Although proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF are critical for containment of tuberculosis, they can also exacerbate disease when produced at high levels. In this issue of Cell, Roca and Ramakrishnan demonstrate that high TNF production induces reactive oxygen species in infected macrophages, ultimately leading to macrophage necrosis and bacterial dissemination.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the importance of lipid metabolism indicators in predicting outcomes for locally advanced breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
- Researchers utilized a random forest algorithm to identify key lipid factors and integrated them into the existing Neo-Bioscore model to enhance prognostic accuracy.
- Findings indicated that higher levels of total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and body mass index (BMI) during treatment were associated with poorer survival rates, suggesting improved stratification for patient outcomes when these factors were included.
Host specific endophytic microbiome diversity and associated functions in three varieties of scented black rice are dependent on growth stage.

The compositional and functional role of the endophytic bacterial community, associated with black scented rice, in correlation with its antioxidant property has been elucidated. Community dissimilarity analysis confirmed the overlapping of community in shoot and root tissues at the young stage, but not in mature plants. Proteobacteria was the most abundant phylum, in which Agrobacterium, Pleomorphomonas, Bradyrhizobium, Novasphingobium, Caulobacter were the most abundant genera, followed by Cyanobacteria and Planctomycetes in all three different varieties of the black rice.

The emergence of new pathogens is a major threat to public and veterinary health. Changes in bacterial habitat such as a switch in host or disease tropism are typically accompanied by genetic diversification. Staphylococcus aureus is a multi-host bacterial species associated with human and livestock infections.
