Memory Cells in Infection and Autoimmunity: Mechanisms, Functions, and Therapeutic Implications by Shilpi Giri, Lalit Batra

“…Here, we review the roles of memory T and B cells in infection and autoimmunity, focusing on their differentiation, activation, effector functions, and underlying regulatory mechanisms. We elaborate on the precise mechanisms by which memory cells contribute to autoimmune diseases, highlighting insights from current research on how pathogenic memory responses are formed and sustained in autoimmunity. …”

Antibacterial microcins are ubiquitous and functionally diverse across bacterial communities by Jennifer K. Parker, Aaron L. Feller, Richard Gu, Simon Sanchez-Paiva, Bethany C. Perez, Angela C. O’Donnell, Wendi Deng, Rita M. Ousterhout, Sun-Young Kim, Claus O. Wilke, Bryan W. Davies

“…Here, we show that what appeared to be a limited, niche class of Gram-negative bacteriocins, called class II microcins, is in fact a highly abundant, sequence- and function-diverse class of secreted bacteriocins. Based on systematic investigations in the Enterobacteriaceae and gut microbiomes, we demonstrate that class II microcins encompass diverse sequence space, bacterial strains of origin, spectra of activity, and mechanisms of action. …”

Sustainable Innovations in Food Microbiology: Fermentation, Biocontrol, and Functional Foods by Amanda Priscila Silva Nascimento, Ana Novo Barros

“…The analysis is structured around three main axes: (i) microbial fermentation, with a focus on traditional practices and precision technologies aimed at valorizing agro-industrial waste and producing functional foods; (ii) microbial biocontrol, including the use of bacteriocins, protective cultures, bacteriophages, and CRISPR-Cas (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats–CRISPR-associated)-based tools as alternatives to synthetic preservatives; and (iii) the development of functional foods containing probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and postbiotics, with the potential to modulate the gut microbiota and promote metabolic, immune, and cognitive health. …”
