Kitasamycin for Swine Dysentery: Evidence and Limits
2026-09-05
This study combined susceptibility testing, 23S rRNA mutation analysis, and a controlled pig challenge to assess kitasamycin against Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. Kitasamycin prevented clinical swine dysentery in challenged pigs when the infecting isolate was susceptible, but widespread macrolide resistance limits broad field application.

How Cytoskeletal Forces Trigger Autophagy
2026-09-04
Liu et al. show that compression-induced autophagy depends primarily on cytoskeletal microfilaments, while microtubules provide an auxiliary contribution. By combining cytoskeletal polymerization perturbations with fluorescence imaging and immunoblotting, the study links cellular mechanics to autophagosome formation and defines a framework for testing mechanotransduction-dependent stress responses.
