Use of the oral microbiota as screening test to identify children at risk for caries development. A systematic review of longitudinal studies

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated trends in oral microbiota composition (index test) that could indicate potential candidates to identify children at risk for dental caries development compared with visual/tactile examination (reference test). MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, Lilacs, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases were searched up ...

Enhanced protopanaxadiol production from xylose by engineered Yarrowia lipolytica

Microbial Cell Factories, 2019
Background As renewable biomass, lignocellulose remains one of the major choices for most countries in tackling global energy shortage and environment pollution. Efficient utilization of xylose, an important monosaccharide in lignocellulose, is essential

Protein nanoparticles assemble in plants, display antigenic viral peptides, and produce an epitope‐specific immune response

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Current methods to control porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, a disease affecting pigs, are insufficient and a safer, more effective vaccine is needed. This study describes the design and plant production of a self‐assembling protein nanoparticle vaccine candidate against this disease.

Characterisation of a phylogenetically distinct PL25 family ulvan lyase from a seaweed biomass enriched metagenome

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ulvan is a polysaccharide available from green seaweed with beneficial properties for various applications. The full potential of ulvan requires enzymatic degradation of the polymer, thus producing ulvan oligosaccharides. This study expands the armoury of characterised ulvan lyases.

Engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae harbors xylose isomerase and xylose transporter improves co-fermentation of xylose and glucose for ethanol production

Preparative Biochemistry & Biotechnology
Saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot assimilate xylose, second to glucose derived from lignocellulosic biomass. Here, the engineered S. cerevisiae strains INVSc-XI and INVSc-XI/XT were constructed using xylA and Xltr1p to co-utilize xylose and glucose, achieving economic viability and sustainable production of fuels.

Engineering the bacterial nutrition strategy to control plant diseases

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This commentary on Wang et al. (2025) and Phan et al. (2025) highlights previously undiscovered Xanthomonas pathways for nutrition acquisition, explains how Xanthomonas bacteria hijack host molecular machinery through their effector proteins, and discusses how these studies can be used to develop new disease resistance mechanisms.

Age‐Dependent Increase in Small Intestinal Permeability and Sex‐Dependent Absorptive Capacity in Cats (Felis catus)

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Age‐associated changes in intestinal permeability and function have not been studied in domestic cats, leaving a key factor in the relationship between age and digestive health in cats unexplored. Due to factors not currently understood, mature and senior cats may experience a loss of fat and protein digestibility, along with a loss of body ...

Systemic, Lifestyle and Environmental Modifying Factors in the Pathogenesis of Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A variety of impacting factors in the pathogenesis of periodontitis exist, including systemic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. This review highlights the manifold mechanistic aspects of the link between the pathogenesis of periodontitis, addressing these numerous factors to supplement the long‐standing knowledge of the progression of the disease.
