Published: May 2015

During colitis, gut bacteria and bacterial components can traverse the mucus layer and contact host cells. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Hickey et al. (2015) show that sulfatases of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron are required for its outer membrane vesicles to transit to underlying host immune cells and cause colitis.

Introduction: Adolescents face unique challenges in accessing appropriate information and services regarding sexuality and reproductive health (SRH). This poor access can lead to sexual behaviours that could put them at risk of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) have specific SRH needs that remain unmet.

Context: Entropies are fundamental contributions to Gibbs energies that carry important chemical information, in particular when investigating reaction mechanisms. However, evaluating them in solution is far from being straightforward. In this paper, we focus on its evaluation within the framework of implicit solvation models.

Importance: Cancer and its care impose significant time commitments on patients and care partners. The oncology community has only recently conceptualized these commitments and the associated burden as the "time toxicity" of cancer care. As the concept gains traction, there is a critical need to fundamentally understand the perspectives of multiple stakeholders on the time burdens of cancer care.

Article Synopsis
  • - The electrochemical CO reduction reaction (eCORR) converts CO into valuable fuels and chemicals but struggles with real-world industrial exhausts due to impurities like NO and SO, affecting efficiency and selectivity.
  • - Current methods for CO reduction often ignore these impurities, which can significantly impair the conversion process, making it less effective for treating industrial flue gases.
  • - The text advocates for innovative approaches in material chemistry and electrochemistry, specifically co-electroreduction, to utilize these impurities positively and improve the overall efficiency of reducing harmful emissions from industries.
