Epidemiology and Outcomes of Cryptococcal Infections in Liver Transplant Recipients: A Retrospective Cohort Study at a US Academic Center

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Among 346 liver transplant recipients, rural residence conferred a 3.3‐fold higher risk of cryptococcal infection — a novel finding suggesting environmental exposure or healthcare access barriers may drive susceptibility. Triple immunosuppression and longer waitlist duration were additional risk factors, with very early infection carrying the worst ...

Therapeutic Remodeling of the Gut Microbiome as a Strategy to Restore Immune Tolerance in Autoimmunity

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
This graphical abstract illustrates how altered gut microbiota lead to autoimmunity. It shows that gut dysbiosis causes a “leaky gut” and activates autoreactive intestinal immune cells, which then migrate to other organs, ultimately triggering systemic autoimmune responses.
