    Abstract Introduction: High temperature alkaline hydrolysis (AH) is recognized as an alternative method for sterilization and disposition of animal carcasses and human remains. The aim of this study is to validate the low temperature (LT) AH process specific to its use in the Bio-Response Solutions, Inc. Human-28 LT System.
    Methods: A 313-lb pig was processed using the manufacturers recommended cycle parameters. Stainless steel sample vials containing spore suspensions of
    Results: Complete inactivation of spores and digestion of animal tissue were achieved after processing in the Bio-Response Solutions Human-28 LT Alkaline Hydrolysis System. Complete inactivation of spores was achieved when exposed to heat in the animal carcass and headspace. No peptide fragments larger than 2500 Da were observed in the treatment effluent.
    Discussion: The Bio-Response Solutions, Inc. Human-28 LT Alkaline Hydrolysis System was as effective as high-temperature alkaline hydrolysis for use on animal and human tissue.
    Conclusion: LT AH for tissue and bodies exceeded the sterility assurance level III of the US State and Territorial Association on Alternative Treatment Technologies and sterility requirements for animal biosafety level-3 and -4 facilities. LT AH process validated destruction of prion-sized particles.

    Abstract Background: Substantial research has been devoted to elucidating the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the different hallmarks of cancer. Consequently, EVs are increasingly explored as a source of cancer biomarkers in body fluids. However, the heterogeneity in EVs, the complexity of body fluids, and the diversity in methods available for EV analysis, challenge the development and translation of EV-based biomarker assays.
    Content: Essential steps in EV-associated biomarker development are emphasized covering biobanking, biomarker discovery, verification and validation, and clinical implementation. A meticulous study design is essential and ideally results from close interactions between clinicians and EV researchers. A plethora of different EV preparation protocols exists which warrants quality control and transparency to ensure reproducibility and thus enable verification of EV-associated biomarker candidates identified in the discovery phase in subsequent independent cohorts. The development of an EV-associated biomarker assay requires thorough analytical and clinical validation. Finally, regulatory affairs must be considered for clinical implementation of EV-based biomarker assays.
    Summary: In this review, the current challenges that prevent us from exploiting the full potential of EV-based biomarker assays are identified. Guidelines and tools to overcome these hurdles are highlighted and are crucial to advance EV-based biomarker assays into clinical use.

    Abstract Indoor air pollution affects the global population, especially in developed countries where people spend around 90% of their time indoors. The recent pandemic exacerbated the exposure by relying on indoor spaces and a teleworking lifestyle. VOCs are a group of indoor air pollutants with harmful effects on human health at low concentrations. It is widespread that plants can remove indoor VOCs. To this day, research has combined principles of phytoremediation, biofiltration, and bioremediation into a holistic and sustainable technology called botanical biofiltration. Overall, it is sustained that its main advantage is the capacity to break down and biodegrade pollutants using low energy input. This differs from traditional systems that transfer VOCs to another phase. Furthermore, it offers additional benefits like decreased indoor air health costs, enhanced work productivity, and well-being. However, many disparities exist within the field regarding the role of plants, substrate, and phyllosphere bacteria. Yet their role has been theorized; its stability is poorly known for an engineering approach. Previous research has not addressed the bioaugmentation of the phyllosphere to increase the performance, which could boost the system. Moreover, most experiments have studied passive potted plant systems at a lab scale using small chambers, making it difficult to extrapolate findings into tangible parameters to engineer the technology. Active systems are believed to be more efficient yet require more maintenance and knowledge expertize; besides, the impact of the active flow on the long term is not fully understood. Besides, modeling the system has been oversimplified, limiting the understanding and optimization. This review sheds light on the field's gains and gaps, like concepts, experiments, and modeling. We believe that embracing a multidisciplinary approach encompassing experiments, multiphysics modeling, microbial community analysis, and coworking with the indoor air sector will enable the optimization of the technology and facilitate its adoption.

    Abstract Background: Extended pelvic surgery with neurovascular or bony resections in gynecological oncology has significant impact on quality of life (QoL) and high morbidity. The objective of this systematic review was to provide an overview of QoL, morbidity and mortality following these procedures.
    Methods: The registered PROSPERO protocol included database-specific search strategies. Studies from 1966 onwards reporting on QoL after extended pelvic surgery with neurovascular or bony resections for gynecological cancer were considered eligible. All others were excluded. Study selection (Rayyan), data extraction, rating of evidence (GRADE) and risk of bias (ROBINS-I) were performed independently by two reviewers.
    Results: Of 349 identified records, 121 patients from 11 studies were included-one prospective study, seven retrospective studies, and three case reports. All studies were of very low quality and with an overall serious risk of bias. Primary tumor location was the cervix (n = 78, 48.9%), vulva (n = 30, 18.4%), uterus (n = 21, 12.9%), endometrium (n = 15, 9.2%), ovary (n = 8, 4.9%), (neo)vagina (n = 3, 1.8%), Gartner duct/paracolpium (n = 1, 0.6%), or synchronous tumors (n = 3, 1.8%), or were not reported (n = 4, 2.5%). Bony resections included the pelvic bone (n = 36), sacrum (n = 2), and transverse process of L5 (n = 1). Margins were negative in 70 patients and positive in 13 patients. Thirty-day mortality was 1.7% (2/121). Three studies used validated QoL questionnaires and seven used non-validated measurements; all reported acceptable QoL postoperatively.
    Conclusions: In this highly selected patient group, mortality and QoL seem to be acceptable, with a high morbidity rate. This comprehensive study will help to inform eligible patients about the outcomes of extended pelvic surgery with neurovascular or bony resections. Future collaborative studies can enable the collection of QoL data in a validated, uniform manner.

    Abstract Viruses evolve many strategies to ensure the efficient synthesis of their proteins. One such strategy is the inhibition of the integrated stress response-the mechanism through which infected cells arrest translation through the phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2α). We have recently shown that the human common cold betacoronavirus OC43 actively inhibits eIF2α phosphorylation in response to sodium arsenite, a potent inducer of oxidative stress. In this work, we examined the modulation of integrated stress responses by OC43 and demonstrated that the negative feedback regulator of eIF2α phosphorylation GADD34 is strongly induced in infected cells. However, the upregulation of GADD34 expression induced by OC43 was independent from the activation of the integrated stress response and was not required for the inhibition of eIF2α phosphorylation in virus-infected cells. Our work reveals a complex interplay between the common cold coronavirus and the integrated stress response, in which efficient viral protein synthesis is ensured by the inhibition of eIF2α phosphorylation but the GADD34 negative feedback loop is disrupted.
