Macrophage: Biological Functions, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are sentinel innate immune cells that arise from embryonic precursors and bone marrow monocytes, displaying a functional continuum that transcends the classical M1 (pro‐inflammatory)/M2 (anti‐inflammatory) dichotomy. Under homeostatic conditions, balanced M1/M2 polarization preserves tissue integrity by coordinating immune surveillance ...

Synergistic antibacterial effect of silver and ebselen against multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacterial infections

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2017
Multidrug‐resistant (MDR) Gram‐negative bacteria account for a majority of fatal infections, and development of new antibiotic principles and drugs is therefore of outstanding importance.

Pathogenesis of Tuberculosis: Interplay Between Host Antituberculosis Immunity and Immune Evasion Strategies of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis–host interactions and infection outcomes. Following initial infection, alveolar macrophages phagocytose the pathogen, prompting the recruitment of innate immune cells including neutrophils, NK cells, and interstitial macrophages.

Elevated Expression of Selenoprotein Synthesis Enzyme SEPHS2 Driven by ATF4 Promotes the Resistance to Ferroptosis in Prostate Cancer

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
Under the treatment of ferroptosis inducers, the expression of SEPHS2 is upregulated, driven by ATF4, to increase the biosynthesis of selenoproteins (e.g., GPX4) to promote resistance to ferroptosis. ABSTRACT While it has been reported that antioxidant selenoproteins are crucial for anti‐ferroptosis in tumors, it remains unclear whether and how ...

Radiobiology studies of gold nanoparticle‐enhanced radiosensitization in proton therapy

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Background Approximately 50%$\%$ of newly diagnosed cancer patients worldwide receive radiotherapy, most commonly with X‐rays. Proton therapy has emerged as a promising alternative, offering complementary advantages over conventional X‐rays due to its highly localized energy deposition at the Bragg peak, thereby reducing radiation exposure to ...

Bacterial Volatile Organic Compounds Mediate a Cooperative Relationship Between Bacteria and Plants Under Heavy Metal Stress

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
In this brief report, we propose a scenario in which bacterial volatile organic compound (BVOC)‐mediated communication with plants can be interpreted as a form of plant–microbe cooperation under heavy metal stress. Different VOCs are emitted depending on bacterial stress states, and VOCs from heavy metal‐stressed bacteria modulate plant defense ...

Thioredoxin system modulates metabolic and stomatal responses to elevated CO2 in Arabidopsis

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1774-1791, August 2026.
Integrative model of extraplastidial NADPH‐dependent thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin system‐mediated regulation of stomatal function, redox homeostasis, and metabolic responses under ambient and elevated CO2 in Arabidopsis thaliana. Summary The NADPH‐dependent thioredoxin reductase/thioredoxin (NTR/TRX) system plays a central role in maintaining ...

The Circadian Oscillator Affects Both Glutathione Homeostasis and Its Response to Salt Stress in Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5421-5434, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Glutathione, including reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG), is the major non‐protein thiol‐based redox buffer. There are diurnal rhythms in total glutathione level and in this work, we investigate whether these oscillations might be indicative of circadian regulation of total glutathione homeostasis.
