A bacteriophage cocktail can efficiently reduce five important Salmonella serotypes both on chicken skin and stainless steel
One of the most significant zoonotic infections, salmonella is primarily spread by eating food that comes from animals. One promising method for biocontrolling Salmonella on surfaces in contact with food is the use of bacteriophages.

Antimicrobial drug resistance in Salmonella: problems and perspectives in food- and water-borne infections
Antimicrobial drug-resistant strains of Salmonella spp. are becoming common in both industrialized and developing nations. It is now widely acknowledged in industrialized nations that the majority of these viruses are zoonotic, meaning they first develop resistance in their food-animal host…

Targeting hypoxia-inducible factors: therapeutic opportunities and challenges
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are highly conserved transcription factors that are crucial for adaptation of metazoans to limited oxygen availability. Recently, HIF activation and inhibition have emerged as therapeutic targets in various human diseases. Pharmacologically desirable effects of HIF activation include…

A global phase 3 study of serplulimab plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment for advanced squamous non-small-cell lung cancer (ASTRUM-004)
A recent study shows that First-line serplulimab plus chemotherapy improves PFS and OS and promises another treatment option for these patients. Their results demonstrate that adding serplulimab to chemotherapy significantly improves survival in advanced squamous NSCLC patients, with manageable safety.

Interferon-stimulated neutrophils as a predictor of immunotherapy response
Researchers indentified interferon-stimulated, Ly6Ehi neutrophils as a blood-borne biomarker of anti-PD1 response in mice at baseline. Ly6Ehi neutrophils are induced by tumor-intrinsic activation of the STING (stimulator of interferon genes) signaling pathway and possess the ability to directly sensitize otherwise…
