Investigating phagosome dynamics of microbial pathogens [PDF]
, 2015 Many microbial pathogens are able to evade killing by phagocytes of the innate immune system. This thesis focuses on two pathogens: the fungal pathogen \(Cryptococcus\) \(neoformans\) and the bacterial pathogen \(Streptococcus\) \(agalactiae\).

De novo or Salvage? Nucleotide Availability as a Driver of Bacterial Adaptation and Virulence
MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.Bacterial pathogens survive in different host environments by switching between making nucleotides by de novo synthesis and scavenging them from the host. This flexibility supports growth and virulence making nucleotide metabolism an attractive therapeutic target.

SIRT Family: Biological Functions and Therapeutic Targets
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.SIRT1–SIRT7 networks from transgenic mice to human‑relevant therapeutic targets. SIRT1–SIRT7 form an isoform‑, organ‑, and disease‑specific regulatory network. Transgenic Sirt1–7 mouse models define central regulatory SIRTs (SIRT1, SIRT3, SIRT6), context‑dependent modifiers (SIRT2, SIRT4, SIRT5, SIRT7), and their key mechanisms and target organs. These

Metabolic Regulation of Macrophages in Health and Disease
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.Extracellular metabolites drive metabolic rewiring of glucose, lipid, and amino acid pathways in macrophages, steering their polarization toward pro‐ or anti‐inflammatory phenotypes and shaping a wide range of disease processes. Macrophages from different tissues display distinct metabolic signatures, and therapeutic strategies that target these ...

Glucose Transporter 1 in Health and Disease
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.As the quintessential facilitator of basal glucose uptake, glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) is indispensable for maintaining systemic energy homeostasis. This graphical abstract delineates the multidimensional landscape of GLUT1 in normal physiology. It highlights its tissue‐specific metabolic roles—from fueling erythrocytes and fetal development to ...

Isolation and Western Blotting of Latex-Bead Phagosomes to Track Phagosome Maturation [PDF]
Phagocytosis plays an essential role in the immune system for the defense against invading microorganisms and the clearing of apoptotic cells. After internalization, the newly formed phagosome is constantly remodeled by fusion with early endosomes, late ...

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 8, Page 9-28, August 2026.ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.
