Infection Risk From Humans and Animals in the Anatomy Laboratory: A Scoping Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Whole‐body dissection is a cornerstone of anatomy education. During and following the COVID‐19 pandemic, exposure to infectious agents and other risks of dissection were highlighted. To identify potential risks, one must have the data outlining these risks in specific situations.

Two fatal cases of plague after consumption of raw marmot organs

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2020
Marmots are an important reservoir of Yersinia pestis and a source of human plague in Mongolia. We present two fatal cases of plague after consumption of raw marmot organs and discuss the distribution of natural foci of Y. pestis in Mongolia.

Catalytic Amyloids: Turning Fibrils Into Biocatalysts

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Amyloids, traditionally associated with diseases, have emerged as versatile catalytic scaffolds. From natural amyloid sequences to bioinspired and de novo designs, we highlight strategies to construct catalytic active sites and anchor enzymes onto fibrils, creating versatile nanomaterials with tunable activities. ABSTRACT Amyloids have been regarded as

Yersinia pestis Targets the Host Endosome Recycling Pathway during the Biogenesis of the Yersinia-Containing Vacuole To Avoid Killing by Macrophages

mBio, 2018
Yersinia pestis has evolved many strategies to evade the innate immune system. One of these strategies is the ability to survive within macrophages. Upon phagocytosis, Y.

Obtaining Specific Sequence Tags for Yersinia pestis and Visually Detecting Them Using the CRISPR-Cas12a System

Pathogens, 2021
Three worldwide historical plague pandemics resulted in millions of deaths. Yersinia pestis, the etiologic agent of plague, is also a potential bioterrorist weapon. Simple, rapid, and specific detection of Y.

The Curious Case of CysE: Diversity and Distribution of Serine Acetyltransferases in Bacteria

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Serine acetyltransferase (CysE) is a member of the left‐handed β‐helix family of acetyltransferases that catalyze the rate limiting step in de novo cysteine biosynthesis. There are two isoforms of CysE that differ in length, with the shorter isoform lacking approximately 76 amino acids at the N‐terminus of the protein from the serine ...

Molecular Dynamics Analysis of Inhibitor Binding Interactions in the Vibrio cholerae Respiratory Complex NQR

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 2, Page 649-659, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The sodium‐pumping ubiquinone oxidoreductase sodium pumping quinone reductase (NQR) is an important enzyme in the respiratory chain of multiple pathogenic gram‐negative bacteria. NQR has been proposed as a viable antibiotic target due to its importance in supporting energy‐consuming reactions and its absence in human cells.

Development of Metagenomic Methods for Health Monitoring of Endangered Species Using Fecal Samples

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Metagenomic analysis of fecal samples is emerging as a powerful tool for monitoring endangered species, particularly in assessing the burden of pathogens and parasites that can threaten population viability. However, accurate identification in non‐model species remains challenging due to the frequent absence of host‐specific pathogen reference

Yersinia pestis Lineages in Mongolia

PLoS ONE, 2012
Whole genome sequencing allowed the development of a number of high resolution sequence based typing tools for Yersinia (Y.) pestis. The application of these methods on isolates from most known foci worldwide and in particular from China and the Former Soviet Union has dramatically improved our understanding of the population structure of this species.
