Viruses, Periodontitis, and Systemic Diseases
This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the viral involvement in periodontitis and its relevance for systemic diseases. The oral cavity acts as an active viral reservoir and dissemination platform, where virus–microbiome interactions may promote dysbiosis, periodontitis progression, and systemic inflammatory effects, while the ...

The Dual Face of Fusobacterium nucleatum in Cancer: Foe, Friend or Both?
Fusobacterium nucleatum has established interactions with cancers in humans. However, contrary to a traditional view that these interactions are uniformly pro‐tumoural, recent evidence suggests a more nuanced role, where contact‐dependent and contact‐independent mechanisms may support either tumour progression or restriction depending on tumour site ...

Emerging evidence suggests that periodontal health is not simply the absence of disease, but the result of a dynamic interaction between biological resilience, healthy lifestyles, adaptive coping mechanisms, and supportive environments. This results in a strong sense of coherence, which is not only a psychological state but also a biological state ...

The Hna Phage Defence Protein: A DNA‐Stimulated Helicase With Cryptic Nuclease Activity
The Hna (Helicase‐nuclease Abi) phage defence system consists of a single protein and provides defence through abortive infection. We show that Hna's abortive infection response can be recreated in a heterologous host upon expression of phage single‐stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) and present a characterization of Hna's biochemical activity.

Screening 72,555 plasmid sequences reveals that intact CRISPR‐Cas systems are rare (1.03%) but strongly enriched in multireplicon and multi‐stressor resistance plasmids, with Type IV‐A as the dominant subtype. These findings implicate plasmid‐encoded CRISPR‐Cas as non‐randomly retained elements of structurally complex and high‐risk backbones.
