Phage Therapy as a Promising Approach for Tuberculosis Treatment: A Comprehensive Study
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of Tuberculosis (TB), is a global health concern with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Traditional antibiotics are increasingly ineffective against multidrug-resistant TB. In this context, alternative therapies are urgently needed.
Uncovering the intracellular target of candidalysin
Candidalysin, a cytolytic peptide toxin secreted by the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, is critical for fungal pathogenesis. Yet, its intracellular targets have not been extensively mapped.
Unraveling the Sugary Code: N-Glycosylation's Impact on Protein Conformation and its Link to Disease
In the intricate dance of cellular processes, a seemingly modest tweak known as N-glycosylation takes center stage. This post-translational modification endows proteins with a sophisticated sugar code, dictating their conformation, assembly, and, crucially, their roles in various diseases.
