Structural insights into xyloglucan recognition by an ABC transporter from a Gram‐positive, thermophilic bacterium

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Athe_2052 is an ABC transporter substrate‐binding protein that recognizes xyloglucan heptasaccharide (XXXG), a soluble breakdown product of plant xyloglucan. The crystal structure of Athe_2052, together with binding assays and computational modeling, shows how XXXG is recognized by this sugar transporter.

Can Artificial Intelligence Be Utilised to Develop Point‐of‐Care Endodontic Microbiological Technologies?

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Primary or persistent endodontic disease is caused by microbial biofilms that irritate the pulp and periapical tissues. Extensive microbiological analyses of these biofilms and their constituent pathogens have revealed their diversity and complexity.

Interleukin‐12: Central Roles in Immune Regulation and Disease Therapy

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
IL‐12 levels are tightly regulated to balance effective protective immunity against infections and cancer with the risk of excessive inflammation and autoimmune disease. Both insufficient and excessive IL‐12 activity can therefore be detrimental, highlighting the importance of precisely controlling its production and signaling. ABSTRACT Interleukin‐12 (

Australian consensus recommendations for the management of increased meningococcal infection risk in adults with neurological diseases treated with complement inhibitors

Internal Medicine Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Complement inhibitor therapy carries a risk of serious infections, including meningococcal disease. Here we provide evidence‐based recommendations and expert consensus for immunisation and prophylactic treatment of patients receiving, or planning to receive, complement inhibitors for neurological conditions in the Australian setting.

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Single‐Cell Atlas Reveals Neutrophil Heterogeneity in Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection‐Induced Sepsis

Immunology, EarlyView.
The roles of distinct lung neutrophil compartments involved in hvKp infection remain poorly understood. Here, utilising single‐cell RNA sequencing, we identified four neutrophil subsets in the lungs of hvKp‐infected mice: N1, N2, N3a, and N3b, which were organised along a maturation trajectory.

Epigenetic and Metabolic Changes That Drive Trained Immunity in Response to Microbes and Vaccines

Immunology, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract illustrates how microbial products, vaccines and microbial metabolites activate pattern‐recognition receptor signalling, inducing metabolic rewiring and epigenetic remodelling. These changes establish long‐lasting trained immunity through the functional reprogramming of haematopoietic progenitors and innate immune cells, thereby

Management of Non‐Plaque‐Induced Gingival Conditions: A Systematic Review—Part 2: Inflammatory and Immune Conditions; Neoplasms; and Gingival Pigmentation

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims This systematic review assesses current evidence on the management of non‐plaque (dental biofilm)‐induced gingival diseases and conditions (NPIGDs), including (i) inflammatory and immune conditions, (ii) neoplasms and (iii) gingival pigmentations.
