Characterization and ex vivo modelling of endodontic infections from the Arabian Gulf region
Abstract Aim The microbiota of endodontic infections in patients from the Arabian Gulf region (AGR) is largely unexplored. While research in different global regions has investigated the microbial composition of such infections, studies using shotgun metagenomic sequencing (SMS) alongside culture‐dependent techniques (CDT) are limited.

Making Molecular Diagnostics Faster
ABSTRACT Background Over the past 40 years, molecular diagnostic methods have evolved from multi‐step, time‐consuming protocols towards either rapid targeted tests or expansive, massively parallel testing. Aims Here we consider the speed limits of targeted molecular diagnostics, considering the three sequential required steps: nucleic acid preparation,

The Landscape of SPP1+ Macrophages Across Tissues and Diseases: A Comprehensive Review
SPP1+ macrophages represent a conserved, disease‐associated population present across cancerous and non‐cancerous conditions, involved in immunosuppression, fibrosis, lipid metabolism, phagocytosis, and other cellular processes. This review highlights their shared molecular programmes across tissues, their interactions with stromal and immune cells ...

Acne and the cutaneous microbiome: A systematic review of mechanisms and implications for treatments
Impact of Acne Therapies on the Skin Microbiome: This graphical abstract illustrates how various acne treatments affect the cutaneous microbiome, particularly focusing on Cutibacterium acnes and overall microbial diversity. Common treatments like doxycycline and benzoyl peroxide generally decrease C. acnes and reduce alpha diversity, while isotretinoin
