Extensive transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from 9 year old child with pulmonary tuberculosis and negative sputum smear [PDF]
Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and either a positive sputum smear or cavitating pulmonary lesions have been considered to be infectious1 as these indicate higher bacterial load accumulating with longer duration of infection. The source of infection

Media composition influences yeast one- and two-hybrid results
Although yeast two-hybrid experiments are commonly used to identify protein interactions, the frequent occurrence of false negatives and false positives hampers data interpretation.

The necessity and appropriate range of the diagnostic “gray zone” of 13C-urea breath test
Background: The 13C-urea breath test (13C-UBT) is preferred for non-invasive detection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori); however, its accuracy drops when results fall between 2‰ and 6‰ (called the gray zone).

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Microbial keratitis—the false negative [PDF]
The investigation of presumed microbial keratitis includes microscopy and culture of corneal specimens obtained by scraping the infiltrated cornea. Routine microscopy fails to identify the infecting organism in about 15% of cases. We discuss the problems presented by 20 such eyes which required further investigation.

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

False memory ≠ false memory: DRM errors are unrelated to the misinformation effect [PDF]
The DRM method has proved to be a popular and powerful, if controversial, way to study 'false memories'. One reason for the controversy is that the extent to which the DRM effect generalises to other kinds of memory error has been neither satisfactorily ...
