New in @microbialcell.bsky.social: comprehensive review on the gut-joint axis in ankylosing spondylitis. Dysbiosis, IL-23/17 pathway, HLA-B27 misfolding, leaky gut, microbial mimicry - potential targets for future microbiota-based therapies. Must-read for scientists and patients! Link below

Disruption of sit1 alters germination, slows growth, reduces virulence, and triggers compensatory iron-uptake genes (FRE, FET4, FET3), revealing intertwined iron-acquisition pathways in mucormycosis. Important insights for antifungal strategies.

"Role of the putative sit1 gene in normal germination of spores and virulence of the Mucor lusitanicus" by Vágó et al. explores how sit1, a siderophore transporter, is crucial for proper spore germination and full virulence in Mucor lusitanicus.

The study links specific microbial genera - like Luteibacter & Chryseobacterium - to survival risk and introduces an IMTMEindex that more accurately predicts 1-, 3- & 5-year overall survival.

Potential new tool for prognosis & guiding immunotherapy.
