Small Methods, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 20, 2025.This work demonstrates the use of polymer‐tethered glycosylated gold nanoparticles for the label‐free evaluation of influenza virus binding in a simple microplate. Sialylated linear and branched glycans are integrated using a modular capture and assembly process. The microplate‐based assays are shown to correlate with biolayer interferometry and can be

Gut Microbiota Composition and Modulation in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 62, Issue 4, August 2025.Clinical studies link gut microbiota (GM) composition to adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) treatment response. In infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) mouse models, GM modulation via antibiotics, ketogenic diet (KD), fecal transplantation, or probiotics reduced epileptic spasms, while in Dravet syndrome (DS) models, the KD showed no anti‐seizure

Production, purification and crystallization of a trans-sialidase from Trypanosoma vivax [PDF]
, 2015 Sialidases and trans-sialidases play important roles in the life cycles of various microorganisms. These enzymes can serve nutritional purposes, act as virulence factors or mediate cellular interactions (cell evasion and invasion).

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2025.Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on lacto‐N‐tetraose (LNT) as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. The NF is mainly composed of the human‐identical milk oligosaccharide (HiMO) LNT, but it also contains lacto‐N ...

Unique features in the intracellular transport of typhoid toxin revealed by a genome-wide screen.
PLoS Pathogens, 2019 Typhoid toxin is a virulence factor for Salmonella Typhi and Paratyphi, the cause of typhoid fever in humans. This toxin has a unique architecture in that its pentameric B subunit, made of PltB, is linked to two enzymatic A subunits, the ADP ribosyl ...

Prediction of specific virus outbreaks made from the increased concentration of a new class of virus genomic peptides, replikins. [PDF]
, 2011 Advance warning of pathogen outbreaks has not been possible heretofore. A new class of genomic peptides associated with rapid replication was discovered and named replikins. Software was designed to analyze replikins quantitatively.

N-Glycolylneuraminic Acid as a Receptor for Influenza A Viruses
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: A species barrier for the influenza A virus is the differential expression of sialic acid, which can either be α2,3-linked for avians or α2,6-linked for human viruses.
