Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Hepatitis B virus and Hepatocarcinogenesis
Annals of Hepatology, 2008 Hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection is the commonest cause of hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV DNA is the most important predictor of hepatocarcinogenesis in HB surface antigen positive patients. We reviewed the mechanism of hepatocarcinogenesis on molecular level with a special emphasis on the role of X-protein. Hepatitis B X-protein communicates with host

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.
