The emerging role of neutrophil extracellular traps in autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2025.
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) released by neutrophils in response to pathogens exhibit dual anti‐inflammatory and proinflammatory effects.

Queuosine tRNA Modification: Connecting the Microbiome to the Translatome

BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 2, February 2025.
tRNA queuosine modifications in mammalian cells are dependent on queuine produced by gut microbiome or from the diet. This gut‐tRNA axis provides an interesting link between gut health and tissue translatome and proteome regulation. Queuosine is essential for neurotransmitter synthesis, neuronal function, and is linked to neurodegenerative diseases as ...
