Human Pegivirus Encephalitis With Brain Detection and Response to Sofosbuvir Ledipasvir

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human pegivirus (HPgV‐1) has been associated with severe encephalomyelitis in immunocompromised patients. Its neurological spectrum remains poorly defined. We report a slowly progressive encephalitis in a person living with well‐controlled HIV, characterized by white matter abnormalities and inflammatory cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). HPgV RNA was

Comparative Secretome Analyses of Trichoderma/Arabidopsis Co-cultures Identify Proteins for Salt Stress, Plant Growth Promotion, and Root Colonization

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Numerous Trichoderma strains are beneficial for plants, promote their growth, and confer stress tolerance. A recently described novel Trichoderma strain strongly promotes the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings on media with 50 mM NaCl, while 150 mM

Enhanced Antifungal Activity of Engineered Proteins via Swapping between Thioredoxin H2 and H3

Applied Sciences, 2019
Thioredoxins (Trxs) are proteins that act as antioxidants by facilitating the reduction of other proteins and are highly conserved in all organisms. Plant H-type Trx isoforms have different structures and perform multiple functions. Previous studies have

Fungal effector proteins: past, present and future [PDF]

Molecular Plant Pathology, 2009
SUMMARY The pioneering research of Harold Flor on flax and the flax rust fungus culminated in his gene‐for‐gene hypothesis. It took nearly 50 years before the first fungal avirulence ( Avr ) gene in support of his hypothesis was cloned.

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

Use of the Fluorescent Dye Thioflavin T to Track Amyloid Structures in the Pathogenic Yeast Candida albicans

Bio-Protocol
The human pathogenic yeast Candida albicans can attach to epithelial cells or indwelling medical devices to form biofilms. These microbial communities are highly problematic in the clinic as they reduce both sensitivity to antifungal drugs and detection ...

Optimization of a protein extraction technique for fungal proteomics [PDF]

Indian Journal of Microbiology, 2010
Protein extraction is a critical step in any proteomics study. Since most fungi possess a robust cell wall, efficient isolation of total proteins has become challenge to fungal proteomics. To circumvent this bottleneck of fungal proteomics, we standardized a protocol named as Mg/CHAPS extraction by comparing with an established method of protein ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Identifying Potential Molecular Targets in Fungi Based on (Dis)Similarities in Binding Site Architecture with Proteins of the Human Pharmacolome

Molecules, 2023
Invasive fungal infections represent a public health problem that worsens over the years with the increasing resistance to current antimycotic agents.

Fungome: Annotating proteins implicated in fungal pathogenesis [PDF]

Bioinformation, 2010
Sequencing genomes of different pathogenic fungi produced plethora of genetic information. This "omics" data might be of great interest to probe strain diversity, identify virulence factors and complementary genes in other fungal species, and importantly in predicting the role of proteins specific to pathogenesis in humans.
