Climate change in the Arctic: testing the poleward expansion of ticks and tick-borne diseases

K. McCoy, C. Toty, M. Dupraz, J. Tornos, A. Gamble, R. Garnier, S. Descamps, T. Boulinier

This study investigates whether the seabird tick Ixodes uriae has recently expanded into the high Arctic, finding instead that it has likely been present for a long time, maintaining high diversity and transmitting Lyme disease bacteria.

Immunotherapy efficacy in colorectal cancer is dependent on activation of a microbial-metabolite-immune circuit

L. Mager, R. Burkhard, N. Cooke, K. Brown, H. Ramay, S. Paik, J. Stagg, R. Grooves, M. Gallo, I. Lewis, M. Geuking, K. McCoy

This study identifies specific gut bacteria and the metabolite inosine that enhance immunotherapy efficacy in colorectal cancer by promoting Th1 cell activation through the adenosine A2A receptor.
