From Dysbiosis to Disease: How Vaginal Microbiota Shape Group B Streptococcus Pathogenesis

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
Lactobacillus crispatus plays a critical role in the vaginal microbiome. Limiting glucose shifts metabolism toward HMO consumption and amino acid metabolism. These actions enable alkali production and competition. Homeostasis, characterized by dense Lactobacilli colonization and suppression of pathogens, provides resistance to dysbiosis.

tRF‐15:31‐Arg‐CCT‐3‐1 Improves Diabetic Kidney Disease by Reducing AATF and Alleviating Mesangial Cell Oxidative Stress and Inflammation

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a primary contributor to end‐stage renal disease, involves a complex interplay between oxidative stress and inflammation. Given the reported involvement of apoptosis‐antagonizing transcription factor (AATF) in cellular stress and inflammatory responses, we investigated whether the anti‐inflammatory ...

Tear osmolarity is sensitive to exercise-induced fluid loss but is not associated with common hydration measures in a field setting

, 2017
This investigation (i) examined changes in tear osmolarity in response to fluid loss that occurs with exercise in a field setting, and (ii) compared tear osmolarity with common field and laboratory hydration measures.\ua0 Sixty-three participants [age 27.

Driving Drugs Deeper: Force‐Driven Microneedle Systems for Active Therapy and Their Road Towards Clinical Implementation

Small, Volume 22, Issue 55, 1 October 2026.
Force‐driven microneedles are presented as active therapeutic microdevices that overcome the diffusion limits of conventional patches. By integrating gas generation, magnetic actuation, cavitation, or iontophoresis, these systems drive payloads deeper into tissue, enabling faster, more controlled delivery and highlighting key design principles and ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, Volume 7, Issue 5, October 2026.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.
