Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy
Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.

The focus on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) detection is dictated by the increasing awareness of their impact on human health. In addition, VOCs are increasingly considered novel for early diagnosis of diseases. Among various types of VOC sensor devices, optical detectors play an essential role, offering excellent versatility, fast response time ...

THE DIAGNOSIS OF PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS [PDF]
This may be a matter of considerable ease, or one of extreme difficulty, depending on the stage of the disease and the nature of the pathologic conditions. Let us first consider its diagnosis at an early stage. Tuberculosis is an infection, and as is the rule with infections, it occasions a rise of temperature even at its incipiency. Except very rarely,

CTSK plays a critical role in pulmonary fibrosis. Excessive CTSK accumulation interacts with SNX9 to enhance TGF‐β1‐induced SMAD3 activation and GLS1 expression in fibroblasts, driving glutamine metabolism for collagen biosynthesis and exacerbating pulmonary fibrosis.

The infectiousness of tuberculosis patients coinfected with HIV [PDF]
The current understanding of airborne tuberculosis (TB) transmission is based on classic 1950s studies in which guinea pigs were exposed to air from a tuberculosis ward.

The tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) in lung cancer tissues exhibit active cystine metabolism. Restricting cystine concentration in macrophages induces M1 phenotypic polarization and upregulation of PD‐L1 expression through the GSH‐NF‐κB signaling pathway.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis suppresses host antimicrobial peptides by dehydrogenating L-alanine
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), ancient scavengers of bacteria, are very poorly induced in macrophages infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), but the underlying mechanism remains unknown.

Current landscape of exosomes in tuberculosis development, diagnosis, and treatment applications
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), remains one of the most prevalent and deadly infectious diseases worldwide. Currently, there are complex interactions between host cells and pathogens in TB. The onset,
