Note: 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.”

Note: From the introduction: “In this opinion paper, we will briefly review the facts that are potentially relevant for predicting alterations in the ventral and dorsal pathways during the actual spaceflight and in ground-based microgravity analogs. We will also discuss the idea that the dorsal and ventral streams may be affected differently during a microgravity-stimulated recalibration of sensorimotor coordination.” This article and the article above (Glukhikh et al.) are part of Research Topic “Brains in Space: Effects of Spaceflight on the Human Brain and Behavior” (https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/19134/brains-in-space-effects-of-spaceflight-on-the-human-brain-and-behavior#articles).

Note: 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.”
