Understanding exosomes in regenerative dentistry
Abstract Background Regenerative dentistry is shifting from cell‐based strategies to cell‐free biologics capable of orchestrating intricate tissue repair. Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles carrying bioactive molecular payloads, have emerged as central modulators of intercellular communication.

The YfiBNR signal transduction mechanism reveals novel targets for the evolution of persistent Pseudomonas aeruginosa in cystic fibrosis airways [PDF]
The genetic adaptation of pathogens in host tissue plays a key role in the establishment of chronic infections. While whole genome sequencing has opened up the analysis of genetic changes occurring during long-term infections, the identification and ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Structural biology of bacterial response regulator proteins and their complexes with cognate ligands [PDF]
Two bacterial response regulator systems were studied in this thesis. NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography were used to determine the structures of both domains of the antibiotic sensor TipAL, as well as of the c-di-GMP receptor PA4608, in ...

ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal interstitial lung disease of unknown cause, marked by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen. This pathological accumulation results in progressive destruction of the lung architecture and ultimately leads to respiratory failure.

Mechanisms of cyclic-di-GMP signaling : insight into the biochemistry, signal transduction and regulation of the bacterial second messenger cyclic-di-GMP [PDF]
Bacteria are able to switch between two mutually exclusive lifestyles, motile single cells and sedentary multicellular communities that colonize surfaces.

Abstract Bacterial cells use multiple environmental cues to regulate levels of the second messenger cyclic dimeric GMP. This compound influences key lifestyle decisions such as motility, biofilm formation, or virulence. Although many diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) combined with various sensory domains have been studied previously, how distinct inputs are ...

Molsidomine inhibits the chemoattractant-induced respiratory burst in human neutrophils via a no-independent mechanism [PDF]
3-Morpholino-sydnonimine (SIN-1) is a NO-releasing compound which mimics the effects of cGMP through activation of soluble guanylyl cyclase. Its prodrug, molsidomine (SIN-10), does not release NO but does modulate various cell functions.
