From omics to AI—mapping the pathogenic pathways in type 2 diabetes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Integrating multi‐omics data with AI‐based modelling (unsupervised and supervised machine learning) identify optimal patient clusters, informing AI‐driven accurate risk stratification. Digital twins simulate individual trajectories in real time, guiding precision medicine by matching patients to targeted therapies.

Cytochrome P450 1A1 is essential for the microbial metabolite, Urolithin A-mediated protection against colitis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundCytochrome P450 Family 1 Subfamily A Member 1 (CYP1A1) pathway, which is regulated by aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) plays an important role in chemical carcinogenesis and xenobiotic metabolism.

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

Use of the Fluorescent Dye Thioflavin T to Track Amyloid Structures in the Pathogenic Yeast Candida albicans

Bio-Protocol
The human pathogenic yeast Candida albicans can attach to epithelial cells or indwelling medical devices to form biofilms. These microbial communities are highly problematic in the clinic as they reduce both sensitivity to antifungal drugs and detection ...

A working model for cytoplasmic assembly of H/ACA snoRNPs

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dyskerin is the component of nuclear H/ACA ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) endowed with pseudouridine synthase catalytic activity. Two isoforms of human dyskerin have been characterized: the abundant Iso1, mainly nuclear, and the shorter Iso3, mainly cytoplasmic but occasionally imported into nuclei.

Shining a light on Candida-induced epithelial damage with a luciferase reporter

mSphere
Host cell damage is a key parameter for research in infection biology, drug testing, and substance safety screening. In this study, we introduce a luciferase reporter system as a new and reliable assay to measure cell damage and validate it with the ...

Regulatory variants of APOBEC3 genes potentially associate with COVID-19 severity in populations with African ancestry

Scientific Reports, 2023
Since November 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has caused the worldwide pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the impact of which is huge to the lives of world populations.

Mechanistic basis for inhibition of the extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase GES‐1 by enmetazobactam and tazobactam

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is of huge importance, resulting in over 1 million deaths each year. Here, we describe how a new drug, enmetazobactam, designed to help fight resistant bacterial diseases, inhibits a key enzyme (GES‐1) responsible for AMR. Our data show it is a more potent inhibitor than the related tazobactam, with high‐level computation

Candida albicans-Induced Epithelial Damage Mediates Translocation through Intestinal Barriers

mBio, 2018
Life-threatening systemic infections often occur due to the translocation of pathogens across the gut barrier and into the bloodstream. While the microbial and host mechanisms permitting bacterial gut translocation are well characterized, these ...

Improved transformation efficiency in Mycoplasma hominis enables disruption of the MIB–MIP system targeting human immunoglobulins

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
The pathogenicity of Mycoplasma hominis is poorly understood, mainly due to the absence of efficient genetic tools. A polyethylene glycol-mediated transformation protocol was recently developed for the M. hominis reference strain M132 using the pMT85-Tet
