Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Crossroads between bacterial and mammalian glycosyltransferases

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
Bacterial glycosyltransferases often synthesize the same glycan linkages as mammalian glycosyltransferases, yet they usually have very little sequence identity.

Antigen-specific acquired immunity in human brucellosis: implications for diagnosis, prognosis, and vaccine development. [PDF]

, 2012
Brucella spp., are Gram negative bacteria that cause disease by growing within monocyte/macrophage lineage cells. Clinical manifestations of brucellosis are immune mediated, not due to bacterial virulence factors.

Characterizing the salivary RNA landscape to identify potential diagnostic, prognostic, and follow‐up biomarkers for breast cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study explores salivary RNA for breast cancer (BC) diagnosis, prognosis, and follow‐up. High‐throughput RNA sequencing identified distinct salivary RNA signatures, including novel transcripts, that differentiate BC from healthy controls, characterize histological and molecular subtypes, and indicate lymph node involvement.

Antibody-guided identification of Achromobacter xylosoxidans protein antigens in cystic fibrosis

mSphere
Persistent bacterial airway infection is a hallmark feature of cystic fibrosis (CF). Achromobacter spp. are gram-negative rods that can cause persistent airway infection in people with CF (pwCF), but the knowledge of host immune responses to these ...

Parasite Carbohydrate Vaccines

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Vaccination is an efficient means of combating infectious disease burden globally. However, routine vaccines for the world's major human parasitic diseases do not yet exist. Vaccines based on carbohydrate antigens are a viable option for parasite vaccine
