Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Structural Basis of the Membrane Association by the Conserved RocS Membrane‐Targeting Sequence in Streptococcus

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 17, 23 March 2026.
Chromosome segregation in Streptococcus pneumoniae depends on RocS, a bitopic protein whose membrane‐anchoring mechanisms were unclear. Using NMR and AFM, this study reveals that the widely conserved RocS anchor binds to membranes via a conserved kink‐helix motif which inserts into lipid nanodomains.

Advances in Rapid Nucleic Acid Diagnostics for Hepatitis B and C Viruses: A Comprehensive Review

Reviews in Medical Virology, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Chronic viral hepatitis, predominantly caused by HBV and HCV infections, remains a major global health burden and a leading cause of cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and liver‐related mortality. Achieving the World Health Organisation (WHO) target of diagnosing 90% of HBV and HCV infections by 2030 necessitates a fundamental ...

A clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeat‐Cas12a‐based assay for rapid dengue virus monitoring in mosquito and clinical samples facilitating global collaborative surveillance and risk assessment to block dengue spreading

Interdisciplinary Medicine, Volume 4, Issue 1, January 2026.
The RAA‐Cas12a assay outperforms real‐time PCR in sensitivity (92.3%) while matching its specificity (100%) for dengue virus detection in clinical samples. It effectively identifies DENV in mosquitoes, with field data correlating to local outbreaks. This rapid, simple, and precise method serves as an early warning tool for dengue management.

OmpA_C‐Like Domain of PorE Is Essential for PorE Function in the Type IX Secretion System (T9SS) of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Some T9SS Cargo Proteins Are Secreted in a PorE‐Independent Manner

Microbiology and Immunology, Volume 70, Issue 1, Page 15-26, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis secretes gingipains, highly hydrolytic proteases, to the cell surface or external environment via a type IX secretion system (T9SS). PorE is one of the T9SS component proteins essential for gingipain secretion. It consists of four domains: TPR, WD40, CRD, and OmpA_C‐like.

Navigating infection by pathogenic spirochetes: The host‐bacteria interface at the atomic level

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Pathogenic spirochetes bind and interact with various host structures and molecules throughout the course of infection. By utilizing their outer surface molecules, spirochetes can effectively modulate their dissemination, interact with immune system regulators, and select specific destination niches within the host.
