The Recent Development in the Diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) remains a major global health challenge due to slow, low‐sensitivity traditional diagnostics. Rapid, highly sensitive point‐of‐care tests are critical for timely diagnosis and treatment, reducing transmission. This study reviews the evolution of MTB diagnostic tests, emphasizing advancements and addressing accessibility

Diagnostic Dilemma in a Case of Anti‐PL‐7 Antibody‐Positive Interstitial Lung Disease: When Autoimmune Alveolar Proteinosis Masquerades as Anti‐Synthetase Syndrome [PDF]
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and anti‐PL‐7 antibody‐positive interstitial lung disease (ILD) share early radiographic similarities, yet their treatments differ significantly. This article reports a rare case of dual anti‐PL‐7 and anti‐GM‐CSF autoantibody positivity, initially misdiagnosed as anti‐synthetase syndrome due to interstitial ...

Structural and functional analysis of a new fungal GH114 endo‐α‐1,4‐galactosaminidase, along with homologs that establish a new GH191 family of glycoside hydrolases, are reported. In addition, various crystal pathologies led to the development of a new refinement procedure for disordered structures.Endo‐galactosaminidases are an underexplored family of
