Architecture and Evolution of Prokaryotic Multicellularity: Common Patterns and Diversity

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Prokaryotes form diverse multicellular structures, like biofilms, filaments, and aggregates, comprising hallmark traits such as adhesion, communication, differentiation, and programmed cell death. This review explores how these forms develop, function, and evolve in response to environmental cues.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Silencing of Sporothrix schenckii GP70 Reveals Its Contribution to Fungal Adhesion, Virulence, and the Host–Fungus Interaction

Journal of Fungi
Sporothrix schenckii is one of the etiological agents of sporotrichosis, a cutaneous and subcutaneous infection distributed worldwide. Like other medically relevant fungi, its cell wall is a molecular scaffold to display virulence factors, such as ...

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in Candida spp. biofilms: In vitro and in vivo protocols

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenges in translating in vitro antimicrobial photodynamic therapy protocols to in vivo models, with a particular focus on the hurdles of standardization. The vast diversity in photosensitizers and light parameters across different target cells and models requires a rigorous optimization process.

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.

Adhesin receptors of human oral bacteria and modeling of putative adhesin-binding domains

Journal of Industrial Microbiology, 1995
Adherence by bacteria to a surface is critical to their survival in the human oral cavity. Many types of molecules are present in the saliva and serous exudates that form the acquired pellicle, a coating on the tooth surface, and serve as receptor molecules for adherent bacteria.

Microbial and host‐derived biomarkers for the diagnosis and management of peri‐implant diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives To critically evaluate the current evidence on microbial and host‐derived biomarkers for the diagnosis and management of peri‐implant diseases, with emphasis on their biological relevance, potential clinical utility, and current translational limitations.

Ascending infection of Gardnerella spp. and compartmentalized inflammatory response in fetal–maternal interface organ‐on‐chip model

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The fetal–maternal interface organ‐on‐chip was used to investigate the ascending infection of Gardnerella spp. across the decidua (DEC), chorion trophoblast (CTC), amnion mesenchymal (AMC) and amnion epithelial (AEC) compartments over 48 h.

Binding Strength of Gram-Positive Bacterial Adhesins

, 2020
Bacterial pathogens are equipped with specialized surface-exposed proteins that bind strongly to ligands on host tissues and biomaterials. These adhesins play critical roles during infection, especially during the early step of adhesion where the cells ...
