Aspartyl proteases target host actin nucleator complex protein to limit epithelial innate immunity

EMBO Reports
Epithelial-immune cell communication is pivotal to control microbial infections. We show that glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked aspartyl proteases (Yapsins) of the human opportunistic pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata (Cg) thwart epithelial cell (EC ...

Identification of some human pathogenic fungi using four DNA extraction methods

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2017
Dermatophytes being animal and human pathogenic fungi infect some human at one point or the other in their lifetime. For effective control of dermatophytes, accurate identification of the specific species/strain involved must be known.

Dissecting the Ecological Structure of Health and Disease in the Global Gut Microbiome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce Wiredancer, a framework that identifies three continuous ecological factors of the gut microbiota. These factors exhibit distinct patterns across health and disease, jointly capturing disrupted ecological stability and offering a new perspective for precision diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.

Gut Microbiota, Immunity, and Metabolism in the Progression From Chronic Liver Disease to Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explains how chronic liver injury progresses toward hepatocellular carcinoma through interconnected changes in gut microbes, metabolism, immunity, fibrosis, and diet. It highlights microbial metabolites, bile‐acid signaling, immune dysfunction, and nutritional or microbiome‐based interventions as opportunities to identify risk earlier ...
