Host Factor Induced Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles Promote Horizontal Gene Transfer in Vibrio cholerae

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
Antimicrobial stressors, that is, bile or mitomycin C, induce enlarged, nucleic acid‐rich bacterial extracellular vesicles in Vibrio cholerae that facilitate horizontal gene transfer in vitro and during intestinal colonisation. The findings provide a detailed comparison of control versus stress‐induced vesicles, identify bile as a host factor shaping ...

Diarrheagenic and Uropathogenic Escherichia coli: Biofilm Production and Virulence Factors in Clinical Isolates From Argentina

Advanced Gut & Microbiome Research
Biofilm formation by Escherichia coli contributes to the persistence of infections. In order to deepen the knowledge about the pathogenesis of E. coli infections, the objective was to assess the biofilm production and the expression of virulence factors ...

ConforFold recovers alternative protein conformations beyond MSA subsampling

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Conformational changes underlie many aspects of protein function, yet current structure prediction tools remain limited in their ability to systematically sample structural ensembles. Here, we present ConforPSSP and ConforFold, a combined framework that integrates secondary‐structure sampling into a deep learning‐based prediction to recover ...

SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants and Immune Evasion: Mapping the Future of Vaccine Design

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The evolutionary trajectory of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) has progressed through several distinct phases since its zoonotic emergence, transitioning from initial human adaptation to an era of rapid antigenic drift and complex immune evasion. As of early 2026, the global landscape is dominated by highly evolved

Gap Analysis of Metabolic Conversions of Off‐Flavors and Antinutrients in Plant‐Based Substrates

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT To drastically reduce the carbon footprint of the food production chain, a major shift towards alternatives to conventional meat and dairy products is required. The use of plant‐based proteins is a promising route, but it also comes with challenges: Plant‐based proteins often contain antinutritional factors and off‐flavors, which can ...

Separated hemocyte populations from the ascidian Ciona intestinalis contain and release in vitro opsonizing Ca2+-independent and β-galactoside specific lectins

Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2007
Cytosolic lectins, Ca2+-independent and β-galactoside-specific, were determined to be contained in hemocyte and pharynx lysate supernatants of Ciona intestinalis, as revealed by hemagglutination assay with trypsinized rabbit erythrocytes.
