Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Antibacterial Effect of Berberrubine on the Type III Secretion System

Natural Product Communications, 2023
The increasing antimicrobial drug resistance of Salmonella typhimurium has been a major public health problem in many countries. The type III secretion system (TTSS) of S typhimurium is an attractive target for the development of new antibiotics against ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Assessing toxicity and competitive fitness of Vibrio isolates from coastal waters in Israel

mSphere
Several species of aquatic bacteria belonging to the genus Vibrio are emerging pathogens of humans and marine animals. Vibrio-associated infections have been shown to correlate with the increase in the oceans’ surface water temperatures.

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Five Plant Natural Products Are Potential Type III Secretion System Inhibitors to Effectively Control Soft-Rot Disease Caused by Dickeya

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Dickeya zeae, a plant soft-rot pathogen, possesses a type III secretion system (T3SS) as one of the major virulence factors, infecting a wide variety of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants and causing serious losses to the production of economic ...

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.
