A novel age-informative polygenic score improves predictive ability for kidney function and kidney function decline

Janina M. Herold, Simon Wiegrebe, Barbara Thorand, Thomas W. Winkler, C Gieger, Florian Hartig, M. Behr, Annette Peters, Helmut Küchenhoff, Iris M. Heid

The paper develops an age-informative polygenic score for kidney function and shows it improves prediction of eGFR and decline compared to an age-agnostic score.

Loss of allosteric regulation in α-isopropylmalate synthase identified as an antimicrobial resistance mechanism

J. R. Sullivan, C. Courtine, L. Taylor, O. Solomon, M. Behr

This paper identifies a mutation in α-isopropylmalate synthase that enables Mycobacterium abscessus to resist norvaline and epetraborole by upregulating leucine biosynthesis.

The antimicrobial activity of the macrophage metabolite itaconate is synergistic with acidity.

D. Duncan, A. Lupien, M. Behr, K. Auclair

This study shows itaconate's antimicrobial activity synergizes with acidity, suggesting it may function in acidic environments like phagolysosomes and highlights potential therapeutic strategies.
