Comparative Genomics Suggests Primary Homothallism of Pneumocystis Species

open access: yesmBio, 2015
Pneumocystis species are fungal parasites of mammal lungs showing host specificity. Pneumocystis jirovecii colonizes humans and causes severe pneumonia in immunosuppressed individuals.

Tacrolimus Bridging and Combination Therapy Following Infliximab and JAK Inhibitor Failure in Ulcerative Colitis: A Case Series

open access: yesJGH Open, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Calcineurin inhibitors such as tacrolimus are established rescue therapies for steroid‐refractory ulcerative colitis (UC). However, their efficacy and safety as bridging or combination therapy following failure of both anti‐tumor necrosis factor (anti‐TNF) and Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor therapy remain uncertain.

Bone Marrow Infection by Pneumocystis jirovecii in a Patient with AIDS: A Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesInfectious Disease Reports
Background: Pneumocystis jirovecii primarily causes pneumonia in immunosuppressed individuals, particularly those living with advanced HIV/AIDS. Extrapulmonary dissemination is uncommon, with bone marrow involvement described in only a handful of cases ...

Designing an mRNA Vaccine against P. jirovecii Involved in Fatal Pneumonia Infections via Comparative Proteomics and Reverse Vaccinology Approaches

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: Pneumocystis jirovecii is the most emerging life-threating health problem that causes acute and fatal pneumonia infection. It is rare and more contagious for patients with leukemia and immune-deficiency disorders.

SARS‐CoV‐2 mRNA Vaccination Induces Neutralizing Antibodies and Type I IFN Changes in People Living With HIV

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examined changes in anti‐Spike (anti‐S) antibodies (Abs) and type I interferon (IFN‐I) following the BNT162b2 vaccine in people living with HIV (PLWH) and analyzed the impact of demographic and immunological factors. In total, 75 PLWH and 28 healthy donors were followed at baseline (T0), at the second dose (T1), after the second ...

New Short Tandem Repeat-Based Molecular Typing Method for Pneumocystis jirovecii Reveals Intrahospital Transmission between Patients from Different Wards.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Pneumocystis pneumonia is a severe opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients caused by the unusual fungus Pneumocystis jirovecii. Transmission is airborne, with both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals acting as a reservoir for ...

ctDNA Detection of Polyclonal KRAS Resistance in Adagrasib‐Treated NSCLC

open access: yesThoracic Cancer, Volume 17, Issue 15, August 2026.
Longitudinal ctDNA monitoring by ddPCR and targeted NGS in an adagrasib‐treated KRASG12C mutant NSCLC patient revealed the emergence of three new KRAS mutations (G12D, G13D, Q61H), indicating polyclonal resistance, approximately 10 weeks before any radiologic progression by RECIST 1.1.

Dihydropteroate Synthase Gene Mutations in Pneumocystis and Sulfa Resistance

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) remains a major cause of illness and death in HIV-infected persons. Sulfa drugs, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and dapsone are mainstays of PCP treatment and prophylaxis.

Evaluation of Global Immune Biomarkers to Predict Infections in Lung Transplant Recipients

open access: yesClinical Transplantation, Volume 40, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Immune biomarkers could assess levels of immunosuppression and predict infections in transplant recipients. We aimed to evaluate the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), absolute neutrophil count (ANC), Quantiferon‐Monitor and the mitogen component of the Quantiferon‐CMV assay alone and combined to predict serious opportunistic ...

A Phase 2 Trial of Frexalimab, a CD40L Antagonist, in Adolescents and Adults With Recent‐Onset Type 1 Diabetes (FABULINUS): Rationale and Study Design

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 6584-6594, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease, characterised by progressive destruction of the insulin‐producing pancreatic β‐cells. Preserving remaining β‐cells at the time of diagnosis may improve long‐term outcomes. Frexalimab is a humanised monoclonal antibody specific for CD40L undergoing evaluation for treatment of ...
