Changes in potential pathogenicity-associated proteins of Helicobacter cinaedi upon infection of macrophage cells by A. K. Voronina, B. A. Efimov, B. A. Efimov, M. V. Malakhova, P. V. Shnaider, O. M. Ivanova, M. Bogomiakova, V. O. Shender, V. O. Shender, M. A. Lagarkova, G. P. Arapidi, G. P. Arapidi, G. P. Arapidi

“…Beyond known virulence factors (HcaA, Cdt, AhpC), we identified poorly characterized proteins with toxic or immunomodulatory functions. Notably, some upregulated proteins enable cholesterol utilization as a carbon source, while others may participate in a toxin injection mechanism disrupting host cell metabolism—potentially linked to foam cell formation.ConclusionOur findings provide new insights into H. cinaedi pathogenicity, highlighting previously unexplored virulence mechanisms. …”

Jacobian-Free Newton Krylov Methods for Steady and Transient Neutron Transport Models by ZHANG Yangyi, ZHANG Tiancheng, ZHOU Xiafeng

“…Numerical results also show that the parallel solver called comeSn_JFNK can achieve an acceleration of over 10 times for KAIST-3A benchmark problems and approximately 30 times for C5G7-TD2 cases compared to the original parallel comeSn code using the traditional source iteration/power iteration methods. These solutions indicate that the JFNK methods offer significant acceleration for solving both steady-state and transient SN neutron transport models compared to traditional source iteration/power iteration methods. …”
