Mycobacterium neoaurum Bloodstream Infection Associated with a Totally Implanted Subclavian Port in an Adult with Diabetes and History of Colon Cancer by Jack E. Moseley Jr., Sharanjeet K. Thind

“…Bloodstream infections due to rapidly growing NTM, such as M. neoaurum, have been infrequently reported; however, improved isolation and identification techniques based on genomic testing are resulting in a more in-depth recognition of these widely scattered environmental microbes in human infections. Nonetheless, lengthy identification and susceptibility processes remain a diagnostic and treatment barrier. …”

Chronic Inflammation as a Link between Periodontitis and Carcinogenesis by Anilei Hoare, Cristopher Soto, Victoria Rojas-Celis, Denisse Bravo

“…Considering that periodontitis is a polymicrobial disease, it is likely that mixed species promote carcinogenesis both in the oral cavity and in extra oral tissues and probably—as observed in periodontitis—synergistic and/or antagonistic interactions occur between microbes in the community. To date, a good amount of studies has allowed us to understand how monospecies infections activate pathways involved in tumorigenesis; however, more studies are needed to determine the combined effect of oral species in carcinogenesis.…”

Advances in the Development and Application of Human Organoids: Techniques, Applications, and Future Perspectives by Zhangcheng Zhu, Yiwen Cheng, Xia Liu, Wenwen Ding, Jiaming Liu, Zongxin Ling, Lingbin Wu

“…This progress has expanded their application across several domains, including regenerative medicine, where organoids offer potential for tissue replacement and repair; disease modeling, which allows for the study of disease mechanisms and progression in a controlled environment; drug discovery and evaluation, where organoids provide a more accurate platform for testing drug efficacy and safety; and microecological research, where they contribute to understanding the interactions between microbes and host tissues. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the historical development of organoid technology, highlights the key achievements and ongoing challenges in the field, and discusses the current and emerging applications of organoids in both laboratory research and clinical practice.…”
