The dual character of the inhibitory functions of CD6

This study investigates CD6's dual inhibitory and costimulatory functions, showing it suppresses T cell responsiveness via its cytoplasmic domain and modulates autoimmunity through extracellular interactions.

CD5L constraints acute and systemic inflammation and can be a novel potent therapeutic agent against sepsis

This paper demonstrates that CD5L reduces sepsis severity by both anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory mechanisms, showing therapeutic potential in mouse models.

Paving the way towards understanding the inflammatory pathways triggered by giant viruses in mammalian cells: effect of mimivirus-cell interactions on IκBα degradation

This study investigates how APMV and Tupanvirus interact with mammalian cells, activating TLR4 and triggering inflammatory responses, including IκBα degradation.

Neutralizing antibody-independent immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in hamsters and hACE-2 transgenic mice immunized with a RBD/Nucleocapsid fusion protein

This study shows that a RBD/Nucleocapsid fusion protein induces strong T cell responses and protects against SARS-CoV-2 without neutralizing antibodies in hamsters and hACE-2 mice.

Cholesteryl Hemiazelate Induces Lysosome Dysfunction and Exocytosis in Macrophages

This study identifies cholesteryl hemiazelate as a cause of lysosome dysfunction and exocytosis in macrophages, contributing to atherosclerosis.

The 100,000 most influential scientists rank: the underrepresentation of Brazilian women in academia.

The paper analyzes the underrepresentation of Brazilian women in a global ranking of influential scientists, highlighting gender disparities in citations and self-citation practices.

Gender, race and parenthood impact academic productivity during the COVID-19 pandemic: from survey to action.

This study examines how gender, race, and parenthood affect academic productivity during the COVID-19 pandemic using survey data from Brazilian academics.

Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) reduces myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries by the activation of PI3K-AKT via KDEL-receptor binding

This study shows CDNF reduces myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injuries by activating PI3K-AKT through KDEL-receptor binding in cardiomyocytes.

An 8-Week Resistance Training Protocol Is Effective In Adapting Quadriceps But Not Patellar Tendon Shear Modulus Measured By Supersonic Shearwave Imaging

An 8-week resistance training protocol increased quadriceps muscle thickness and torque but did not significantly change patellar tendon shear modulus measured by supersonic shearwave imaging.
