In an angiotensin‐II‐induced pressure overload induced heart failure mouse model, expression of MG23 is increased. Knockout of Mg23 protected hearts against Angiotensin‐II ‐induced cardiac hypertrophy. Mg23‐KO mice also displayed a marked decrease in left ventricular fibrosis and had normal cardiac functioning compared to wild type animals.

Role of quorum sensing in UVA-induced biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a versatile bacterium present in terrestrial and aquatic environments and a relevant opportunistic human pathogen, is largely known for the production of robust biofilms.

Four novel taxa of cyanobacteria from a unique thermal cave habitat in Vromoner Canyon, Albania
Abstract Thermal and cave habitats on nearly all continents have been a substantial source of new cyanobacterial genotypes and morphotypes that expanded with the dawn of the era of molecular phylogenetics. In this study, we investigated the cyanobacterial flora of an extreme habitat of recently discovered caves with sulfur‐rich thermal springs, using ...

Abstract Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actimycetemcomitans (Aa) is a gram‐negative bacterium that colonizes the human oral cavity and is causative agent for localized aggressive (juvenile) periodontitis (AgP). In the middle of 1990s, a specific JP2 clone of belonging to the cluster of serotype b strains of Aa with highly leukotoxicity (leukotoxin ...

Convergent evolution of cytochrome P450s underlies independent origins of keto-carotenoid pigmentation in animals [PDF]
Keto-carotenoids contribute to many important traits in animals, including vision and coloration. In a great number of animal species, keto-carotenoids are endogenously produced from carotenoids by carotenoid ketolases.

Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Autoimmunity Due to Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Its Resolution With Antibiotic Therapy [PDF]
Background:Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) is a Gram-negative coccobacillus recognized as a pathogen in periodontitis and infective endocarditis. By producing a toxin (leukotoxin A, LtxA) that triggers global hypercitrullination in neutrophils,

New frontiers on adjuvants drug strategies and treatments in periodontitis [PDF]
Causes of the progression of periodontitis such as an imbalance between the immune response by the host by the release of inflammatory mediators in the response of the oral pathogenic dysbiotic biofilm have been identified.

SummaryIt was postulated that the highly virulent JP2 genotype of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans may possess a constellation of distinct virulence determinants not found in non‐JP2 genotypes. This study compared the genome content and the transcriptome of the serotype b JP2 genotype and the closely related serotype b non‐JP2 genotype of A ...

Periodontal pathogens and cancer development
Abstract Increasing evidence suggests a significant association between periodontal disease and the occurrence of various cancers. The carcinogenic potential of several periodontal pathogens has been substantiated in vitro and in vivo. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the diverse mechanisms employed by different periodontal pathogens in
