Abstract Background The complex relationship between the gut microbiome and immune system development during infancy is considered a key factor in the rising rates of pediatric allergic diseases. Food protein-induced all...

The rhizosphere is one of the most dynamic biological environments on Earth. Within this narrow zone surrounding plant roots, plants interact constantly with diverse communities of microorganisms including bacteria, fung...

Abstract Background After resection surgery, recurrence occurs in more than 30% of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Previous studies have highlighted the role of the gut microbiota in CRC initiation and progression; how...

ABSTRACT Tannins represent one of the most abundant polyphenolic compounds in plants. Tannins exist as a multitude of chemically unique entities in nature. The most commonly occurring tannins are typically divided into t...

IntroductionHypogammaglobinemia in pregnancy can be an expected physiological change, resulting from hemodilution and active transfer of immunoglobulins to the fetus via the placenta. However, pregnancy can also reveal p...

BackgroundStreptococcus canis is an emerging zoonotic pathogen capable of causing infective endocarditis (IE) in animals and humans. In IE, bacterial biofilms form vegetations on heart valves, protecting microbes from a...

Nipah virus (NiV) is an emergent paramyxovirus that causes serious disease in humans and animals. Accurate quantification of neutralizing antibodies (nAB) against NiV is essential for vaccine development. The current sta...

The Developmental Origins of Health and Disease theory describes early life as a critical window for long-term metabolic health. Accumulating evidence has identified the gut microbiota as a key mediator of early-life met...

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases worldwide. However, few molecules related to bacterial killing within T cell-induced macrophages are known; therefore, elucidating host responses against...

Lassa fever is a zoonotic disease endemic to several West African countries, with seasonal outbreaks and potential to cause future epidemics. Vaccines and other medical countermeasures are in development, requiring relia...

The gut microbiota plays a central role in modulating both immunity and metabolism. Obesity-associated microbiota configuration is a critical driver of persistent inflammatory activation and immune dysfunction, ultimatel...

Background & aims Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use has been associated with metabolic dysfunction associated with steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in multiple studies. While the association is confounded by various risk fa...

Microbial siderophores are low-molecular-weight compounds with a strong affinity for ferric (FSe3+) ions. They play a pivotal role in plant-microbial interactions by enhancing iron bioavailability to plants, primarily th...

Mitochondria are vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, mitochondrial damage is evident in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the persistence of viral replicat...

Mixed infection refers to the presence of multiple Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains within one host, while heteroresistance denotes the coexistence of drug-susceptible and drug-resistant strains or genotypes. Mixed inf...

Recent studies have shown that the presence of an RNA modification, N6-methyladenosine (m6A), in viral RNAs during infection significantly impacts the outcome of viral replication and pathogenesis. In particular, various...

Las especias son utilizadas en los alimentos desde hace cientos de años. En la actualidad, sus aceites esenciales y oleorresinas se utilizan no solo como saborizantes y aromatizantes sino también como conservantes d...

Soil microbes are the driving force behind soil nutrient cycling, yet the role of their composition and function in controlling forest nutrient cycling is poorly understood and rarely used to predict rates of biogeochemi...
