Invasive bacterial infections in Gambians with sickle cell anaemia in an era of widespread Pneumococcal and Haemophilus influenzae type B vaccination [PDF]
Background: There is relatively little data on the aetiology of bacterial infections in patients with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) in West Africa, and no data from countries that have implemented conjugate vaccines against both Streptococcus pneumoniae and ...

Rewiring Neuroimmunity: Nanoplatform Innovations for CNS Disease Therapy
This review explores emerging nanoplatform strategies designed to modulate neuroimmune responses for treating central nervous system (CNS) disorders. It examines structural and microenvironmental barriers, advances in multifunctional and targeted nanotechnologies, and highlights clinical progress and translational challenges, offering insights into the

Metabiotic Medicine of Symbiotic Corynebacteria: Prevention, Treatment and Immunological Safety
Relevance. Acute respiratory diseases (ARD) occupy a leading position in infectious pathology. Patients who often suffer from the acute respiratory diseases, in most cases have an ENT pathology against the background of immunodeficiency state.

CpG and Interleukin-15 Synergize to Enhance IFN-γ Production by Activated CD8+ T Cells [PDF]
Interleukin-15 (IL-15) regulates the development and maintenance of memory CD8+ T cells. Paradoxically, we previously reported that IL-15 could enhance CD8+ T-cell responses to IL-12, a proinflammatory cytokine required for optimal priming of effector ...

Extracellular matrix remodeling is crucial in cancer progression. Using a peptide to probe the tension of ECM fibers, it was found that Fibronectin fibers gradually lose tension as human breast carcinoma progresses, while their tension is maintained in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), the non‐invasive precursor of breast cancer. This loss of tension is

Role of O-Acetylation in the Immunogenicity of Bacterial Polysaccharide Vaccines
The incidence of infectious diseases caused by several bacterial pathogens such as Haemophilus influenzae type b, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Neisseria meningitidis, has been dramatically reduced over the last 25 years through the use of glycoconjugate

Bacterial genomics and vaccine design
Complete genome sequences are available for an increasing number of pathogenic bacteria. These new data are beginning to make an impact on the understanding of bacterial evolution and virulence. Thus far, however, vaccine development has had little benefit from genomics.

Self‐Adjusting Engineered Probiotic for Targeted Tumor Colonization and Local Therapeutics Delivery
Zou et al. developed an engineered strain of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 with precise targeting abilities for colonization and on‐demand payload release. The engineered probiotic survives and embolizes tumors only in the presence of more than 5 mM L‐lactate. Furthermore, the introduction of an α‐hemolysin circuit enhances its anti‐tumor effect.

INTRODUCTION. The completeness of virus inactivation and the identity of the vaccine strain are essential parameters for the safety and quality of inactivated virus vaccines, which should be controlled during vaccine development and production. Currently,

Salmonella Typhi, Paratyphi A, Enteritidis and Typhimurium core proteomes reveal differentially expressed proteins linked to the cell surface and pathogenicity [PDF]
Background: Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica contains more than 2,600 serovars of which four are of major medical relevance for humans. While the typhoidal serovars (Typhi and Paratyphi A) are human-restricted and cause enteric fever, non-typhoidal ...
