However, little is known about its domestication use these regions. In this study, ceramic residues large sample pre-Columbian cultures Central America were analyzed using archaeogenomic biochemical approaches. Here we show, for first time, widespread out native Amazonian area origin, extending back 5000 years,...
The emphasis of the JFA on field methods resonates strongly with current disciplinary interest in multivocality and participatory research.

Bacterial biofilms are the leading cause of delayed healing in chronic wounds. Aminoglycoside antibiotics, such as gentamicin (Gent), ineffective against biofilm cells they maintain proton motive force below threshold for drug uptake. We employ a novel aminoglycoside adjuvant, palmitoleic acid (PA), to facilitate Here, we propose dual strategy eradicate wound infection; utilizing ultrasound-stimulated nanodroplets (US+ND) improve penetration combination Gent/PA. A infection model was...
