Broadly inhibitory antibodies against severe malaria virulence proteins

The paper identifies two human monoclonal antibodies that broadly inhibit PfEMP1's binding to EPCR, a key process in severe malaria pathogenesis.

Single-cell quantitative bioimaging of P. berghei liver stage translation.

The paper develops an assay to visualize and quantify translation in P. berghei liver stages, identifying a compound as a direct translation inhibitor.

Atypical B cells consist of subsets with distinct effector functions

The paper identifies three distinct subsets of atypical B cells with unique transcriptional and functional profiles in individuals with chronic Plasmodium falciparum exposure.

Behavioral differences among domestic cats in the response to cat-attracting plants and their volatile compounds reveal a potential distinct mechanism of action for actinidine

This study investigates behavioral responses of cats to cat-attracting plants and their volatile compounds, identifying actinidine as a potential distinct mechanism for eliciting the 'catnip response'.

A comparative analysis of memory B cell and antibody responses against Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 1 in children and adults from Uganda

The paper compares memory B cell and antibody responses against Plasmodium falciparum MSP1 in Ugandan children and adults, showing shifts from IgM to IgG and diversification with exposure.

SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific memory B cells express markers of durable immunity after non-severe COVID-19 but not after severe disease

This study compares memory B cell responses in non-severe and severe COVID-19 patients, finding that non-severe cases show stronger durable immunity markers.
