A Practical Approach in Differentiating IBD From Other Causes of Enterocolitis

JGH Open, Volume 9, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is emerging in Asia, but there are many challenges in making the diagnosis. There is no gold standard for the diagnosis of IBD, which is often made based on a combination of clinical, endoscopic, radiological, and histological features, none of which are specific for the condition.

A case of amebic colitis: A potentially fatal mimicker of inflammatory bowel disease

JPGN Reports, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 420-422, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Amebiasis, caused by Entamoeba histolytica, can present diagnostic challenges due to its diverse clinical manifestations and potential for misdiagnosis, particularly in regions with low incidence rates. We report a case of a 9‐year‐old girl initially diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease but later confirmed to have amebic colitis.

Nuclear Factor Y (NF-Y) Modulates Encystation in Entamoeba via Stage-Specific Expression of the NF-YB and NF-YC Subunits

mBio, 2019
The human parasite Entamoeba histolytica is an important pathogen with significant global impact and is a leading cause of parasitic death in humans. Since only the cyst form can be transmitted, blocking encystation would prevent new infections, making ...

Key Regulators of Parasite Biology Viewed Through a Post‐Translational Modification Repertoire

PROTEOMICS, Volume 25, Issue 21-22, Page 253-276, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Parasites are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in both humans and animals, imposing substantial socioeconomic burdens worldwide. Controlling parasitic diseases has become one of the key issues in achieving “One Health”. Most parasites have sophisticated life cycles exhibiting progressive developmental stages, morphologies, and ...

The Microbial Trojan Horse and Antimicrobial Resistance: Acanthamoeba as an Environmental Reservoir for Multidrug Resistant Bacteria

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2025.
Bacteria associated with Acanthamoeba exhibit greater antibiotic resistance than those from sediment and, on average, show a higher likelihood of multi‐antibiotic tolerance, reflected in significantly elevated multiple‐antibiotic resistance (MAR) index values.

CD8+ T cells against extracellular pathogens: more than just a cytotoxic cell

Immunology &Cell Biology, Volume 103, Issue 10, Page 957-965, November-December 2025.
CD8+ T cells can induce immunopathology or disease tolerance and resistance in infections caused by extracellular pathogens. The secretion of IFNγ by CD8+ T cells can collaborate with IL‐17 for the elimination of extracellular pathogens. In addition, CD8+ T cells can restrict immunopathology through the elimination of APCs.
