Plant organelle C‐to‐U RNA editing factors can operate successfully in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as an easily amenable eukaryotic system for their functional analysis

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Plant‐type pentatricopeptide repeat proteins capable of C‐to‐U RNA editing perform faithfully when expressed in a new heterologous system, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They were tested with constitutive and inducible expression and with a set of different solubility tags. PPR56, PPR65, and PPR78 from P.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Evolution of H5N1 Cross‐Species Transmission: Adaptive Mutations Driving Avian‐to‐Human Infection

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2026.
This review synthesizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms underpinning H5N1's host adaptation, focusing on key mutations in viral proteins. Critical mutations are discussed in detail, highlighting their roles in altering receptor specificity, promoting antiviral resistance, and expanding viral tropism. The review underscores the urgent need

Chemoenzymatically Synthesized O‐Acetylated GD3 Gangliosides to Examine Viral Receptor Specificities in a Cellular Context

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
7‐O‐, 9‐O‐, and 7,9‐di‐O‐acetylated GD3 gangliosides can be prepared by chemical assembly of a tetrasaccharide as α‐glycosyl fluoride that is coupled to sphingosine using a glycosynthase, followed by O‐acetyl editing by coronaviral hemagglutinin‐esterases (HEs).

Sex Differences in Response to Viral Vector Vaccines—Implications for Future Vaccine Design

Immunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Vaccination represents one of the most impactful public health achievements, preventing 3.5 to 5 million deaths annually according to estimates of the World Health Organization. Yet, recent outbreaks of emerging and reemerging infectious diseases highlight the need for rapid and strategic vaccine development using vaccine platforms ...

Mineralo-organic particles inhibit influenza A virus infection by targeting viral hemagglutinin activity

Nanomedicine
Aim: Mineralo-organic particles, naturally present in human body fluids, participate in ectopic calcification and inflammatory diseases. These particles coexist with influenza A virus (IAV) in the same microenvironment during viral infection. Our objective was to investigate the functional consequences of the potential interactions between these ...

The dysregulation of innate immunity by Porphyromonas gingivalis in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 3, Page 328-348, March 2026.
Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains under active debate. In this perspective, we explore the hypothesis that a primarily infection‐caused chronic dysregulation and weakening of human innate immunity via the underexpression, degradation, and inactivation of innate immune proteins necessary for direct antimicrobial effects and ...

Role of the transmembrane domain in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 spike for palmitoylation and membrane fusion

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Palmitoylation is a reversible post‐translational modification that enhances protein hydrophobicity and regulates cellular functions such as trafficking and signaling. In humans, this modification is catalyzed by 23 DHHC enzymes, but the mechanisms by which they recognize their substrates remain unclear.
