Synovial Fluid‐derived Micrococcus Luteus G18 Exacerbates Osteoarthritis Progression by Promoting Chondrocyte Degradation via TLR2/JNK/AP‐1 Signaling Pathway

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, 30 January 2026.
Traditionally considered sterile, the articular cavity is now recognized to harbor microbial communities influencing osteoarthritis (OA). Integrating 16S rRNA sequencing and culturomics, Micrococcus luteus is enriched in advanced OA. Notably, M. luteus G18 exacerbates cartilage degeneration via TLR2/JNK/AP‐1‐mediated ECM disruption, revealing intra ...

Regulatory T Cells and Nanomaterials: Dual Perspectives in Therapeutics and Immunomodulation

open access: yesSmall Science, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2026.
Tregs control immune tolerance but can also enable tumor escape. Nanomaterials can now expand or stabilize Tregs to treat autoimmunity and support transplantation or conversely disrupt tumor Tregs to boost antitumor immunity. We also discuss unintended Treg modulation by nanoparticles, safety and manufacturing challenges, and future translational ...

BIOMOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF METHICILLIN-RESISTANT STRAINS OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS (MRSA) ISOLATED FROM MEAT AND MEAT PROCESSING ENVIRONMENTS

open access: yesItalian Journal of Food Safety, 2008
371 samples from meat and meat-environments were collected and examined for the detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The structural gene for penicillin-binding protein 2a (mecA gene), was amplified by PCR and detected by ...
