This study shows that vitamin D deficiency worsens lung inflammation during H1N1 and SARS-CoV-2 infections, while sufficient vitamin D reduces inflammation, though not viral replication.

This paper identifies ArfT as a new ribosome rescue factor in Francisella tularensis that functions with RF1 or RF2, distinct from known factors, and shows its role in rescuing non-stop ribosomes.

This paper develops a novel F. tularensis vaccine strain expressing ovalbumin to study CD8+ T cell responses, finding that these cells expand early, produce IFN-γ, and have distinct kinetics in different tissues.

This study identifies MscS as a mechanosensitive channel critical for Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica survival in freshwater, enabling transmission between hosts.
