ABSTRACT Introduction This final analysis of a multicenter, prospective postmarketing surveillance study evaluated the safety of daprodustat in patients with chronic kidney disease anemia in routine clinical practice in Japan. Methods Patients who initiated daprodustat between September 2020 and July 2022 were registered.

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Infectious disease emergencies: role of the infectious disease specialist [PDF]
The importance of infections for public health has become obvious during the last decades. Examples are emerging infections such as HIV/AIDS and severe acute respiratory syndrome, deliberate release of microorganisms, such as the anthrax episode in the USA, the increasing problems with organisms resistant to antimicrobial treatment, such as methicillin-

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

1996年夏に多発した腸管出血性大腸菌O157感染症は医学的,細菌学的のみならず社会的な問題ともなった.本年になっても多くの集団例,散発例が報告され,けっして我々のまわりからO157の危険が去ったわけではない. O157感染症の大きな問題点はその病態が単なる食中毒のような腸管感染症にとどまらず, HUSや脳症のような重篤な合併症を併発し全身性感染症的要素を有すること,また合併症に対する有効な治療法が確立していないことである.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

レジオネラは土壌細菌で世界中に分布しているが,近代の文化的生活における人工環境の至る所で増殖し,近年新たな展開を見せている.特に,人工環境水においては共存するアメーバを媒体として大量に増殖し,ありとあらゆる環境水からレジオネラ感染の危険性が高まっている.人工環境水の消毒の問題は人体への影響を考慮する必要があり,困難をきわめている状態である.わが国にはビル管理基準としての冷却塔におけるレジオネラ症防止指針が作成されているが,米国のCDCのような院内感染防止指針やその他の環境水に対する水の管理基準の策定はこれからである.診断法はPCR法や尿中抗原検出などかなりの進歩が見られているので,疑わしい症例では積極的にしかるべき施設へ依頼してでも確定診断を得る努力をする必要がある.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

An isoform of 14‐3‐3 protein regulates transbilayer lipid movement at the plasma membrane
Loss of 14‐3‐3ζ in CHO cells confers resistance to exogenous phosphatidylserine (PS) and impairs endocytosis‐independent inward flip‐flop of fluorescent PS at the plasma membrane. RNAi‐mediated knockdown reproduces this defect, while no additive effect is seen in ATP11C‐deficient cells.
