Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene-6 inhibits endoplasmic reticulum stress in the ischemic mouse kidney

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Kidney tissue injury in renal artery stenosis (RAS) involves inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), and mitochondria damage. Tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene-6 (TSG-6), an endogenous reparative molecule, may decrease ERS and ...

Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

Intrinsically robust and scalable biofilm segmentation under diverse physical growth conditions

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Developmental patterning is a shared feature across biological systems ranging from vertebrates to bacterial biofilms. While vertebrate patterning benefits from well-controlled homeostatic environments, bacterial biofilms can grow in diverse ...

Biophysical analysis of angiotensin II and amyloid‐β cross‐interaction in aggregation and membrane disruption

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Angiotensin II (AngII), a neuropeptide, interacts with amyloid‐β (Aβ), a key player in Alzheimer's disease. This study reveals that AngII reduces Aβ aggregation and membrane disruption in vitro. Biophysical assays and molecular modeling suggest AngII binds disordered Aβ forms, potentially modulating early amyloidogenic events and contributing to ...
