IgE to cyclophilin Bet v 7 triggers mast cell activation and mediates cross‐reactivity with Ara h 18 in children with seasonal allergic rhinitis

Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 37, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Background Panallergens are ubiquitously expressed molecules that may drive IgE sensitization across diverse allergen sources, thereby shaping complex clinical phenotypes such as asthma and pollen–food allergy syndrome (PFAS). Although several panallergen families have been extensively characterized, unexplained sensitization patterns are ...

Antigenic diversity is generated by distinct evolutionary mechanisms in African trypanosome species [PDF]

, 2012
Antigenic variation enables pathogens to avoid the host immune response by continual switching of surface proteins. The protozoan blood parasite Trypanosoma brucei causes human African trypanosomiasis ("sleeping sickness") across sub-Saharan Africa and ...

Genome‐Wide Codon Reprogramming Enables a Multifactorially Attenuated Influenza Vaccine with Broad Cross‐Protection

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 9, 13 February 2026.
Genome‐wide codon reprogramming of influenza A virus introduces 1956 synonymous mutations across five segments and elevates CpG content, causing defective NA packaging, loss of NS1 accumulation, and enhanced ZAP‐mediated antiviral responses without affecting RNA or protein synthesis. These mechanisms result in profound attenuation and potent homologous

Uncovering the Key Factors Influencing Phytochemical and Phytopharmacological Properties During Medicinal Plant Processing

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
From farm to pharma, this review details the engineering of quality in medicinal plants through a science‐driven approach: it first elucidates how genetic and environmental factors inscribe the plant's phytochemical and phytopharmacological profile before harvest, and then dissects the postharvest techniques and technologies—chemical and thermal pre ...

Advances in Therapeutic Antibody Discovery and Development Targeting G Protein‐Coupled Receptors

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 14, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral to numerous biological processes and are associated with various diseases across all therapeutic areas. Consequently, GPCRs present substantial potential for antibody‐based therapies. This review offers an overview of the therapeutic GPCR‐antibody target landscape and examines the diversity ...

Phase and antigenic variation in mycoplasmas [PDF]

, 2010
With their reduced genome bound by a single membrane, bacteria of the Mycoplasma species represent some of the simplest autonomous life forms. Yet, these minute prokaryotes are able to establish persistent infection in a wide range of hosts, even in the ...

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.
