Punicalagin Enhances Autophagy Through Sirtuin 1/FoxO3a Axis to Inhibit Intracellular Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
Punicalagin, a pomegranate molecule, helps the body fight Mycobacterium abscessus. It preferentially boosts interstitial macrophages in the lung, stabilizing mitochondria and switching on the autophagy via SIRT1/FoxO3a, which lowers bacterial load without directly killing bacteria.

Immune activation and response dynamics of human iPSC‐derived macrophages in tuberculosis infection models

open access: yesClinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 1, 2026.
In this study, we analysed the immune responses of blood‐derived monocyte macrophages and iPSC‐derived macrophages following BCG/HKMT infection. We found that iPSC‐derived macrophages displayed a markedly stronger activation profile, including faster migration, increased reactive oxygen species production, elevated apoptosis marker expression and ...

Reduction of Charged Glycoconjugates in Tango2 KO Mouse Brain

open access: yesProteoglycan Research, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The transport and Golgi organization 2 (TANGO2) gene has been identified to cause a rare recessive genetic disorder known as TANGO2‐deficiency disorder (TDD). TDD is a multi‐systemic disorder that can affect different organs including the brain, heart, and muscles, presenting as recurrent metabolic crises, muscle weakness, and neurological ...

ESX/type VII secretion systems of mycobacteria: Insights into evolution, pathogenicity and protection

open access: yes, 2015
Pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis depends on the secretion of key virulence factors, such as the 6 kDa early secreted antigenic target ESAT-6 (EsxA) and its protein partner, the 10 kDa culture filtrate protein CFP-10 (EsxB), via the ESX-1 ...

Expression and production of soluble Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv mycosin-3

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2016
Mycobacteria encode five type VII secretion system (T7SS) or ESX for nutrient acquisition and virulence. Mycosins are membrane-anchored components of ESX with serine protease activity but an unidentified substrate range.

Genome Analysis of Staphylococcus aureus Isolated From the Feces of Diarrheal Patients in the Region of East China, 2019–2024

open access: yesInternational Journal of Food Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of foodborne diarrhea, primarily due to staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs). This study employed whole‐genome sequencing to characterize 106 S. aureus isolates from diarrheal patients in East China (2019–2024). We identified 23 sequence types, with ST398 (22.6%) and ST5 (7.5%) among the most prevalent.

Characterization of the ESX-1 (Snm) secretion system in mycobacteria

open access: yes, 2009
Tuberculosis is a common and deadly disease caused by the Gram-positive bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Due to the unique nature of the extracytoplasmic localization of proteins in mycobacteria, specialized secretion systems are essential. Recent studies have identified a novel secretion pathway termed the ESX-1 (or Snm) secretion system.

Untargeted and Targeted Liquid Chromatography‐Mass Spectrometry–Based Lipidomic Profiling Revealed a Potential Biomarker Panel to Distinguish Clinical Isolates of M. tuberculosis From Nontuberculous M. kansasii

open access: yesPulmonary Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections, particularly Mycobacterium kansasii (M. kansasii), and their overlapping clinical features with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) are leading to diagnostic ambiguity in tuberculosis‐endemic regions.

Rapid Molecular Diagnostics of Tuberculosis: What Do We Have, What Do We Need?

open access: yesPulmonary Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Smear microscopy and culture are conventional methods of tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics. Microscopy is fast and inexpensive but has low sensitivity, whereas culture is highly sensitive but may take several weeks. Molecular diagnostic (MDx) methods were widely introduced into TB diagnostics much later, in the early 2010s, when the GeneXpert system was ...
