Hitting the Sweet Spot: Glycans as Targets of Fungal Defense Effector Proteins
Molecules, 2015 Organisms which rely solely on innate defense systems must combat a large number of antagonists with a comparatively low number of defense effector molecules.

Mouse neutrophils lack defensins [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1992 Defensins are broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides that are abundant in human, rat, and rabbit neutrophils. We now report that neutrophils from nine strains of mice lacked appreciable defensin content. Mice may therefore be imperfect experimental surrogates for humans or rats in models of infection in which neutrophil function is significant.

SDPR–STK38 axis controls the proliferation–differentiation balance in alveolar type II cells
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.The present study identifies SDPR as a pivotal regulator orchestrating the balance between proliferation and differentiation in alveolar type II (AT2) cells. In SDPR+/+ cells, SDPR binds to and inhibits STK38 activity, thereby sustaining GSK‐3β signaling functionality to promote cyclin D1 degradation and maintain cell cycle homeostasis.

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

Subversion of host innate immunity by uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2016 Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) cause the majority of community-onset urinary tract infections (UTI) and represent a major etiologic agent of healthcare-associated UTI.
