Neonatal and infant immunity for tuberculosis vaccine development: importance of age-matched animal models

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2020
Neonatal and infant immunity differs from that of adults in both the innate and adaptive arms, which are critical contributors to immune-mediated clearance of infection and memory responses elicited during vaccination.

Punicalagin Enhances Autophagy Through Sirtuin 1/FoxO3a Axis to Inhibit Intracellular Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Punicalagin, a pomegranate molecule, helps the body fight Mycobacterium abscessus. It preferentially boosts interstitial macrophages in the lung, stabilizing mitochondria and switching on the autophagy via SIRT1/FoxO3a, which lowers bacterial load without directly killing bacteria.

Intelligent Theranostic Systems Enabled by Aggregation‐Induced Emission in Precision Medicine

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) luminogens are driving a new generation of intelligent theranostic systems that integrate high‐fidelity imaging and multifunctional therapy. This review highlights how AIEgens, through restriction of intramolecular motion (RIM), enable deep‐tissue NIR‐II imaging, ultrasensitive biosensing, CRISPR‐assisted gene ...

The DosR regulon of Mycobacterium avium and adaptation to hypoxia

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Like other tuberculous and nontuberculous mycobacterial pathogens of human lung such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M. abscessus, M. avium is likely exposed to a variety of stressors during infection, including hypoxic conditions inside activated ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Silica Nanoparticles as Multifunctional Platforms for Vaccine Delivery and Immune Modulation in Infectious Diseases

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Overview of the use of silica nanoparticles in vaccines against pathogens. Different kinds of vaccines against infectious diseases are currently using solid or mesoporous silica nanoparticles in their formulation. Silica microparticles and nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been studied as vehicles for vaccines.

Repurposing—a ray of hope in tackling extensively drug resistance in tuberculosis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2015
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a serious concern more than two decades on from when the World Health Organization declared it a global health emergency. The alarming rise of antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the etiological agent of TB, has

Mycobacteria and allergies

open access: yesImmunobiology, 2007
Exposure to mycobacteria was inevitable throughout mammalian evolution. Most mycobacteria are saprophytic environmental organisms that are enormously abundant in soil and untreated water and evoke immune responses in the residents of developing countries. A few species are pathogens.

Noncoding RNAs in Host–Microbiota Interaction

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The intricate interplay between gut microbiota and the host exerts a profound impact on host biological processes and disease development. This review highlights the pivotal role of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) in this interaction. Host ncRNAs regulate gene expression and microbiota composition, whereas microbial small RNAs (sRNAs) modulate host gene ...

Evaluating the efficacy of HRZE-based regimens in a high-burden murine model: a back-translational assessment of rifamycins and moxifloxacin substitutions in tuberculosis treatment

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionThe standard treatment for tuberculosis is the isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol (HRZE) regimen. Despite its efficacy, this regimen has limitations, including prolonged treatment duration and poor clinical outcomes in drug ...
