Tet3 is the main α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent dioxygenase in neurons that converts 5-methyl-dC into 5-hydroxymethyl-dC and further on to 5-formyl- and 5-carboxy-dC. Neurons possess high levels of 5-hydroxymethyl-dC that further increase during neural activity to establish transcriptional plast...
Ceftazidime (CAZ) is a critically important broad-spectrum antibiotic widely used in clinical practice. However, the rapid emergence of bacterial resistance to CAZ poses a significant challenge in treating infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens. In this study, we employed a metabolism...
Antibiotic-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major clinical challenge due to limited drug uptake. This study shows that exogenous glutamate restores gentamicin efficacy by reprogramming bacterial metabolism to enhance membrane permeability. The effect is mediated through increased biosynthesi...
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous infectious agent that causes significant morbidity in immunosuppressed hosts and is the most common cause of neonatal congenital deafness.An infection acquired during pregnancy can be vertically transmitted to the fetus and cause permanent sequelae in the new...
While accumulating evidence links maternal PM2.5 exposure to offspring neurodevelopmental impairments, yet the underlying biological pathways require further elucidation. To address this, female ICR mice are exposed to filtered air (FA) or concentrated ambient particulate matter (CAP) for three ...
