Abstract Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease influenced by environmental factors. Except during relapses, baseline neurological status generally stable in the early stage, whereas progressive deterioration may occur silently. The form (secondary MS; SPMS) characterised both neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration differs significantly from non-progressive microbiome profiles1 2 3. After confirming increased abundance of gut bacterium “Tyzzerella nexilis” SPMS, role T.nexilis MS was studied. strain-level analysis based on long-read metagenomics identified a distinct cluster highly enriched SPMS. strains this novel were incredible number mobile genetic elements (MGEs) absence defence systems against MGEs. Mono-colonisation with MGEs-enriched strain made germ-free mice more susceptible to induction experimental encephalomyelitis. pathogenicity mediated TLR5 stimulation flagella encoded Moreover, thought have potentials causing neurodegeneration, because its ability produce reduced sulphur compounds Such horizontal gene transfer, functional diversity beyond existing bacterial taxonomy, causal implications chronic disorders microbiome.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is not only a well-established toxic gas but also an important small molecule bioregulator in all kingdoms of life. In contemporary biology, H2S often classified as "gasotransmitter," meaning that it endogenously produced membrane permeable carries out essential cellular processes. Fluorescent probes for and related reactive sulfur species (RSS) detection provide cornerstone investigating the multifaceted roles these molecules complex biological systems. A now common approach to develop such tools "activity-based probes" couple specific H2S-mediated chemical reaction fluorescent output. This Review covers different types highlights mechanisms by which each probe type activated RSS. Common examples include reduction oxidized nitrogen motifs, disulfide exchange, electrophilic reactions, metal precipitation, coordination. addition, we outline complementary activity-based imaging reductant-labile sulfane species, including persulfides polysulfides. For highlighted this Review, focus on systems with demonstrated compatibility or applications. Building from breadth reported strategies application, highlight key unmet challenges future opportunities advancing

Oxidative stress plays an essential role in neurodegenerative pathophysiology, acting as both a critical signaling mediator and driver of neuronal damage. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), versatile gasotransmitter, exhibits similarly “Janus-faced” nature, potent antioxidant cytoprotective molecule at physiological concentrations, but becoming detrimental when dysregulated. This review explores the dual roles oxidative H2S normal cellular physiology focusing on disease progression. We highlight potential therapeutic opportunities for targeting redox sulfur-based systems diseases by elucidating intricate balance between these opposing forces.

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has emerged as a pivotal gaseous transmitter in the central nervous system, influencing synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory by modulating various molecular pathways. This review examines recent evidence regarding how H2S regulates NMDA receptor function neurotransmitter release neuronal circuits.
