Ebulin from Dwarf Elder (Sambucus ebulus L.): A Mini-Review
Sambucus ebulus L. (dwarf elder) is a medicinal plant, the usefulness of which also as food is restricted due to its toxicity. In the last few years, both the chemistry and pharmacology of Sambucus ebulus L. have been investigated.

ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common virus that causes respiratory infections, posing a serious threat, particularly to infants, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. As the leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in infants, RSV is responsible for millions of cases worldwide each year.

The proteasome cap RPT5/Rpt5p subunit prevents aggregation of unfolded ricin A chain [PDF]
The plant cytotoxin ricin enters mammalian cells by receptor-mediated endocytosis, undergoing retrograde transport to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where its catalytic A chain (RTA) is reductively separated from the holotoxin to enter the cytosol and ...

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
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.

ABSTRACT The extensive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics, which are intended to halt bacterial growth or eliminate them, has unintentionally given rise to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is a critical threat to global health. In the pursuit of alternative solutions, researchers have focused on type II toxin–antitoxin systems prevalent within ...

Leveraging paired germline and somatic analysis to improve the classification of DDX41 variants
Summary Constitutional pathogenic variants in DDX41 predispose to myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukaemia. Acquisition of subsequent somatic hits in the second allele is frequent, with notable recurrent variants at key hotspots. Sequencing of Deoxyribonucleic acid from blood/marrow of 239 patients with suspected/confirmed haematological malignancies

We describe the CD9 interactome in epithelial cells for the first time. The interactome is diverse and dynamic and changes dependent on infection with specific bacteria. We validate these data by showing functional interaction between CD9 with CD44 or CD147. We therefore demonstrate that CD9 is a universal organiser of bacterial adhesion platforms able
