Saving Water to Survive: Alternative Water Loss Strategies Could Explain Color Polymorphism Maintenance in a Lacertid Lizard

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that red male Podarcis muralis exhibit higher evaporative water loss compared to other morphs, indicating a physiological strategy that prioritizes hydroregulation over fine thermoregulation. This suggests red morphs are adapted to cooler, wetter niches, while white and yellow morphs possess superior water conservation mechanisms to ...

Parasites at the Summit: Unexpected Geographic Distribution of the Blood Parasite Lineage Found in the Endangered Giant Lizard of Tenerife

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We combined microscopic screening and molecular phylogenetic analyses to characterize blood parasites infecting Gallotia intermedia from the coastal cliffs of Montaña de Guaza and to place these infections in a broader biogeographic context. We detected apicomplexan parasites of the genus Karyolysus infecting 53.6% of G.

Ocular and cutaneous infection due to Curvularia pseudobrachyspora in an immunosuppressed dog: Case report and in vitro antimycotic susceptibilities

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
A 3‐year‐old male Border Collie diagnosed with immune‐mediated dermatopathy, managed with tapering prednisolone and cyclosporine, developed rapidly progressive ocular signs and additional cutaneous lesions. Histopathology, mycological culture, polymerase chain reaction and sequencing confirmed intraocular and cutaneous infection due to Curvularia ...

The fight of innate immunity and abnormal cannabinoids against Candida infection

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Candida species represent the most clinically significant fungal pathogens in humans, with invasive candidiasis carrying a mortality of 30%–40% in critically ill patients despite modern antifungal therapy. The innate immune system – through the coordinated and specific activities of neutrophils, macrophages, NK cells, mast cells and eosinophils ...

Adding Intratumoral Antibody‐Photoabsorber Conjugate Improves Efficacy of Near‐Infrared Photoimmunotherapy (NIR‐PIT)

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Intravenous (IV) or intratumoral (IT) cetuximab distribution in A431 tumor (essence of Figure 2). ABSTRACT Near‐infrared photoimmunotherapy (NIR‐PIT) is a new type of cancer treatment that specifically kills target cells while sparing normal tissue. This treatment induces cancer cell death by activating a photoreactive dye with near‐infrared light in ...

Advances in Spatial Heterogeneity and Cellular Localization Specificity of Intratumoral Bacteria

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Spatial localization of intratumoral bacteria governs their functional roles in tumor progression, metastasis, and treatment responses, with guiding significance for clinical management, as reviewed across three spatial paradigms. ABSTRACT Bacteria in tumors are increasingly recognized to be a part of the tumor microenvironment and their biological ...

INHBB Promotes Colorectal Cancer Progression by Inducing CD8+ T Cell Exhaustion via the ACVR2B‐SMAD Signaling Axis

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
INHBB secreted by colorectal cancer cells activates ACVR2B‐SMAD signaling to induce CD8+ T‐cell exhaustion and drive tumor progression. SB431542 blocks this oncogenic immune‐suppressive axis. ABSTRACT To investigate the expression pattern, biological functions and regulatory mechanisms of inhibin beta B (INHBB) in colorectal cancer (CRC), and to ...
