Exosomal miR‐1246 in Syphilis Serofast State: Diagnostic Value and NLRP3 Inflammasome Suppression

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Serofast state (SF), defined as persistent low‐titer antibodies after treatment, poses a diagnostic challenge because of the overlap with serologic features of active infection. Exosomal miRNAs are stable in body fluids and have potential as diagnostic markers.

Expanded Functional Characterization and Optimization of Protein Expression in Treponema denticola Shuttle Plasmids

Molecular Oral Microbiology, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 69-84, April 2026.
We report optimization of the Treponema denticola shuttle plasmid system by minimizing its size and by characterizing an array of promoter‐gene constructs for genetic complementation, including the first use in Treponema of a Tet‐inducible system for controlled expression of potentially toxic genes.
