Cervical Gene Delivery of the Antimicrobial Peptide, Human β-Defensin (HBD)-3, in a Mouse Model of Ascending Infection-Related Preterm Birth

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Approximately 40% of preterm births are preceded by microbial invasion of the intrauterine space; ascent from the vagina being the most common pathway. Within the cervical canal, antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) are important components of the ...

WRKY27‐RAP2.7 Regulatory Module Promotes Cold Tolerance via Modulation of Lignin Biosynthesis and Redox Homeostasis by Regulating Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase 7 and Glutathione S‐Transferase F6

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cold stress adversely affects plant growth and development, significantly limiting fruit yield and quality in citrus. Ichang papeda (Citrus ichangensis), a cold‐tolerant citrus species, serves as a valuable genetic resource for studying cold adaptation, yet the key genes and their modes of action underlying the cold stress response remain ...

Effector‐Mediated Spatial Reprogramming of Glycolate Oxidase Subverts Peroxisomal and Membrane‐Associated ROS Defences

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oomycete pathogens secrete hundreds of RXLR effectors into plant cells to modulate host immunity by targeting diverse plant proteins. Here, we report that the Peronophythora litchii RXLR effector PlAvh133 acts as a virulence factor and targets the litchi glycolate oxidase (GLO) LcGLO1, a key enzyme in photorespiration, thereby suppressing ...

Lily Transcription Factors LlPLATZ1 and LlMYB4 Orchestrate the Homeostasis of Heat Stress Responses via Antagonistic Regulation of LlHSF24

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress significantly damages crop yield and quality. PLATZ (PLANT A/T‐RICH SEQUENCE‐AND ZINC‐BINDING PROTEIN) transcription factors play pivotal roles in plant growth, development, and environmental stress responses. While the functions of PLATZ members in response to drought and salt stress are well characterised, their roles in heat ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.
