N-acetylglucosamine supplementation fails to bypass the critical acetylation of glucosamine-6-phosphate required for Toxoplasma gondii replication and invasion.

PLoS Pathogens
The cell surface of Toxoplasma gondii is rich in glycoconjugates which hold diverse and vital functions in the lytic cycle of this obligate intracellular parasite.

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Unravelling the biochemical aspects of the interaction between ticks and Leishmania using a tick cell line

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Leishmania infantum propagated in IDE8 tick cell line in vitro. L. infantum reduces tick cell viability and induces reactive oxygen species production. Lipidic profile of IDE8 tick cell line is altered during Leishmania infection. Abstract Leishmaniasis comprises a group of vector‐borne neglected tropical diseases caused by species of the obligatory ...

Alternaria alternata Effector Aa593 Promotes Virulence by Hijacking the CmNAC29‐Mediated Abscisic Acid Biosynthesis Pathway in Chrysanthemum

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The interaction between plants and pathogens has long been an actively researched field of plant immunity. In this study, we found an Aa593/CmNAC29‐CmNCED3 module associated with the interaction between chrysanthemum and the fungal pathogen Alternaria alternata.

TaRIP2 Positively Regulates Wheat Pollen Wall Formation Through MYB80‐Controlled Lipid Metabolism

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male‐sterile genes and mutants are critical for hybrid seed production in monocotyledonous crops. Lipids are essential structural components of male reproductive organs, such as the anther and pollen. Here, we show that the pollen‐preferential gene TaRIP2 is essential for wheat anther development and pollen formation. RT‐qPCR analysis revealed

A Highly Conserved SNARE‐Associated Protein Enhances Plant Immunity by Regulating Vesicle Trafficking

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The plant endomembrane system and vesicle trafficking are central to plant immunity, mediating the targeted delivery and recycling of defence molecules during pathogen attack. Here, we investigated the functional role of soybean Vacuole Membrane Protein 1 (GmVMP1) in mediating resistance against soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines).

Enviromimetics: From exercise mimetics to cognitomimetics in the quest for enhanced brain health and cognition

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A schematic diagram outlining the concept of enviromimetics, and the subclasses of exercise mimetics, epimimetics and cognitomimetics. The rationale is that environmental stimulation and lifestyle factors, including physical activity and cognitive stimulation, have shown beneficial effects across a range of human conditions ...

Doppel as an early‐stage biomarker promoting EMT and dissemination in ovarian cancers

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 6, Page 1755-1768, 15 March 2026.
What's new? Existing biomarkers for ovarian cancer (OC) lack the sensitivity and specificity needed to consistently distinguish the malignancy from non‐ovarian influences and other cancers. Here, the authors explored the ability of the prion‐like protein Doppel, normally found in the male testes, to detect OC.
