Mortality and Associated Factors Among Adult Tetanus Patients Admitted at Public Hospitals in Bahir Dar City, Ethiopia: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Tetanus, caused by Clostridium tetani, results in rigor spasms and remains as major cause of mortality in areas with poor vaccination and sanitation. Mortality has been cited to be 20%–55% in Ethiopia, possibly due to variation in healthcare, immunization, and intensive care access.

The Cinderella tree, Quillaja saponaria – A soap story

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 439-451, March 2026.
Our current understanding of plants has been shaped by the entwining of different cultures. The Chilean soapbark tree, traditionally valued as a source of natural soap, was shown by serendipitous research in France in the 1900s to produce compounds that can boost the immune response to vaccines.

High-level Expression of Tetanus Toxin Fragment C in Escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Razi Institute, 2018
Fragment C is the C-terminal domain of the heavy chain of tetanus toxin that can promote the immune response against the lethal dose of this toxin. Therefore, this portion can be considered as a candidate vaccine against tetanus infection, which occurs ...

Drug Delivery Systems for Resiquimod to Control Myeloid‐Derived Suppressor Cells in Cancer Immunotherapy

open access: yesWIREs Nanomedicine and Nanobiotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are key contributors to cancer immunotherapy failure and major targets in new therapeutic strategies. We highlight therapeutic approaches to counteract their immunosuppressive functions and discuss recent efforts to optimize drug delivery for controlling MDSCs, focusing on resiquimod as a representative drug ...

Infections in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: Evolving Risks and Prevention Strategies

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Haematology, Volume 116, Issue 3, Page 204-214, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Infections remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), reflecting both intrinsic immune dysfunction and therapy‐related immunosuppression. The pathogenesis of immunodeficiency in CLL is multifactorial: neoplastic B cells impair humoral immunity, T cells are functionally exhausted, and ...

Inhibitors of synaptic vesicle exocytosis reduce surface expression of postsynaptic glutamate receptors

open access: yesAnimal Cells and Systems, 2020
Bafilomycin A1, a vacuolar H+-ATPase inhibitor, and botulinum toxin B and tetanus toxin, both vesicle fusion inhibitors, are widely known exocytosis blockers that have been used to inhibit the presynaptic release of neurotransmitters.

An Unusual Case of Tetanus Masquerading as an Acute Abdomen: A Case Report

open access: yesClinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine, 2020
Introduction: Tetanus is an acute onset neurological disease that is often lethal. It has a high disease burden in low and middle-income countries. Tetanus is caused by a toxin made by spores of the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which are found in soil ...

Engram Synapses and Synapse Dynamics in Memory Processing

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 3, March 2026.
Learning‐induced neuronal activity dynamically rewires synapses, altering their formation and elimination rates in task‐related regions. In vivo two‐photon imaging has revealed that activity‐driven presynaptic, postsynaptic, and astrocytic mechanisms regulate synaptogenesis and axonal bouton engulfment.

Detección inmunoenzimática de la toxina de la bacteria Clostridium tetani: una alternativa a las pruebas biológicas con ratones

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2006
Immunoenzimatic detection of the Clostridium tetani bacterial toxin: an alternative to mice bioassays. Cell-free extracts from 20 strains of Clostridium tetani isolated from soil samples, were tested for tetanus toxin production using an enzyme ...
