NicholsonNote:  From the abstract: "Microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing threat to public health across the world. Historically, resistance to antibiotics has been associated with reduced fitness. A growing body of evidence indicates that resistance to rifampin, a frontline antibiotic used to treat mycobacterial and biofilm-associated infections, may increase fitness given an appropriate environment even in the absence of the selective antibiotic. Here, we experimentally confirm this phenomenon by directly comparing the fitness of multiple rifampin-resistant mutants of  Bacillus subtilis  in rich LB medium and an asparagine minimal medium."Journal Impact Factor:  4.792Funding:  "NNX14AT38G/NASA/NASA/United States; FLA-MCS-005500/U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA); FLA-MCS-006066/U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)." 4Bairamian D, Sha S, Rolhion N, Sokol H, Dorothée G, Lemere CA, Krantic S.Microbiota in neuroinflammation and synaptic dysfunction: A focus on Alzheimer's disease.Mol Neurodegener. 2022 Mar 5;17:19.

Review. Online ahead of print.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35283170Note:  From the abstract: "We reviewed the responses of the neuromuscular properties of mainly the soleus and possible mechanisms. Sensory nervous activity in response to passive shortening and/or active contraction, associated with plantar-flexion or dorsi-flexion of the ankle joints, may play an essential role in the regulation of muscle properties. Passive shortening of the muscle fibers and sarcomeres inhibits the development of tension, electromyogram (EMG), and afferent neurogram. Remodeling of the sarcomeres, which decreases the total sarcomere number in a single muscle fiber causing recovery of the length in each sarcomere, is induced in the soleus following chronic unloading. Although EMG activity and tension development in each sarcomere are increased, the total tension produced by the whole muscle is still less owing to the lower sarcomere number. Therefore, muscle atrophy continues to progress." 6Ji G, Chang H, Yang M, Chen H, Wang T, Liu X, Lv K, Li Y, Song B, Qu L.The mitochondrial proteomic changes of rat hippocampus induced by 28-day simulated microgravity.PLoS One. 2022 Mar 10;17(3):e0265108.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35271667Note:  Hindlimb unloading study.
