Necrosis drives susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in PolgD257A mutator mice

Cory J. Mabry, Chi Gidley Weindel, Lauren W. Stranahan, Jordyn J. VanPortfliet, J. R. Davis, E. L. Martinez, Andrew Phillip West, Kristin L. Patrick, Robert O. Watson

This study shows that mtDNA mutations in PolgD257A mice increase susceptibility to Mtb by impairing innate immunity and promoting necrosis.

Emergence of active contractile patterns alters monolayer force generation and transmission in response to focal adhesion distribution

J. R. Davis, J. Solowiej-Wedderburn, S. L. Vega, J. A. Burdick, C. Dunlop, N. Tapon

This study shows that focal adhesion distribution affects force balance in epithelial monolayers, revealing non-uniform contractile patterns that alter force transmission.
