Parkinson's‐Linked LRRK2 and GBA1 Mutations Modulate the Peripheral Immune Response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Peripheral disease mechanisms such as immune dysregulation may contribute to Parkinson's disease (PD). To investigate interactions between common PD mutations and immune responses to environmental pathogens, we studied responses to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV): A Comprehensive Overview From Basic Biology to Clinical Prevention and Control

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.

Interaction analysis of non‐bacterial respiratory pathogens during and after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in two cities along the eastern coast of China

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
What is Known • Co‐infections can influence pathogen replication, disease severity, and the duration of illness. • Co‐infection patterns and temporal correlations have been characterized among various respiratory viruses and atypical pathogens. What is New • A consistent negative correlation between influenza B and Mycoplasma pneumoniae suggests ...
