Selective Packaging of miR‐22 and miR‐29 Orthologues into Extracellular Vesicles of the Porcine Whipworm Trichuris Suis

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Helminths modulate host immunity, and in this respect, the porcine whipworm Trichuris suis has been explored clinically as an immunotherapy for inflammatory diseases. T. suis secretes a complex mixture of excretory/secretory products (ESP), including extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanosized membranous particles with bioactive cargoes of lipids,

Genetic characterization of Angiostrongylus larvae and their intermediate host, Achatina fulica, in Thailand.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Angiostrongyliasis is a parasitic disease caused by nematodes of the genus Angiostrongylus. Distribution of this worm corresponds to the dispersal of its main intermediate host, the giant African land snail Achatina fulica.

Estivation Strategies of Invasive Snail Pomacea canaliculata in Paddy Fields: Roles of Gut Microbiota and Digestive Gland Metabolism

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
During the summer fallow period, Pomacea canaliculata enters estivation under high temperature and drought stress yet maintains a survival rate exceeding 92%. Restructuring of the gut microbiota and metabolic adaptations in the liver, particularly the stability of fatty acid profiles, underpin its strong estivation tolerance.

Metabolic Regulation of Macrophages in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Extracellular metabolites drive metabolic rewiring of glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways in macrophages, steering their polarization toward pro‐ or anti‐inflammatory phenotypes and shaping a wide range of disease processes. Macrophages from different tissues display distinct metabolic signatures, and therapeutic strategies that target these ...

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page e478-e490, August 2026.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...
