ABSTRACT Yersinia pestis is the etiologic agent of plague. A hallmark plague subversion host immune response by disrupting signalling pathways required for inflammation. This non‐inflammatory environment permits bacterial colonization and has been shown to be essential disease manifestation. Previous work that Y. inhibits phagocytosis degranulation neutrophils. Manipulation these key vesicular trafficking suggests influences extracellular vesicle (EV) secretion, cargo selection, and/or maturation. Our goals were define EV population produced neutrophils in determine how vesicles might influence Towards goals, EVs isolated from human infected with or a mutant lacking effector proteins known manipulate cell signalling. Mass spectrometry data revealed cargoes packaged cells enriched antimicrobial cytotoxic proteins, contents which differed uninfected cells. Further, lacked inflammatory properties observed those responding mutant. Together, demonstrate actively production neutrophils, likely contributing evasion.

ABSTRACT Background The recent consensus statement redefined steatotic liver diseases. Metabolic dysfunction‐associated disease (MASLD) and metabolic dysfunction alcohol‐related (MetALD) now represent distinct entities. However, biomarkers that differentiate MASLD MetALD remain largely unknown. Aims To identify lipidomic with discriminatory potential for distinguishing from MASLD. Methods Using the UK Biobank dataset, 40,534 people available MRI scans were analysed. A total of, 11,217 cases a proton density fat fraction (PDFF) ≥ 5% identified as having disease. Among these, profiles obtained 5539 462 cases. 250 plasma metabolomic parameters Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis was used to confirm association between alcohol consumption biomarkers. Results When comparing top 30 differentially expressed predicting compared MASLD, majority related HDL significantly overrepresented at both analysed time points. five metabolites were: acetoacetate, 3‐hydroxybutyrate, phospholipids in Large HDL, concentration of large particles, free cholesterol HDL. sensitivity revealed similar associations, suggesting signature is stable over time. Additionally, MR further confirmed associated increased levels HDL‐related metabolites. Conclusion Our findings indicate HDL‐centric markers, particularly those within larger medium subfraction, may Further longitudinal experimental studies are warranted validate these assess their clinical implications.

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is a deadly subtype of cancer (OC), often diagnosed at late stages due to nonspecific symptoms and lack effective markers for early detection. Aberrant protein N-linked glycosylation has been reported in HGSOC, holding potential improving the diagnosis prognosis affected patients. Building on our recent observation documenting that HGSOC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) exhibit aberrant expression patterns, we here explore N-glycosylation displayed by EVs isolated from HGSOC cell lines patient ascites relative those matching controls unveil candidate HGSOC.

In particular, represents first component a nanomaterial interfacing structures, dictating nanoparticle internalization, immune response, bioavailability, even toxicity.

ABSTRACT Plant viruses pose a significant threat to global agriculture, leading substantial crop losses that jeopardise food security and disrupt ecosystem stability. These viral infections often reprogramme plant metabolism, compromising key pathways critical for growth defence. For instance, by cucumber mosaic virus alter amino acid secondary metabolite biosynthesis, including flavonoid phenylpropanoid pathways, thereby weakening defences. Similarly, tomato bushy stunt disrupts lipid metabolism altering the synthesis accumulation of sterols phospholipids, which are essential replication compromise membrane integrity. Recent advancements in gene‐editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9, metabolomics offer innovative strategies mitigate these impacts. Precise genetic modifications can restore or optimise disrupted metabolic enhancing resilience infections. Metabolomics further aids identifying biomarkers linked resistance, guiding breeding programmes aimed at developing virus‐resistant plants. By reducing susceptibility crops infections, approaches hold potential reduce dependence on chemical pesticides, increase yields promote sustainable agricultural practices. Future research should focus expanding our understanding virus–host interactions molecular level while exploring long‐term ecological impacts Interdisciplinary integrating multi‐omics technologies management will be addressing challenges posed ensuring
