How the gut microbiome supports iron uptake by intestinal regulatory T-cells

Research paper discusses the relationship between iron deficiencies and immune tolerance in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. The study shows that high cellular iron levels fostered by pentanoate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by intestinal microbiota, are necessary for the homeostasis of regulatory T cells in the intestine, and iron deficiencies in Treg can result in lethal autoimmune disease.

Reviving a forgotten antibiotic: Old drug shows new promise against superbugs

Research discusses the activity spectrum of nourseothricin and its components, S-F and S-D, against drug-resistant, gram-negative pathogens. S-F showed promising activity against NDM-1-expressing Klebsiella pneumoniae Nevada strain with minimal toxicity, and it probes the A-decoding site potentially accounting for its miscoding activity.
