Understanding Exosomes in Hair Regeneration

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Alopecia is a prevalent condition correlated with significant psychosocial challenges, while contemporary treatments exhibit variable efficacy, require extended use, and may cause adverse effects. This review aimed to comprehensively assess exosome‐mediated interventions as a novel cell‐free regenerative approach for hair ...

Structural basis for the adsorption of a single-stranded RNA bacteriophage

Nature Communications, 2019
Single-stranded RNA bacteriophages use a single maturation protein (Mat) to attach to a retractile pilus of the bacterial host. Here, the authors report the structures of the MS2 phage bound to the host receptor F-pili and define the orientations of Mat ...

Seeding wildrye grasses (Elymus spp.) overcomes litter interactions to slow decomposition in buckthorn‐managed forests (Rhamnus cathartica)

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) is an invasive shrub that is widespread throughout deciduous forests of North America. Buckthorn benefits more from increased nitrogen availability compared to many native competitors. Increased litter decomposition can be a part of a self‐reinforcing mechanism of invasion.

Modelling Climate‐Resilient Habitats for Conservation and Restoration of Isoberlinia doka Craib and Stapf and Isoberlinia tomentosa (Harms) Craib and Stapf in Benin

Climate Resilience and Sustainability, Volume 5, Issue 2, December 2026.
Despite having similar climatic niches, woody plant species can exhibit contrasting responses to climate change. Using MaxEnt and spatial prioritization, we evaluated Isoberlinia doka and I. tomentosa under future climate scenarios (2041–2060). Despite high niche overlap (D = 0.635; I = 0.788), I. doka experienced severe habitat contraction, whereas I.

Protective Effects of Lactobacillus‐Derived Probiotics and Postbiotics on Renal and Reproductive Function in Escherichia coli–Infected Rats

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
A Lactobacillus‐derived probiotic and postbiotic mixture alleviates E. coli–induced renal and reproductive dysfunction by modulating oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and apoptosis, leading to improved tissue integrity and sperm quality. ABSTRACT Background Escherichia coli infections of the genitourinary tract are a major cause of renal and ...

VirD4 coupling proteins suppress accumulation of conjugative pili produced by type IV secretion systems

mBio
Conjugation machines constitute a large subfamily of the bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SSs). In the absence of recipient cell contact, conjugation machines of gram-negative bacteria produce conjugative pili by extracting pilin subunits from an ...

Lachnospiraceae in the Food–Gut Axis: A Critical Review of Dietary Modulation, Immune Regulation, and Translational Barriers

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The interplay between diet, gut microbiota, and host immunity is central to food science. The Lachnospiraceae family ferments dietary fibers to produce short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), notably butyrate and propionate, with immunomodulatory potential. This critical review distinguishes established findings from hypotheses.

Type IV Pili Can Mediate Bacterial Motility within Epithelial Cells

mBio, 2019
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among bacterial pathogens capable of twitching motility, a form of surface-associated movement dependent on type IV pili (T4P). Previously, we showed that T4P and twitching were required for P.

Beyond Bactericidal: Plasma Surface Engineering to Defeat Food Matrix‐Conditioning Layers

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The persistence of foodborne pathogens on industrial food contact surfaces continues to challenge global food safety despite advances in sanitation technologies. A central limitation of current antimicrobial strategies lies in their validation under simplified laboratory conditions that overlook the physicochemically driven formation of food ...

Chasing the perfida Albione: Anglo‐Italian productivity gap in the late 1930s

The Economic History Review, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1579-1607, November 2026.
Abstract This paper presents new estimates of Anglo‐Italian labour productivity levels in manufacturing in the late 1930s, derived using the standard single‐deflation approach. The findings confirm a substantial productivity gap between Italy and the United Kingdom at the aggregate level, alongside pronounced intersectoral heterogeneity.
