This study identifies miropin, a prokaryotic serpin from Tannerella forsythia, which suppresses neutrophil antimicrobial activity by inhibiting serine proteases and myeloperoxidase, promoting bacterial survival in vivo.

This study identifies altered neurobiological protein profiles and hippocampal neuroinflammation in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis, with HMOX2 as a biomarker and IL-6/IL-18 as key drivers.

This study shows that Tannerella forsythia's miropin inhibits Porphyromonas gingivalis proteases, reducing its virulence and challenging Tf's role as a pathogen.
