The Janus-Face of Bacteriophages across Human Body Habitats

One hundred years after their discovery [1,2], the interest towards the therapeutic use of bacteriophages (briefly: phages) has resurged due to the escalating rise of multi-drug–resistant bacteria [3,4]. However, besides regulatory hurdles, realization of this treatment concept is hampered by efficiency and safety concerns [5]. Conversely, metagenome studies have shown that phages are consisten...

The other face of Janus.

In this issue, M.H.Hazbón (1) reviews recent advances in molecular methods for early diagnosis of tuberculosis and drug-resistant tuberculosis. This article has much in common with other “state of the art” reviews that have been appearing in the world’s literature on molecular tuberculosis (TB) diagnostics for some time now. Most of these reviews are well written, factual accounts of advances i...

The Janus face of cyclophosphamide

Cyclophosphamide, within well-defined therapeutic regimens, increases the antineoplastic effects of immunotherapy. We have recently identified multiple factors and mechanisms that underlie the paradoxical synergy between these two treatment modalities. In particular, we found that cyclophosphamide stimulates anticancer immune responses upon the perception by the immune system of inflammatory da...
