Such conflict is often managed by defense mechanisms rooted in denial of the loss. For example, the euphemistic phrase “went missing” is often used instead of saying “lost.” In envy, the loss is often a “virtual” loss. What is envied was never possessed. It had no hope of ...
When plants take up O3, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed and accumulate in plant tissues. These ROS can induce a signaling cascade to initiate defense and damage-repair mechanisms that involve compounds such as ethylene and jasmonic acid (Gupta et al.2023; Singh et al.2023). But as...
but also due to increasing nutrient loads. Possible mechanisms behind negative effects of increased nitrogen fertilization on insect herbivores include host-plant changes in elemental stoichiometry, nutritional geometry, essential micronutrients, and
Diehl M, Chui H, Hay EL, Lumley MA, Grühn D, Labouvie-Vief G. Change in coping and defense mechanisms across adulthood: longitudinal findings in a European American sample.Dev Psychol. 2014;50(2):634–648. doi:10.1037/a0033619
Additionally, because of this functional versatility, researchers have begun to explore OMVs as a platform for bioengineering applications. In this Review, we discuss recent advances in the study of OMVs, focusing on new insights into the mechanisms of biogenesis and the functions of these vesicles....
In addition to inhibiting axillary lymph node metastasis, it can also enhance immune defense mechanisms and tumoricidal effects in breast cancer. In a study, combined preoperative tumor cryoablation and ipilimumab therapy demonstrated potential intratumoral and systemic immune effects with better safety; ...
4). Additionally, peptides originating from vertebrates such as defensins and cathelicidins can exert immunomodulatory effects by activating, inhibiting and or recruiting immune cells offering broader infection control in humans (Fig. 4)26.

Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB) have experienced an alarming surge in prevalence in recent years, escalating into a critical global healthcare crisis. As carbapenems represent the last line of defense against such pathogens, infections caused by CR-GNB have become increasingly cha...
Antibiotic resistant bacteria persist throughout the world because they have evolved the ability to express various defense mechanisms to cope with antibiotics and the immune system; thus, low-cost strategies for the treatment of these bacteria are needed, such as the usage of environmental minerals....
