Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.

Peptide‐based antibacterial nanoplatforms: Design principles, stimuli‐regulated behaviors, and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Peptide‐based antibacterial nanoplatforms, encompassing self‐assembled peptides and peptide‐engineered inorganic, polymeric, and lipid nanocarriers, are systematically reviewed. The article highlights design principles and stimuli‐responsive regulation for improving peptide stability, delivery efficiency, and antibacterial performance.

Oral microbiome and homeostatic regulation of periodontal health: From dysbiosis to precision intervention

VIEW, EarlyView.
Periodontal homeostasis is maintained by coordinated interactions between the oral microbiome and host. Dysbiosis disrupts this ecological balance and contributes to periodontal disease, whereas multi‐omics, artificial intelligence, and microbiome‐based interventions provide emerging opportunities for precision diagnosis, ecological restoration, and ...

Characterization of an endogenous gene expressed in Aedes aegypti using an orally infectious recombinant sindbis virus

Journal of Insect Science, 2001
Sindbis virus expression vectors have been used successfully to express and silence genes of interest in vivo in several mosquito species, including Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Ae. triseriatus, Culex pipiens, Armigeres subalbatus and Anopheles gambiae.

Bacterial feeding, Leishmania infection and distinct infection routes induce differential defensin expression in Lutzomyia longipalpis

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
Background Phlebotomine insects harbor bacterial, viral and parasitic pathogens that can cause diseases of public health importance. Lutzomyia longipalpis is the main vector of visceral leishmaniasis in the New World.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Research Note: Intestinal avian defensin 2 and robustness of chicks

Poultry Science
: Poultry production is an important agricultural sector for human food worldwide. Chicks after hatch often face health problems leading to economic losses that are deleterious for breeders. Avian defensin 2 (AvBD2) is a prominent host defense peptide of

Defensins in periodontal health

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2015
Defensins are abundant and widely distributed peptides in human and animal tissues that are involved in host defence. Defensins not only have the ability to strengthen the innate immune system but can also enhance the adaptive immune system by chemotaxis of monocytes, T-lymphocytes, dendritic cells and mast cells to the infection site.

The Effects of Noise on the Juvenile Life Stage of Crustaceans: Behavioral, Cellular, and Molecular Responses in Procambarus clarkii

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Juvenile Procambarus clarkii exposed to noise exhibited behavioral changes, shifts in enzymatic activity, and altered expression of stress and immune genes. The findings highlight the sensitivity of invertebrate juveniles to anthropogenic acoustic pollution.
