Nematode antimicrobial peptides

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2012
There is currently insufficient data to determine the full spectrum of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that nematodes produce. Defensins, nemapores, cecropins, and caenacins/neuropeptide-like proteins have been identified, but none of these is produced ...

Keratinocyte Priming by Staphylococcus aureus Reduces HSV‐1 Susceptibility

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 2843-2857, August 2026.
ADEH+ patients have a reduced microbial diversity with increased S. aureus and S. epidermidis colonization compared to ADEH− and healthy controls. Heat‐killed S. aureus reduced HSV‐1 susceptibility and release of infectious progeny virus in a keratinocyte in vitro model. Heat‐killed S.

Role of human RNase 7 in neuronal and glial cell models: moving towards an unexpected new functional link

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 15, Page 4660-4679, August 2026.
Human RNase 7 is known to exert antimicrobial activity in epithelial tissues. Here, using SH‐SY5Y and U‐87 MG, neuroblastoma and glioblastoma cell lines, respectively, we found that RNase 7 enhances immune responses to LPS stimulation by reducing the expression of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide, and ROS.

A review of skin microbiome and new challenges to cosmetic microbiome‐friendly formulations

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 780-797, August 2026.
Microbiome‐friendly concepts offer new perspectives for a healthy relationship between cosmetic use and the skin microbiome, especially the interaction of non‐biotic cosmetic ingredients with the skin, requiring further studies to clarify the dynamics between the skin microbiome and different classes of cosmetic ingredients.

Decoding MAPK cascades in plant immunity: Activation, regulation, integration, and pathogen manipulation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 3000-3024, August 2026.
This review focuses on mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation and summarizes how plants regulate and integrate MAPK signaling in modulating plant immune responses. It also examines the effectors pathogens have evolved to manipulate MAPK activation and thereby inhibit plant immunity.

Unfolding Plant Defence: Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Signalling at the Plant‐Pathogen Interface

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4799-4822, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, a conserved proteostasis network, has emerged as a central hub that reprograms plant immunity during pathogen attack. This review synthesises how plants harness ER‐stress signalling to mount multilayered defences and how pathogens have evolved counterstrategies to subvert these pathways.
