Baseline GDF‐15 predicts linezolid‐induced myelosuppression in rifampicin‐resistant tuberculosis. Patients with higher pretreatment GDF‐15 (> 950 pg/mL) were more likely to develop significant hemoglobin decline during therapy. Measuring GDF‐15 before treatment may help identify high‐risk patients and guide safer, personalized linezolid use.

The Xanthomonas citri Hanks‐type kinase PknS autophosphorylates and directly phosphorylates the alternative sigma factor EcfK at five residues. Besides the conserved residue T51 in the σ2 domain, phosphorylation of a residue in the linker between σ2 and σ4 is critical for EcfK activation by promoting its interaction with a positively charged pocket in ...

Integrated transcriptomic, proteomic and flow cytometry analyses reveal that STAT1 negatively regulates MAIT cell effector and glycolytic functions, while STAT3, STAT5 and HIF1α act as positive modulators. Targeting these pathways may offer new strategies to restore MAIT cell function in immune dysregulation and cancer.

ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a T helper (Th) cell‐mediated disease that targets central nervous system (CNS) white matter. This disease affects three times more females than males. For many years, the etiology of MS was not well understood and the exact nature of the autoimmune reaction was speculative.
