Beyond the Barrier: Epithelial Cells as Immune Sentinels in the Female Genital Tract

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 95, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Epithelial cells (ECs) of the female genital tract (FGT) serve as an essential barrier and the first line of defense against sexually transmitted pathogens. Beyond providing a physical barrier, these cells actively contribute to immune responses through pathogen recognition, cytokine release, and modulation of adaptive immune responses ...

B Cell Subsets and Atherosclerosis: Updates and Emerging Concepts

Immunological Reviews, Volume 339, Issue 1, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increasingly recognized not just as a lipid‐driven disease, but as a complex interplay between vascular cells and the immune system. Accumulating evidence highlights a central, yet heterogeneous role for B cells in atherogenesis, with distinct subsets displaying opposing roles.

Human milk oligosaccharides and Bifidobacterium species

Trends in Microbiology
Several bacterial species initially colonise the infant gut, but are outcompeted. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in breast milk create an environment for Bifidobacterium to flourish. Laursen and Roager recently showed a clear link between breast milk and the dominance of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis in the infant gut.

Safety evaluation of an extension of use of the food enzyme α‐amylase from the genetically modified Bacillus licheniformis strain NZYM‐BC

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The food enzyme α‐amylase (4‐α‐d‐glucan glucanhydrolase; EC 3.2.1.1.) is produced with the genetically modified Bacillus licheniformis strain NZYM‐BC by Novozymes A/S. The safety of this food enzyme was evaluated previously and it did not give rise to safety concerns when used in six food manufacturing processes.

Characterization of the Human Blood Group Glycosyltransferases GTA and GTB for the Synthesis of Blood Group Antigens

Advanced Synthesis &Catalysis, Volume 368, Issue 8, 15 April 2026.
This study presents the highly efficient heterologous production of the human blood group glycosyltransferases GTA/R176A and GTB, along with their comprehensive biochemical and kinetic characterization. Tailored enzyme cascades, involving the bacterial fucosyltransferase FutC and GTA or GTB, generate milligram quantities of various blood group ABH ...
