The role of human microbiota in breast cancer pathogenesis and treatment

iMeta, EarlyView.
The human microbiota contributes to breast cancer pathogenesis and treatment response through interactions involving the oral, gut, and breast microbial niches. (Left) Multi‐site dysbiosis is characterized by altered microbial composition and abundance across different anatomical sites.

In the Shadow of Hemagglutinin: A Growing Interest in Influenza Viral Neuraminidase and Its Role as a Vaccine Antigen [PDF]

Viruses, 2014
Despite the availability of vaccine prophylaxis and antiviral therapeutics, the influenza virus continues to have a significant, annual impact on the morbidity and mortality of human beings, highlighting the continued need for research in the field. Current vaccine strategies predominantly focus on raising a humoral response against hemagglutinin (HA)—

Covalently Immobilized Lignin–Xanthene Conjugates for Persistent Surface Photochemistry and Self‐Sterilizing Interfaces Under Ambient Visible Light

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Bio‐derived lignin–Eosin Y macromolecular networks are developed as visible‐light‐responsive self‐sterilizing coatings that generate reactive oxygen species without leaching. The spray‐coated photopolymerized surfaces exhibit durable antibacterial and antiviral activity under ambient light for extended periods, demonstrating a scalable and sustainable ...

Ion Activation Methods for Top‐Down Proteomics

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a premier method used to characterize the sequences of proteins. Top‐down proteomics aims to capture the multiple sources of structural diversity reflected in proteins, such as those that arise from alternative RNA splicing events or the addition of post‐translational modifications. Tandem MS (i.e., MS/MS)

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Toward Predicting Pandemic Potential: A Comparative Analysis of Virus‐Host Interactions Between Diverse Influenza A Viruses and the Human Innate Immune System

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Zoonotic infections caused by influenza A viruses (IAVs) of animal origin are a major public health concern, as they may represent the initial step toward the emergence of a pandemic strain. The host range of IAVs is shaped by species‐specific virus‐host interactions, and several host barriers have been identified that restrict the adaptation ...

Active pH Modulation by Proton Channel‐Peptide Nucleic Acid Complex for Effective siRNA Endosomal Escape

Small, EarlyView.
A bioinspired siRNA nanocarrier is engineered by integrating an influenza A M2 proton channel with siRNA through a peptide nucleic acid linker on liposome surfaces. Active proton transport amplifies osmotic stress within endosomes, triggering membrane rupture and cytosolic release.

Inhibition of Influenza A Virus (H1N1) Fusion by Benzenesulfonamide Derivatives Targeting Viral Hemagglutinin

PLoS ONE, 2011
Hemagglutinin (HA) of the influenza virus plays a crucial role in the early stage of the viral life cycle by binding to sialic acid on the surface of host epithelial cells and mediating fusion between virus envelope and endosome membrane for the release of viral genomes into the cytoplasm.
