In Entamoeba histolytica, a BspA family protein is required for chemotaxis toward tumour necrosis factor

, 2015
Background: Entamoeba histolytica cell migration is essential for the development of human amoebiasis (an infectious disease characterized by tissue invasion and destruction). The tissue inflammation associated with tumour necrosis factor (TNF) secretion

Multiplex PCR to Diagnose Gastrointestinal Infections: Key Limitations in Interpretation

United European Gastroenterology Journal, Volume 14, Issue 7, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) panels are increasingly used for the evaluation of acute diarrhea, providing rapid and sensitive detection of a broad range of enteric pathogens. However, their widespread adoption has created important interpretive challenges for clinicians.

Gastrointestinal Parasites of Domestic Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) in Kathmandu, Nepal

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Gastrointestinal parasites in ducks raised on smallholder farms in Kathmandu, Nepal, are investigated using copromicroscopic examination. A diverse range of protozoa and helminth parasites are detected including the first records of Entamoeba spp., Cryptosporidium sp. and Tyzzeria sp. in ducks in Nepal.

Heterozygous loss‐of‐function alleles associate the conserved 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease EXOSC10 with hypersensitivity to the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 8, Page 1913-1932, August 2026.
EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.

Interplay Between Infectious Diseases and the Endocrine System: An Overview and Clinical Insights

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 4, July 2026.
Infectious diseases can disrupt endocrine homeostasis through direct cytopathic injury, autoimmune dysregulation, or pathogen‐derived hormone‐like effects. Viruses and bacteria are the most frequent agents, whereas fungi and parasites contribute less commonly, even remaining clinically relevant, especially in the immunocompromised population.
