The Fenton-chemistry-generating properties of copper ions are considered a potent phagolysosome defense against pathogenic microbes, yet our understanding underlying host/microbe dynamics remains unclear. We address this issue in invasive aspergillosis and demonstrate that host fungal responses inextricably connect reactive oxygen intermediate (ROI) mechanisms. Loss the copper-binding transcription factor AceA yields an Aspergillus fumigatus strain displaying increased sensitivity to ROI...

Abstract We inhale respiratory pathogens continuously, and the subsequent signaling events between host microbe are complex, ultimately resulting in clearance of microbe, stable colonization host, or active disease. Traditional vitro methods ill-equipped to study these critical context lung microenvironment. Here we introduce a microscale organotypic model human bronchiole for studying pulmonary infection. By leveraging techniques, is designed approximate structure bronchiole, containing...

Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) is linked with development or aggravation many degenerative processes disorders. Fruit vinegars are rich in polyphenols that can be a good dietary source AGEs inhibitors. In this study, eight kinds were prepared. Among them, the highest polyphenol and flavonoid content orange vinegar kiwi fruit vinegar, respectively. Ferulic acid, vanillic chlorogenic p-coumaric caffeic catechin, epicatechin main vinegars. Then, we measured inhibitory...

Abstract Filamentous fungi differentiate along complex developmental programs directed by abiotic and biotic signals. Currently, intrinsic signals that govern fungal development remain largely unknown. Here we show an endogenously produced secreted oxylipin, 5,8-diHODE, induces cellular differentiation, including lateral branching in pathogenic Aspergillus fumigatus flavus , appressorium formation the rice blast pathogen Magnaporthe grisea . The response is specific to a subset of oxylipins...

Invasive aspergillosis is a common opportunistic infection, causing >50% mortality in infected immunocompromised patients. The specific molecular mechanisms of the innate immune system that prevent pathogenesis invasive immunocompetent individuals are not fully understood. Here, we used zebrafish larva-Aspergillus infection model to identify cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme signaling as one mechanism promotes host survival. Larvae exposed pan-COX inhibitor indomethacin succumb at significantly...

Background Aspergillus fumigatus is a well-known opportunistic pathogen that causes range of diseases including the often-fatal disease, invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), in immunocompromised populations. The severity IPA dependent on both host- and pathogen-derived signaling molecules mediate host immunity fungal growth. Oxylipins are bioactive oxygenated fatty acids known to influence immune response developmental programs. synthesizes 8-HODE 5,8-diHODE have structural similarities...

Programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial digital computer that has been ruggedized and adapted for the control of manufacturing processes, such as automobile manufacture, or gas pipelines, power generation. Due to closed source vendor-specific proprietary firmware, it difficult develop a scalable high-interaction honeypot PLCs. In this paper, we present discuss new PLC framework based on physical devices. This aims solve problems existing honeypots while providing advantages...
