    Abstract Candida albicans is a commensal fungus that asymptomatically colonizes the skin and mucosa of 60% of healthy individuals. Breaches in the cutaneous and mucosal barriers trigger candidiasis that ranges from asymptomatic candidemia and mucosal infections to fulminant sepsis with 70% mortality rates. Fungi influence at least several diseases, in part by mechanisms such as the production of pro-carcinogenic agents, molecular mimicking, and triggering of the inflammation cascade. These processes impact the interactions among human pathogenic and resident fungi, the bacteriome in various organs/tissues, and the host immune system, dictating the outcomes of invasive infections, metabolic diseases, and cancer. Although mechanistic investigations are at stages of infancy, recent studies have advanced our understanding of host–fungal interactions, their role in immune homeostasis, and their associated pathologies. This review summarizes the role of C. albicans and other opportunistic fungi, specifically their association with various diseases, providing a glimpse at the recent developments and our current knowledge in the context of inflammatory-bowel disease (IBD), cancers, and COVID-19. Two of the most common human diseases where fungal interactions have been previously well-studied are cancer and IBD. Here we also discuss the emerging role of fungi in the ongoing and evolving pandemic of COVID-19, as it is relevant to current health affairs.

    Abstract Despite major advances in our understanding of players and mechanisms involved in peroxisome biogenesis and peroxisome degradation, very few studies have focused on unraveling the multi-layered connections between, and the coordination of, these two opposing processes that regulate peroxisome homeostasis. The intersection between these processes also provides exciting avenues for future research. This review highlights the links between peroxisome biogenesis and degradation, incorporating an integrative approach that is critical not only for a mechanistic understanding, but also for manipulating the balance between these processes in relevant disease models.

    Abstract Platelets are known for their indispensable role in hemostasis and thrombosis. However, alteration in platelet function due to oxidative stress is known to mediate various health complications, including cardiovascular diseases and other health complications. To date, several synthetic molecules have displayed antiplatelet activity; however, their uses are associated with bleeding and other adverse effects. The commercially available curcumin is generally a mixture of three curcuminoids: curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Although crude curcumin is known to inhibit platelet aggregation, the effect of purified curcumin on platelet apoptosis, activation, and aggregation remains unclear. Therefore, in this study, curcumin was purified from a crude curcumin mixture and the effects of this preparation on the oxidative stress-induced platelet apoptosis and activation was evaluated. 2,2'-Azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH) compound was used as an inducer of oxidative stress. Purified curcumin restored AAPH-induced platelet apoptotic markers like reactive oxygen species, intracellular calcium level, mitochondrial membrane potential, cardiolipin peroxidation, cytochrome c release from mitochondria to the cytosol, and phosphatidyl serine externalization. Further, it inhibited the agonist-induced platelet activation and aggregation, demonstrating its antiplatelet activity. Western blot analysis confirms protective effect of the purified curcumin against oxidative stress-induced platelet apoptosis and activation via downregulation of MAPKs protein activation, including ASK1, JNK, and p-38. Together, these results suggest that the purified curcumin could be a potential therapeutic bioactive molecule to treat the oxidative stress-induced platelet activation, apoptosis, and associated complications.

    Abstract Peroxisomes are conserved organelles of eukaryotic cells with important roles in cellular metabolism, human health, redox homeostasis, as well as intracellular metabolite transfer and signaling. We review here the current status of the different co-existing modes of biogenesis of peroxisomal membrane proteins demonstrating the fascinating adaptability in their targeting and sorting pathways. While earlier studies focused on peroxisomes as autonomous organelles, the necessity of the ER and potentially even mitochondria as sources of peroxisomal membrane proteins and lipids has come to light in recent years. Additionally, the intimate physical juxtaposition of peroxisomes with other organelles has transitioned from being viewed as random encounters to a growing appreciation of the expanding roles of such inter-organellar membrane contact sites in metabolic and regulatory functions. Peroxisomal quality control mechanisms have also come of age with a variety of mechanisms operating both during biogenesis and in the cellular response to environmental cues.
