Purpose: Mitoxantrone (MTX) is largely restricted in clinical usage due to its significant cardiotoxicity. Multiple studies have shown that an imbalance in the gut-heart axis plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aim to explore the possible correlations between gut microbiota (GM) compositions and cardiometabolic (CM) disorder in MTX-triggered cardiotoxicity mice.

Purpose Of Review: We aim to describe the immunoassays that have been used for myositis autoantibody discovery with a focus on newer methods. We describe recently identified myositis autoantibodies that do not yet form part of routine clinical testing, highlighting what is known about their associated clinical phenotype and potential clues as to their presence.
Recent Findings: Novel approaches to autoantibody detection have been employed in recent years including chemiluminescent immunoassay, phage immunoprecipitation-sequencing and modifications to the more traditional immunoprecipitation technique.

causes amebiasis, a significant global health issue, with millions affected annually, especially in developing countries. EhDUF2419, an important protein involved in 's queuine salvage pathway and its interaction network, remains unclear. To explore this, we transfected trophozoites with a plasmid encoding Myc-tagged EhDUF2419 and achieved successful overexpression.

Toxins of toxin-antitoxin systems use diverse mechanisms to inhibit bacterial growth. In this study, we characterize the translation inhibitor toxin MenT3 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for tuberculosis in humans. We show that MenT3 is a robust cytidine specific tRNA nucleotidyltransferase in vitro, capable of modifying the aminoacyl acceptor ends of most tRNA but with a marked preference for tRNA, to which long stretches of cytidines are added.

In the canonical genetic code, the 61 sense codons are assigned to the 20 proteinogenic amino acids. Advancements in genetic code manipulation techniques have enabled the ribosomal incorporation of nonproteinogenic amino acids (npAAs). The critical molecule for translating messenger RNA (mRNA) into peptide sequences is aminoacyl-transfer RNA (tRNA), which recognizes the mRNA codon through its anticodon.
