Identification of volatile metabolites produced from levodopa metabolism by different bacteria strains of the gut microbiome
Interspecies pathways in the gut microbiome have been shown to metabolize levodopa, the primary treatment for Parkinson’s disease, and reduce its...

Gastrointestinal parasites of Wolffsohn’s viscacha (Chinchillidae: Lagidium wolffsohni), an endemic rodent species from the wild Patagonia
Parasites are ubiquitous in wildlife populations and have a profound impact on population dynamics. Interest in parasites of wildlife has increased...

The eEF2 kinase coordinates the DNA damage response to cisplatin by supporting p53 activation
Eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) kinase (eEF2K) is a stress-responsive hub that inhibits the translation elongation factor eEF2, and...

Biochemical characterisation and production kinetics of high molecular-weight (HMW) putative antibacterial proteins of insect pathogenic Brevibacillus laterosporus isolates
BackgroundBacterial genomes often encode structures similar to phage capsids (encapsulins) and phage tails which can be induced spontaneously or...

Malaria prevalence and transmission in the Zakpota sub-district of central Benin: baseline characteristics for a community randomised trial of a new insecticide for indoor residual spraying
BackgroundMalaria transmission is known to be perennial and heterogeneous in Benin. Studies assessing local malaria prevalence, transmission levels...

IL-4/IL-4R axis signaling drives resistance to immunotherapy by inducing the upregulation of Fcγ receptor IIB in M2 macrophages
In recent years, immunotherapy, particularly PD-1 antibodies, have significantly enhanced the outcome of gastric cancer patients. Despite these...

The ubiquitin-like protein UBTD1 promotes colorectal cancer progression by stabilizing c-Myc to upregulate glycolysis
Dysfunction of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) is involved in the pathogenesis of various malignancies including colorectal cancer (CRC)....

Multimodal training protocols on unstable rather than stable surfaces better improve dynamic balance ability in older adults
BackgroundThere has been growing interest in using unstable devices in training protocols. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of two...

Specific CD4+ T cell phenotypes associate with bacterial control in people who ‘resist’ infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis
A subset of individuals exposed to Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ) that we refer to as ‘resisters’ (RSTR) show evidence of IFN-γ − T cell responses...

A dynamic subpopulation of CRISPR–Cas overexpressers allows Streptococcus pyogenes to rapidly respond to phage
Many CRISPR–Cas (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and CRISPR-associated protein) systems, which provide bacteria with...

Nuclear alpha-synuclein accelerates cell senescence and neurodegeneration
BackgroundThe progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is related to ageing. The accumulation of nuclear alpha-synuclein (α-syn) may accelerate the...
