Polyphosphates Attenuate Interleukin‐12 Production in Macrophages Infected With Legionella pneumophila

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
Legionella pneumophila infection leads to the release of pathogen‐associated molecular patterns, which recruits the adaptor protein MYD88, initiating both activating (e.g., NF‐κB) and inhibitory (e.g., PI3K/AKT) signaling pathways that regulate IL‐12 gene expression.

Wave Mechanics of Ciliary Proteins: Quantum‐Enabled Sensing and Energy Transfer in the “Cellular Antenna”

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review surveys eukaryotic cilia as putative quantum‐enabled sensory and regulatory centers. It highlights their multifaceted roles in the cell, focuses on the nontrivial roles of quantum mechanics in their membrane and cytoskeletal proteins, and introduces the essential building blocks enabling quantum properties to survive in the warm, wet, and ...

Toward Efficient Cellulosic Biomass Breakdown: Enzymatic Innovation and Kinetic Insights

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 6, June 2026.
By combining a processive GH7, CBM2a, and GH3 into single enzyme, the GCG fusion protein effectively breaks down crystalline cellulose. This tri‐domain architecture reduces cellobiose inhibition at the cellulose surface allowing for the simultaneous targeting of the substrate, depolymerization, and removal of products.

Screening of the Anti-amoebic Effect of Boric Acid on Acanthamoeba spp. and Its Cytotoxic Activity on Human Neuroblastoma and Keratinocyte Cell Lines

Düzce Tıp Fakültesi Dergisi
Aim: Acanthamoeba spp. infections are rare but may cause severe keratitis. Boric acid (BA) is widely used in ophthalmic solutions because of its buffering and antiseptic properties. This study aimed to evaluate the direct anti-amoebic activity of BA on Acanthamoeba spp.

Predator–Microbe Dynamics Inform Strategies for Robust Synthetic Community Assembly

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
This Review introduces ecological principles of predator–prey interactions as a new dimension in SynCom design. By linking microbial defence traits, encounter dynamics, and adaptive buffering, it outlines a framework for constructing predator‐resistant synthetic communities with enhanced resilience, stability, and functional performance under natural ...
