Protein trafficking to vacuoles in plants and fungi, and to lysosomes in animals, is essential for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the vacuolar protein sorting (VPS) pathway has been well studied by using vacuolar carboxypeptidase Y (CPY) as a model, and many VPS genes have been identified. By contrast, the vacuolar protein trafficking pathway in Schizosaccharomyces pombe remains poorly understood.

It is potentially beneficial for patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We present a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PBM.

- This study examined the genetic and clinical data of nasal swabs from ICU patients at Hiroshima University Hospital to assess the impact of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) and methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) staph infections.
- The nasal carriage rates were found to be 7.0% for MRSA and 20.1% for MSSA, with a specific focus on strains belonging to clonal complex 8 that are linked to complex infections like pneumonia and skin abscesses.
- The findings suggest that nasal colonization by MRSA may indicate a higher risk of developing serious infections, thus highlighting the importance of monitoring bacterial strains in ICU settings.
