Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Dynamics in Pathogens: An Evolving Frontier in Infectious Disease
Abstract: Bacterial and fungal pathogens rarely act as solitary invaders. Instead, they engage in sophisticated chemical communication known as quorum sensing (QS) to coordinate population-wide behaviours and construct structured, multicellular biofilm communities. These biofilms, composed of extracellular polymeric substances, not only facilitate microbial persistence on biotic and abiotic surfaces but also confer remarkable protection against host immune defenses and antimicrobial therapies. QS systems act as central regulators of biofilm dynamics, orchestrating …

A Review on: Cotard’s Syndrome
Abstract: Cotard’s Syndrome is a rare and severe mental health condition characterized by nihilistic delusions, in which individuals firmly believe that they are dead, no longer exist, or that parts of their body are decaying or missing. These beliefs are not symbolic or metaphorical but are experienced as absolute truths, making the disorder particularly distressing and difficult to manage. The syndrome is most commonly observed in association with major depressive disorder, …

Complex Space-Time and the Structure of Relativistic Quantum Theory
Abstract: Relativistic quantum mechanics was developed to reconcile the principles of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity. Despite its success in describing high-energy particles, the theory continues to face unresolved conceptual and mathematical difficulties, particularly in relation to the nature of time, causality, and relativistic consistency. In recent years, the idea of extending space-time into the complex domain has emerged as a useful and potentially meaningful approach to these problems. …
