The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation
iMeta, EarlyView.This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...

Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles in the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Liver Diseases
Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.Liver diseases are a major global health challenge, with current treatments inadequate. This review highlights the role of bacterial extracellular vesicles in liver inflammation, fibrosis, and metabolism. We also explore these from commensals and probiotics, their protective effects, and discuss research challenges and future therapeutic potential ...

O-glycosylation as a novel control mechanism of peptidoglycan hydrolase activity. [PDF]
J Biol Chem, 2013 Acm2, the major autolysin of Lactobacillus plantarum, is a tripartite protein. Its catalytic domain is surrounded by an O-glycosylated N-terminal region rich in Ala, Ser, and Thr (AST domain), which is of low complexity and unknown function, and a C-terminal region composed of five SH3b peptidoglycan (PG) binding domains.

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease
Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a diverse class of biopolymers holding considerable promise as functional food ingredients. This review analyzes the dual function of microbial EPS as a candidate for prebiotic agents and techno‐functional additives.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis FtsX extracellular domain activates the peptidoglycan hydrolase, RipC. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014 Significance During growth and division, bacterial cells partition the cell wall to daughter cells, but the “inside-out” signals that regulate peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolysis are not well understood. Our studies of mycobacterial proteins achieve in vitro reconstitution of the regulation of the PG hydrolase, RipC, by the FtsX extracellular ...
