[Scorpion toxins and defensins].

Comptes rendus des seances de la Societe de biologie et de ses filiales, 1998
Les venins de scorpion contiennent un grand nombre de neurotoxines peptidiques qui constituent un ensemble de familles molécu­laires à haut degré de polymorphisme, mais qui ont en commun une architecture semblable. Cette architecture se retrouve dans des peptides antibactériens circulants de la famille des défensines, qui s'apparentent tout ...

Synovial interleukin‐6 point‐of‐care testing, alone and combined with D‐dimer, supports rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, Volume 34, Issue 10, Page 3627-3636, October 2026.
Abstract Purpose Data on the reliability of point‐of‐care (POC) tests for the rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) using synovial fluid (SF) D‐dimer (DD), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and procalcitonin (PCT) are limited. This study aimed to address this issue by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of POC tests for SF DD, IL‐6 and PCT in ...

Structural and Stability Analysis of de Novo Designed Proteins Incorporating a Plant Self‐Incompatibility Motif

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 1990-2001, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Artificial protein design enables the creation of stable scaffolds beyond those evolved in nature. Incorporation of native functional motifs into de novo scaffolds provides a promising strategy to mimic natural interactions while altering structural frameworks.

The Fungal Defensin Family Enlarged

, 2014
Fungi are an emerging source of peptide antibiotics. With the availability of a large number of model fungal genome sequences, we can expect that more and more fungal defensin-like peptides (fDLPs) will be discovered by sequence similarity search.

Preliminary Evidence Suggests the Transcriptomic Response of Tricolored Bats to White‐Nose Syndrome Is Similar but Not Identical to That of Little Brown Bats

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
In this study, we evaluate gene expression of tricolored bats in response to white‐nose syndrome and compare it to that of little brown bats. We found that tricolored bats show evidence of a similar transcriptomic immune response to little brown bats, sharing pathways and some genes.

Lost and Found: Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Matrix Metalloproteinase 1

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Despite considerable overall improvements in the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) reference genome over the past two decades, some genes are missing in the current reference assembly (Amel_HAv3.1), potentially interfering with the meaningfulness of downstream analyses.

Longitudinal Changes in Stone Composition and Histopathological and Proteomic Characterization of a Matrix Stone: A Case Report

IJU Case Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Matrix stones are rare urinary calculi composed predominantly of organic matrix, with poorly understood pathogenesis. We herein report a case involving refractory matrix stones with longitudinal compositional changes and characterize the final specimen using histopathological and proteomic analyses. Case Presentation A 54‐year‐old

Helicobacter pylori Infection Remodels Neutrophil‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles, Promoting Stress and Apoptosis in Infected Epithelial Cells

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2026.
We report that Helicobacter pylori reprograms neutrophils to release extracellular vesicles (HPN‐EVs) with distinct biophysical and molecular features. These neutrophil‐derived vesicles, enriched in neutrophil granule proteins, LL‐37 and pro‐apoptotic miRNAs, suppress epithelial PI3K/Akt signalling, increase ROS, and induce mitochondrial dysfunction ...
