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.

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
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 ...

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
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.

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
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.

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?
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 ...
