Neutrophils at the Maternal‐Fetal Interface: Agents of Protection or Destruction?

American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, Volume 94, Issue 5, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Neutrophils, traditionally recognized for their role in innate immunity, have emerged as a key cell population at the maternal‐fetal interface, during both uncomplicated and pathological pregnancies. Neutrophil effector functions, including phagocytosis, neutrophil extracellular trap formation, and degranulation, can play protective roles ...

Accuracy of Inflammatory Biomarkers for Ruling out Invasive Bacterial Infections in Young Febrile Infants

Acta Paediatrica, Volume 114, Issue 11, Page 2969-2975, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of procalcitonin (PCT), C‐reactive protein (CRP) and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) to rule out invasive bacterial infections (IBI) in well‐appearing febrile infants aged ≤ 60 days. Methods Multicentre study of infants ≤ 60 days with fever without source.

Flagellins as Vaccine Adjuvants and Cancer Immunotherapy: Recent Advances and Future Prospects

Immunology, Volume 176, Issue 3, Page 277-303, November 2025.
The figure depicts the role of flagellin in immune cells. Flagellin interacts with TLR5, resulting in the formation of homodimers and the recruitment of MyD88, which activates the IκB and MAPK signalling pathways. This results in the activation of NF‐κB and AP‐1, producing TNF‐α, IL‐6, IL‐8, and IL‐12.

A Cas12a Toolbox for Rapid and Flexible Group B Streptococcus Genomic Editing and CRISPRi

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 5, Page 449-461, November 2025.
We developed a resource set and protocols that allow researchers to quickly alter or silence genes in Group B Streptococcus. Using flexible plasmids and a drug‐inducible Cas12a system, the approach enables efficient generation of insertions, deletions, or knockdowns. These tools are publicly available.
