We investigated the potential of iloperidone as an activator of Sigma‐1 receptor (S1R) neuroprotective function in juvenile Huntington's disease (jHD). We tested iloperidone on cortical neurons differentiated from patient‐derived iPSCs, demonstrating that it acts as a S1R agonist, decreasing apoptosis, huntingtin aggregation, and oxidative stress ...

Shiga Toxins and the Pathophysiology of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome in Humans and Animals
Food-borne diseases are estimated at 76 million illnesses and 5000 deaths every year in the United States with the greatest burden on young children, the elderly and immunocompromised populations.

Ligand binding represses bacterial histidine kinase activity by inhibiting its dimerization
PdtaS is a kinase in the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis that senses copper and nitric oxide and controls virulence gene expression, but how the kinase senses these compounds was unclear. We show that PdtaS is active as a dimer with each monomer phosphorylating the other in trans.

Preventing Foodborne Illness: Shigellosis
Shigella is a Gram-negative, nonmotile, non-sporeforming, rod-shaped bacterium capable of causing disease in humans. Disease occurs when virulent Shigella organisms are consumed and invade the intestinal mucosa, resulting in tissue destruction.

ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp inflammation triggers immune responses involving macrophages and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), which interact to regulate angiogenesis essential for tissue repair. M1 pro‐inflammatory macrophages predominate early in pulpitis, and clarifying their angiogenic role is vital in identifying inflammatory regenerative ...

Beraprost Attenuates Starvation‐Induced Apoptosis and Protects Feline Endothelial Cells
This study established a feline endothelial cell starvation model to test the anti‐apoptotic effects of beraprost and its stereoisomers. Beraprost and beraprost‐314d reduced starvation‐induced apoptosis by inhibiting caspase‐3/7 activity and modulating Bax expression, while beraprost‐315d was less potent.

Identification of Potential Vaccine Strains of Escherichia coli Isolates From Diarrhoeic Calves
This study aimed to identify vaccine candidate Escherichia coli strains isolated from diarrheic calves. Faecal samples collected from 500 calves were analysed, and E. coli strains were isolated and characterized phenotypically and genotypically. Antibiotic resistance profiles, virulence‐associated genes and MLVA genotyping were used to select 20 ...
