Epstein–Barr Virus, Lower Vitamin D, Low Sun Exposure, and HLA‐DRB1*1501 Risk Variant Share Common Epigenetic Pathways Leading to Multiple Sclerosis Onset

Annals of Neurology, Volume 99, Issue 2, Page 341-355, February 2026.
[Color figure can be viewed at www.annalsofneurology.org] Objectives Multiple sclerosis (MS) onset risk factors include Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) indices (including host response), lower serum 25‐vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels, low sun exposure, and HLA‐DRB1*1501. The underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear.

Modulation of succinyl‐CoA:3‐ketoacid CoA transferase activity by a single amino acid residue in acetate:succinate CoA transferase from Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Trypanosomatids are protozoan parasites that remain a global health challenge due to the limited efficacy, safety, and durability of current treatments. Acetate: succinate CoA transferase (ASCT), together with succinyl‐CoA synthase (SCS), forms the ASCT/SCS cycle that fuels ATP production and generates acetate, a central metabolic intermediate

Leishmania sp. isolated from human cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil characterized as Leishmaniamajor-like

Acta Tropica, 2009
The identification and characterization of Leishmania are relevant to diagnosis, treatment, eco-epidemiology studies, prophylactic measures and control of the disease. Two strains of Leishmania (MHOM/BR/1971/BH49 and MHOM/BR/1971/BH121), isolated from human cutaneous leishmaniasis, were studied using biological and molecular characteristics, in ...

Challenge Specific Modulation of Responses to Adjuvant‐Induced Innate Immune Memory

Immunology, Volume 177, Issue 2, Page 254-269, February 2026.
We utilised a commercially available adjuvant formulation to study the induction, maintenance, and consequences of innate immune memory. Using functional assays on bone marrow‐derived innate cells, extensive transcriptomic analysis of haematopoietic progenitors, and challenge models of spirochetal infection, nonspecific inflammation, and model antigen ...
