Type I interferon overactivation in sera of patients with anti‐MDA5‐positive dermatomyositis‐associated interstitial lung disease

Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.
Sera from patients with anti‐MDA5‐positive dermatomyositis‐associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) exhibit significantly higher type I interferon (IFN‐I) bioactivity and interferon‐stimulated gene‐inducing activity compared to anti‐ARS‐positive ILD and healthy controls.

Peptide‐directed nanovehicles enabling tumor‐selective ROS amplification and antitumor immunity

VIEW, EarlyView.
Cancer cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress, yet exploit immune tolerance to escape destruction. In contrast, their metabolic profile is markedly altered to support rapid proliferation, accompanied by elevated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

The tryptophan prenyltransferase ComQ from Bacillus subtilis 168 can prenylate daptomycin at Trp1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
ComQ168 from Bacillus subtilis 168 catalyzes C‐terminal tryptophan farnesylation of ComX to generate a competence‐inducing pheromone. Recombinant ComQ168 also modifies cyclic peptides, including Daptomycin, likely at the N‐terminal tryptophan. Structural modeling highlights a C‐terminal binding region, supporting substrate promiscuity and establishing ...

Innovative Field Applications of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Medicinal Plant Products for Disease Control in Aquaculture

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disease outbreaks and the associated reliance on antibiotics pose major constraints to the sustainability of modern aquaculture. As regulatory pressures increase and consumer demand shifts toward residue‐free production, diverse biological interventions are gaining prominence as viable alternatives to chemotherapeutics.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Chemical Optimization of Temporin A–L Peptides: From Native Isoforms to Enhanced Antimicrobial Analogs

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Temporins, among antimicrobial peptides, are short frog‐derived molecules with potent antibacterial activity. This review highlights chemical optimization strategies applied to temporins A–L, showing how sequence tuning modulates structure, stability, and selectivity, enabling improved activity against resistant pathogens.

Two Novel 1,4‐Naphthoquinone Derivatives as Potent Agents Against Multidrug‐Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pathogenic Gram‐Positive Bacteria

Drug Development Research, Volume 87, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Drug‐resistant bacteria such as Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Quinolone‐resistant S. aureus (QRSA), are a growing problem, creating a need for the development of novel antimicrobial agents. In this study, we designed and synthesized two novel 1,4‐naphthoquinone derivatives, LHN‐1034 and LHN‐1035, and evaluated their ...

Biological Control Potential of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KB3 Isolated from the Feces of Allomyrina dichotoma Larvae

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2016
Most biocontrol agents for plant diseases have been isolated from sources such as soils and plants. As an alternative source, we examined the feces of tertiary larvae of the herbivorous rhino beetle, Allomyrina dichotoma for presence of biocontrol-active

The Dual Role of the Gut Microbiota in Cancer Chemoresistance

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Comparison between Microbiota and Cancer therapy. ABSTRACT Chemoresistance is one of the primary reasons that cancer chemotherapy fails to deliver successful treatment outcomes and contributes to poor overall survival rates for patients with cancer. New research has begun to shed light on the effects of the gut microbiome (GM).
