Hybrid Macrocyclic Peptides — Synthetic Strategies to Diversify and Cyclize Peptide Libraries in Phage Display Selections

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Hybrid macrocyclic peptides unite genetically encoded peptide libraries with the structural complexity of synthetic small molecules. This Review critically analyzes phage‐compatible cyclization and diversification chemistries, highlights emerging opportunities beyond traditional cysteine‐based approaches, and outlines how future advances may enable the

In Vivo Emergence of Podovirus Resistance via tarS Mutation During Phage-Antibiotic Treatment of Experimental MSSA Endocarditis

Viruses
Phage therapy shows promise as an adjunct to antibiotics for treating Staphylococcus aureus infections. We previously reported a combined flucloxacillin/two-phage cocktail treatment selected for resistance to podovirus phage 66 in a rodent model of ...

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and Microbiota‐Based Therapeutics in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Current Evidence and Future Directions

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The intestinal microbiome is a key regulator of immune homeostasis, metabolism, and epithelial barrier integrity. In patients with malignant hematological diseases, particularly those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, microbiome perturbations by reduced diversity, pathobiont expansion, and loss of beneficial metabolites are common as ...

The gut microbiome and drug‐resistant epilepsy: Microbiome–antiseizure medication interactions and implications for pharmacoresistance

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects approximately one‐third of patients with epilepsy and represents a major unmet clinical need. While traditional hypotheses of pharmacoresistance have focused on alterations in drug targets, efflux transporter overexpression, and intrinsic disease severity, the gut microbiome has recently emerged as a ...

Isolation and characterization of phages ΦZC2 and ΦZC3 against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, and efficacy of ΦZC3 on A549 cells

Virology Journal
Background Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen and a major causative agent of hospital-acquired infections. This pathogen can acquire various antibiotic resistance genes, including those conferring resistance to last-resort antibiotics ...

Antibacterial Hydrogel Dressing With Ca2+‐Dependent Hyaluronidase Responsiveness for Accelerating Wound Healing via On‐Demand Release of AIE Photosensitizers

Exploration, EarlyView.
This study innovates a Ca2+‐responsive hydrogel dressing that releases AIE photosensitizers on‐demand. Low Ca2+ enhances bacterial hyaluronidase (HAase) activity, degrading hyaluronic acid dressing to trigger antibacterial ROS release, while high Ca2+ inhibits HAase, preventing overdosing.

Strategies and mechanisms of precision genome engineering: From gene editing to genome writing

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
In this review, we examined the progression of genome manipulation from stochastic nuclease‐mediated cutting toward precise editing and programmable genome writing. We discussed tools like multi‐kilobase RNA‐guided integrators and Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐designed effectors and showed how these advances enable researchers to treat genomes as ...
