Mounting an #immune response is energetically costly, and so host defenses are often influenced by internal metabolic states. This study identifies a gut-brain signaling mechanism in C. elegans, shaping pathogen avoidance and molecular immune responses. 🧪 #AcademicSky #hostPathogen plos.io/3T9f6bi

Conceptual diagram for how NHR-68 integrates lipid metabolism with behavioral and molecular immunity.
NHR-68 acts in the intestine to regulate linoleic acid homeostasis through control of fat-3 expression. Changes in intestinal lipid metabolism influence an AWC-dependent pathogen-avoidance circuit through currently unidentified intestine-to-neuron signaling mechanisms, enhancing survival during P. aeruginosa infection. In parallel, NHR-68 suppresses PMK-1/p38 MAPK and DAF-16/FOXO immune pathways, coordinating behavioral and molecular defenses to optimize host protection. Created in BioRender. Sang, Y. (2026).

Fungal biofilm formation has long been considered an important virulence trait. Shannon Esher Righi explores a new @PLOSBiology.org study challenging this idea in Candida parapsilosis outbreak isolates. 🧪 #AcademicSky #microbiology #fungi Article plos.io/4dh0tJx Primer plos.io/4hto2QF

Conceptual diagram for the trade-off between biofilm production and in vivo persistence.
Biofilm production facilitates colonization of commensal organisms, promotes adherence, and confers intrinsic antifungal resistance. Biofilm-producing strains are under tight transcriptional control and expose β-glucan. This leads to increased phagocytosis and killing by macrophages, and extracellular NET production by neutrophils. By contrast, Daneshnia and colleagues, show that low biofilm-producing strains undergo transcriptional reprogramming to allow for metabolic flexibility. They mask their β-glucan to facilitate immune avoidance, leading to decreased phagocytosis by macrophages. However, when phagocytosed, low biofilm-producing strains are more fit for growth and survival within immune cell-rich niches of the host, leading to enhanced macrophage activation and neutrophil swarming. Together these features allow low biofilm-producing C. parapsilosis strains to survive and persist within the in vivo host environment.

🚨 one in eight cancer cases worldwide may be caused by infections Millions of cancers are preventable, says Gary Clifford, the study’s senior author. “These are very actionable risk factors. We can test for them. We can vaccinate against them.” www.scientificamerican.com/article/one-... #medsky

An estimated one in eight cancer cases worldwide may be caused by infections—many of which are preventable with treatment or vaccines, according to new research.

In a study published on Monday in the Lancet Oncology, researchers estimate that infections were responsible for approximately 2.3 million cancer cases, or about 12 percent of diagnoses, worldwide in 2024.

Helicobacter pylori bacteria and human papillomavirus (HPV) combined accounted for more than an estimated 1.5 million cancer cases, the analysis found. An estimated 360,000 cancer cases were linked to hepatitis B infections, and 260,000 cases were caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.

Graphic shows a series of pie charts, each representing one type of cancer, scaled according to how many new cases of that cancer were diagnosed in 2024. Colored areas of the pie charts indicate how many of those cases were associated with infections, with each infection shown in a different color.
