Impact of Electronic Cigarette Use on the Oral Microbiota: A Systematic Review

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 956-985, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To examine whether the oral microbiota of e‐cigarette users differs from that of never smokers and current smokers. Materials and Methods PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were searched on 27 August 2025. Human studies using molecular methods to compare oral microbiota in saliva, subgingival plaque and oral mucosal swabs among e‐cigarette ...

AAA+ protein unfoldases—the Moirai of the proteome

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 10, Page 1444-1474, May 2026.
AAA+ unfoldases are essential molecular motors that power protein degradation and disaggregation. This review integrates recent cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) structures and single‐molecule biophysical data to reconcile competing models of substrate translocation.

Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles in Potentiating Cancer Vaccines: Progress and Prospects

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 29, 22 May 2026.
Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) have emerged as versatile platforms for cancer vaccine development owing to their intrinsic immunostimulatory properties and high engineering flexibility. This review summarizes OMV biology, immune mechanisms, and engineering strategies that enhance vaccine efficacy, discusses key translational challenges, and ...

The lack of specificity of sodC-based PCR for the detection of Neisseria meningitidis carriage in pharyngeal swabs from adolescents

Microbiology Spectrum
The utility of the superoxide dismutase C (sodC) gene for detecting Neisseria meningitidis carriage in pharyngeal swab samples is unclear. While it has been explored as an alternative to the capsule transport A gene for detecting invasive strains, its ...

One‐Step Glycoengineering of NK Cells With High‐Affinity Siglec Ligands for Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
This study develops an engineered NmCSS enzyme with improved activity for bulky group modified sialic acids, enabling efficient synthesis of structurally diverse sialoside analogs in a single step. Glycan microarray screening identified Siglec high‐affinity ligands, which were incorporated onto natural killer (NK) cells via a one‐pot enzymatic system ...

Rapid diagnostic testing method to detect ROB β-lactamase gene in Neisseria meningitidis

Molecular and Cellular Probes
blaROB-1 is the only widely found β-lactamase in Neisseria meningitidis, and its presence is on the rise. To enhance our bacterial meningitis testing procedure, we clinically validated a real-time PCR assay to rapidly detect the blaROB gene and predict ...
