Pathogenic Rickettsia species evade autophagosomal maturation and reduce anti-microbicidal pro-inflammatory IL-1 responses to support their intracellular survival.

This study identifies a mechanism by which pathogenic Rickettsia species evade autophagosomal maturation and reduce IL-1 responses to survive in macrophages.

Expression Analysis, Molecular Characterization and Prognostic Evaluation on TMED4 and TMED9 Gene Expression in Glioma

This study evaluates TMED4 and TMED9 gene expression in glioma using database mining, finding their overexpression correlates with poor prognosis and immune infiltration, suggesting therapeutic potential.

Rickettsia typhi peptidoglycan mapping with data-dependent tandem mass spectrometry

This study maps the peptidoglycan structure of Rickettsia typhi using mass spectrometry, revealing muropeptide subunits with elongated alanine residues, similar to other Gram-negative bacteria.

Metagenomic analysis reveals the abundance and diversity of opportunistic fungal pathogens in the nasopharyngeal tract of COVID-19 patients

This study uses metagenomic analysis to show that SARS-CoV-2 infection increases opportunistic fungal pathogens in the nasopharyngeal tract while reducing commensal fungi.

Pathogenic, but not non-pathogenic, Rickettsia evade inflammasome-dependent IL-1 responses to establish an intracytosolic replication niche.

This study shows pathogenic Rickettsia species evade IL-1 responses via Caspase-11-Gsdmd pathway to replicate intracellularly, unlike non-pathogenic Rickettsia.

Microbiome dysbiosis regulates the level of energy production under anaerobic condition

This study examines microbiome dysbiosis in anaerobic digesters, finding that specific bacterial and archaeal strains correlate with higher energy production.

Angiotensin II disrupts the cytoskeletal architecture of human urine-derived podocytes and results in activation of the renin-angiotensin system

This study shows that angiotensin II disrupts podocyte cytoskeletal architecture and activates the renin-angiotensin system in urine-derived podocytes.
