A Lung‐Immune Dual‐Humanized Mouse Using Cryopreserved Tissue Enables Infection and Immune Profiling of Human Common Cold Coronaviruses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cryopreserved lung‐humanized mice overcome the dependency to fresh tissues and permit head‐to‐head profiling of all four human common cold coronaviruses versus SARS‐CoV‐2 infection; the model validates Paxlovid efficacy against HKU1 and, when coupled with human immune‐system engraftment, enables interrogation of lung‐resident human immunity and HKU1 ...

NcROP2 deletion reduces Neospora caninum virulence by altering parasite stage differentiation and hijacking host immune response

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionNeospora caninum is an apicomplexan parasite responsible for bovine neosporosis, a major cause of abortion in cattle worldwide. N. caninum rhoptry protein 2 (NcROP2) has been identified as an essential factor in host cell invasion and ...

Dipiperazine‐Phenyl Derivatives Based on Convergent Molecular Platforms Can Reverse Multidrug Resistance in Gram‐Negative Bacteria by Inhibiting Efflux and Permeabilizing Cell Membranes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By integrating a convergent molecular platform strategy, this study designed a novel dual‐target C5 to combat multidrug‐resistant Gram‐negative bacteria. C5 synergistically enhances antibiotic efficacy by inhibiting efflux pumps and increasing bacterial membrane permeability.

Pathogenesis of Important Virulence Factors of Porphyromonas gingivalis via Toll-Like Receptors

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019
Periodontitis is a common intraoral infection and is inextricably linked to systemic diseases. Recently, the regulation between host immunologic response and periodontal pathogens has become a hotspot to explain the mechanism of periodontitis and related
