aureus a Gram-positive Coccid Bacterium Causing Microbial Infections, and Toxins Symptoms Including Food Poisoning”.

Researchers unraveling the mysteries of our digestive system have found 'obelisks' deep within our intestines. These structures may hold the key to understanding gut health and digestion, raising significant possibilities for future research.
