Pyrazole‐Derived Antibacterial Compounds Effectively Treat Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infections by Inhibiting Aspartate Transcarbamoylase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a novel antibacterial mechanism against MRSA, in which the compound Py‐27 selectively targets and inhibits aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), a key enzyme in pyrimidine synthesis. This inhibition disrupts DNA replication, induces oxidative damage, leading to potent bactericidal activity.

Histidine Supplementation Stabilizes Hearing and Vision and Improves Growth in HARS1‐Related Autosomal Recessive Disorder Associated With Usher‐Like Symptoms

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive HARS1‐related disorder (originally described as Usher syndrome type 3B) caused by a homozygous Y454S variant in the histidyl‐tRNA synthetase gene (HARS1) is characterized by progressive sensorineural hearing and vision loss and respiratory deterioration with risk for sudden death following febrile illnesses.

Age‐associated immune dysregulation links to disease severity in macrolide‐resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia: Insights from a comparative juvenile–adult mouse model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Macrolide‐resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MRMP) infected both juvenile and adult mice, with results compared to normal juvenile mice. The findings revealed comparable bacterial loads between juvenile and adult mice, yet juvenile mice exhibited more severe lung damage and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines.
