LPS-treated stem cells show reduced healing in stroke therapy choose
FAR Publishing LimitedA new study shows that treating mesenchymal stem cells with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) shifts their energy use toward glycolysis, reducing their healing potential in stroke therapy — offering insights into improving cell-based treatments for brain injuries.

Molecular structure determined for efflux pumps that confer tuberculosis bedaquiline resistance
University of Alabama at BirminghamThe protein MmpL5 is an efflux transporter, a critical pump that helps the pathogen M. tuberculosis grow by scavenging essential iron. Unfortunately, overexpressed MmpL5 can also pump out bedaquiline — the first new turberculosis drug in over 40 years — making the bacteria drug-resistant. Diabling the efflux transporter of M. tuberculosis with an inhibitor would strike a double blow — restore microbial sensitivity to antibiotic bedaquiline and break the cycle that gathers scarce iron. Researchers have now solved the structure of MmpL4, a close homolog of MmpL5 that has the same function.
