Decoding Mycoplasma Nucleases: Biological Functions and Pathogenesis by Xinchao Yi, Ying Huang, Xinru Li, Hao Xu, Chang Liu, Chao Li, Qianrui Zeng, Haodang Luo, Zufeng Ye, Jun He, Xiaoxing You

“…The pathogenesis includes, but is not limited to, degradation of host DNA and RNA, leading to disruptions of nucleic acid metabolism and the induction of host cell apoptosis; degradation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), allowing escape from neutrophil-mediated killing; and upregulation of inflammatory molecules to modulate the immune response of the host. Understanding the biological functions of nucleases is essential for gaining deeper insights into the virulence and immune evasion strategies of mycoplasmas, which can inform the development of novel approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of mycoplasma infections.…”

Mitochondrial function is impaired in long COVID patients by Jane Macnaughtan, Kai-Yin Chau, Ewen Brennan, Marco Toffoli, Antonella Spinazzola, Toby Hillman, Melissa Heightman, Anthony Henry Vernon Schapira

“…Seahorse-based mitochondrial flux analysis and bioenergetics profile of isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was performed and correlated with clinical phenotype.Findings Long COVID cases had an increased baseline and ATP-induced oxygen consumption rate with a significant attenuation in tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester perchlorate fluorescence response to oligomycin. Correlations were observed between mitochondrial function and autonomic health, quality of life and time from index infection. …”

Existence and Uniqueness of Globally Attractive Positive Almost Periodic Solution in a Predator-Prey Dynamic System with Beddington-DeAngelis Functional Response by Wenquan Wu

“…This paper is concerned with a predator-prey system with Beddington-DeAngelis functional response on time scales. By using the theory of exponential dichotomy on time scales and fixed point theory based on monotone operator, some simple conditions are obtained for the existence of at least one positive (almost) periodic solution of the above system. …”
