A culturomics approach reveals cross-feeding capacity of intestinal pig bacteria upon release of inositol from phytate

open access: yesMicrobiome
Background Phytate is the primary phosphorus storage molecule of plants and plays a major role in animal nutrition. To enhance phosphate availability and absorption in livestock, and to reduce eutrophication by liquid manure, bacterial phytases are often

Seronegative spondyloarthropathies : a review : part II: genetics and pathogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
In none of the spondyloarthropathies is the pathogenesis well understood. Much of the investigation into the aetio-pathogenesis of these diseases has focused on the association with HLA-B27 and the known triggering potential of certain infectious agents.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Roving methyltransferases generate a mosaic epigenetic landscape and influence evolution in Bacteroides fragilis group

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Three types of DNA methyl modifications have been detected in bacterial genomes, and mechanistic studies have demonstrated roles for DNA methylation in physiological functions ranging from phage defense to transcriptional control of virulence and host ...

V-ATPase V0a1 promotes Weibel–Palade body biogenesis through the regulation of membrane fission

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Membrane fission, the division of a membrane-bound structure into two discrete compartments, is essential for diverse cellular events, such as endocytosis and vesicle/granule biogenesis; however, the process remains unclear.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Control of CD4+ T cells to restrain inflammatory diseases via eukaryotic elongation factor 2 kinase

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2023
CD4+ T cells, particularly IL-17-secreting helper CD4+ T cells, play a central role in the inflammatory processes underlying autoimmune disorders. Eukaryotic Elongation Factor 2 Kinase (eEF2K) is pivotal in CD8+ T cells and has important implications in ...

Pathogenesis, Immunology and Management of Dermatophytosis

open access: yes, 2021
Dermatophytic infections of the skin and appendages are a common occurrence. The pathogenesis involves complex interplay of agent (dermatophytes), host (inherent host defense and host immune response) and the environment.

A context‐dependent modulatory role for eIF6 in acquired resistance to vemurafenib in melanoma

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Acquired resistance to vemurafenib upregulates the translation factor eIF6 in melanoma cells. Silencing eIF6 in resistant cells reduces proliferation and partially restores drug sensitivity, whereas its overexpression increases sensitivity across melanoma lines regardless of BRAF status, via modulation of mTOR, S6K, and MAPK signaling.

A case report of multiple primary prostate tumors with differential drug sensitivity

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Prostate cancer is often a multifocal disease but how best to manage this clinically remains unclear. Here, the authors report a single case study of a patient with two genetically diverse tumours which showed differential response to therapy.
