Liver Fibrosis: Molecular Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Interventions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
We systematically summarized the etiologies, diagnostic approaches, and pathogenic mechanisms of liver fibrosis. Also, the therapeutic interventions for liver fibrosis were systematically classified into two main categories: etiological treatment and mechanism‐based antifibrotic therapies.

Genome of the red alga Porphyridium purpureum [PDF]

, 2013
The limited knowledge we have about red algal genomes comes from the highly specialized extremophiles, Cyanidiophyceae. Here, we describe the first genome sequence from a mesophilic, unicellular red alga, Porphyridium purpureum. The 8,355 predicted genes

Novel GH115 xylan α‐1,2‐glucuronidases with distinct preferences for xylan‐derived oligomers and polymers

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Natural polymers are promising sustainable materials for diverse applications. Xylans, major components of hemicellulose, exhibit origin‐dependent substitution patterns that determine their physicochemical properties. Targeted enzymatic modification of these substituents offers a mild and precise approach for tailoring the polymer's ...

Niche differentiation is spatially and temporally regulated in the rhizosphere. [PDF]

, 2020
The rhizosphere is a hotspot for microbial carbon transformations, and is the entry point for root polysaccharides and polymeric carbohydrates that are important precursors to soil organic matter (SOM).

Bacteriophage-encoded virion-associated enzymes to overcome the carbohydrate barriers during the infection process [PDF]

, 2017
Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that infect the host after successful receptor recognition and adsorption to the cell surface. The irreversible adherence followed by genome material ejection into host cell cytoplasm must be preceded by the passage ...

A Fusarium sacchari Glycoside Hydrolase 12 Protein FsEG1 Is a Major Virulence Factor During Sugarcane Infection and Confers Resistance to Pokkah Boeng Disease via the HIGS Strategy

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3458-3478, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Pokkah Boeng disease (PBD), caused by Fusarium sacchari, has severely impacted the yield and quality of sugarcane, resulting in significant economic losses. However, the molecular interaction mechanisms between F. sacchari and sugarcane remain poorly understood.

Bacteria- and Phage-Derived Proteins in Phage Infection

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Phages have exerted severe evolutionary pressure on prokaryotes over billions of years, resulting in major rearrangements. Without every enzyme involved in the phage–bacterium interaction being examined; bacteriophages cannot be used in practical ...
