Keeping FIT: Iron-mediated post-transcriptional regulation in Toxoplasma gondii

The paper identifies iron-mediated post-transcriptional regulation in Toxoplasma gondii by showing that a stem-loop structure in the 3' UTR of a gene stabilizes its transcript and protein under low iron conditions.

Primary lung fibroblasts respond to IL-33, IL-13, and IL-17A by secreting factors that activate macrophages

This study shows that lung fibroblasts exposed to IL-33, IL-13, and IL-17A secrete factors that activate macrophages, highlighting their role in lung remodeling and emphysema progression.

Cellular and molecular dynamics in the lungs of neonatal and juvenile mice in response to E. coli

This study compares immune responses in neonatal and juvenile mice to E. coli pneumonia, identifying age-related differences in cellular dynamics and gene expression that may explain increased neonatal susceptibility.

Structural modeling and thermostability of a serine protease inhibitor belonging to the Kunitz family from the tick Rhipicephalus microplus

This study models the tertiary structure of a Kunitz family serine protease inhibitor from Rhipicephalus microplus and evaluates its thermostability through molecular dynamics and circular dichroism.
