The Leishmania phosphatase PTP1, and possibly the genetically similar PTP2, interacts with the Leishmania transmembrane protein DUF21. When both ptp1 and ptp2 are knocked out of Leishmania (LdΔPTP1/2), the parasite can no longer survive without magnesium in vitro and has reduced viability in the host macrophage. Conversely, in duf21 knockout (LdΔDUF21),

Natural occurrence of drug resistance mutations to the HIV‐1 capsid inhibitor lenacapavir
Abstract Aims Lenacapavir (LEN) is a first‐in‐class HIV‐1 capsid inhibitor. We investigated the natural occurrence of LEN drug resistance mutations (DRM) in HIV‐1 sequences from LEN treatment‐naïve individuals. Methods We analysed all available HIV‐1 capsid sequences (n = 21 646) from individuals never exposed to LEN from the Los Alamos National ...

Spatial Transcriptomic Assessments of Gene Expression Profiles in Human Peri‐Implant Lesions
ABSTRACT Aim To analyse gene expression profiles in human tissue samples obtained from dental implant sites with or without peri‐implantitis. Materials and Methods Soft‐tissue biopsy samples obtained from patients presenting with implants with severe peri‐implantitis and adjacent reference implants with no signs of peri‐implantitis were analysed by ...

Abstract In teleost fishes, cortisol is the major corticoid and has both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions. However, how fish tissues discriminate between these distinct corticosteroid actions is unclear. In mammals, the major factors responsible for intracellular corticosteroid regulation are glucocorticoid receptors (grs) and the ...

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.

Targeted Deletion of the Cytopathogenic Toxin A Gene in Sneathia vaginalis
Sneathia vaginalis is emerging as an important marker for preterm birth. Through this study, we developed a method for site‐directed mutagenesis in this species. The gene encoding the cytopathogenic toxin A (CptA) was deleted as a proof of principle, and the deletion mutant revealed that CptA is indispensable for the cytotoxic and hemolytic activities ...
