Oral Celastrol Nanomedicine Targeting Intestinal Antigen‐Presenting Cells to Effectively Mitigate Autoimmune Uveitis via Gut‐Retina Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Oral nanoCEL exhibits effective intestinal targeting of antigen‐presenting cells and restores the Th17/Treg balance in lymph nodes and spleen, ultimately protecting the blood‐retinal barrier by inhibiting peripheral immune cell infiltration and suppressing retinal glial cell activation.

Identification and structural characterisation of a partially arabinosylated lipoarabinomannan variant isolated from a Corynebacterium glutamicum ubiAmutant [PDF]

, 2007
Arabinan polysaccharide side-chains are present in both Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Corynebacterium glutamicum in the heteropolysaccharide arabinogalactan (AG), and in M. tuberculosis in the lipoglycan, lipoarabinomannan (LAM).

Identification of Mannose‐Capped‐Arabinomannan 101‐mer as a Potential Influenza Virus Vaccine Adjuvant

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Well‐defined and synthetic mannose‐capped arabinomannan 101‐mer from Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell wall was identified as a potent influenza vaccine adjuvant, boosting the antibody response, realizing full protection and showing excellent safety. ABSTRACT Many natural bacterial components as adjuvants can activate the host immune system, but the ...

Cell envelope polysaccharide modifications alter the surface properties and interactions of Mycobacterium abscessus with innate immune cells in a morphotype-dependent manner

mBio
Mycobacterium abscessus is one of the leading causes of pulmonary infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria. The ability of M. abscessus to establish a chronic infection in the lung relies on a series of adaptive mutations impacting, in part ...

Implementation of liquid culture for tuberculosis diagnosis in a remote setting: lessons learned. [PDF]

, 2011
Although sputum smear microscopy is the primary method for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis in low-resource settings, it has low sensitivity. The World Health Organization recommends the use of liquid culture techniques for TB diagnosis and drug ...

Fertility intentions and use of contraception among monogamous couples in northern Malawi in the context of HIV testing: a cross-sectional analysis. [PDF]

, 2012
CONTEXT: Knowledge of HIV status may influence fertility desires of married men and women. There is little knowledge about the importance of this influence among monogamously married couples and how knowledge of HIV status influences use of contraception

A Photothermal Transducer Regulates Transmembrane Calcium Flow for Synergistic Osteoarthritis Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Upon NIR irradiation at 808 nm, the activity of TRPV4 was inhibited by M2M@BPSC, which led to reduced calcium influx, mitochondrial protection, and, importantly, the transcriptional activation of the STAT6‐EGR2 pathway. The improved macrophage function indirectly readjusts the equilibrium between C‐ECM and F‐ECM to reconstruct a suitable ...

Giardia's Epithelial Cell Interaction In Vitro: Mimicking Asymptomatic Infection?

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
The protozoan parasite Giardia duodenalis is responsible for more than 280 million cases of gastrointestinal complaints (“giardiasis”) every year, worldwide. Infections are acquired orally, mostly via uptake of cysts in contaminated drinking water. After

Astrocytic TIA1‐Mediated Stress Granules Promote the Demyelination of Optic Neuritis by Sequestering mRNA of Cholesterol Synthesis Genes in an Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Astrocytic TIA1‐mediated stress granules (SGs) promote demyelination by sequestering the mRNA of cholesterol synthesis genes. In this model, astrocytic TIA1‐mediated SGs were increased in the optic nerves of EAE mice, leading to the downregulation of cholesterol synthesis genes such as HMGCS1 through sequestration of their mRNA into SGs, which ...
