In article 2202432 by Tong-Yi Sun, Yuanyuan Gao, Li-Li Li, and co-workers, a dynamically responsive core–shell nanogel (CSNG) designed. CSNG can achieve controlled temporal release antimicrobial peptide prebiotic, which high selective sterilization pathogenic bacteria promote growth beneficial simultane...

Twelve slow-growing virus isolates propagated in tissue culture from cattle with epididymitis and vaginitis were identified as herpes viruses by virtue of their biological, physicochemical and morphological characteristics. None of the 12 virus strains proved to be serologically related to the infectious pustular vulvo-vaginitis-infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IPV-IBR) virus, but a further 3...
