cGAS-like receptors drive a systemic STING-dependent host response in Drosophila.

Cell Rep

December 2024

Sino-French Hoffmann Institute, State Key Laboratory of Respiratory Disease, School of Basic Medical Science, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, China. Electronic address:

cGAS-like receptor (cGLR)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) recently emerged as an important pathway controlling viral infections in invertebrates. However, its exact contribution at the organismal level remains uncharacterized. Here, we use STING::GFP knockin reporter Drosophila flies to document activation of the pathway in vivo.

Insights into the assembly of the neovaginal microbiota in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome patients.

Nat Commun

September 2024

National Clinical Research Center for Obstetric and Gynecologic Diseases, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, State Key Laboratory for Complex Severe and Rare Diseases, Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, No. 1 Shuaifuyuan, 100005, Beijing, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - Neovaginas can be surgically created for women with MRKH syndrome or during gender-affirming surgery, and studying their microbiota is essential for effective management.
  • - A longitudinal study showed that the neovaginal microbiota initially had random characteristics with an increase in Enterococcus faecalis and Mycoplasmas, but evolved to resemble a normal vagina within 6-12 months after surgery.
  • - By 2-4 years post-surgery, the neovaginal microbiota aligned more closely with pre-surgery microbiota, particularly with the presence of Lactobacillus crispatus, indicating its association with vaginal health and opportunities for enhancing its colonization.

Article Synopsis
  • - Papillomaviruses (PVs) are a type of DNA virus linked to benign warts and potential cancer, with most focus on human types (HPVs) while knowledge of PVs in other species is limited.
  • - A new PV, named PtepPV1, was identified in a nasal swab from a wild red colobus monkey in Uganda, with a genome that shares significant similarity to a human HPV strain.
  • - PtepPV1 represents the first instance of a nonhuman primate PV found in the nasal cavity and offers insights into the diversity and characteristics of PVs beyond humans, including features associated with cancer risk.

A novel murine model mimicking male genital Neisseria species infection using Neisseria musculi†.

Biol Reprod

September 2024

Faculty of Health, School of Biomedical Science, Centre for Immunology and Infection Control, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Queensland 4006, Australia.

With ~78 million cases yearly, the sexually transmitted bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an urgent threat to global public health due to continued emergence of antimicrobial resistance. In the male reproductive tract, untreated infections may cause permanent damage, poor sperm quality, and subsequently subfertility. Currently, few animal models exist for N.

Background: Bioscaffolds and cells are two main components in the regeneration of damaged tissues via cell therapy. Umbilical cord stem cells are among the most well-known cell types for this purpose. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the pretreatment of the foreskin acellular matrix (FAM) by monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) and Lactobacillus casei supernatant (LCS) on the attraction of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSC).
