The high host genetic background of tissue biopsies hinders the application of shotgun metagenomic sequencing in characterizing the tissue microbiota.We proposed an optimized method that removed host DNA from colon bi...
The probiotic products market has experienced significant growth in recent years,driven by increasing consumer demand for health benefits.This demand is largely fueled by the widespread promotion of probiotic products...
The post-harvest processing of coffee plays a crucial role in developing high-quality beverages with differential sensory attributes.The present study aims to determine the yeast diversity associated with spontaneous ...
BACKGROUND Large abdominal wall defect(LAWD)caused by shotgun wound is rarely reported.CASE SUMMARY Herein,we describe a case of LAWD caused by a gunshot wound in which the abdominal wall was reconstructed in stages,i...
