Investigating the impact of X-rays on decay: X-ray computed tomography as a non-invasive visualisation technique for sediment-based decay experiments

I. Cavicchini, P. Wilson, S. Giles, J. Atterby, A. Jones, M. A. Williams, T. Clements

This study tests the impact of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) on decay of Danio rerio carcasses in sediment, finding no deviation in decay sequence and validating XCT as a non-destructive visualization method.

OCA-B/Pou2af1 is sufficient to promote CD4+ T cell memory and prospectively identifies memory precursors

W. Sun, E. P. Hughes, H. Kim, J. Perovanovic, K. R. Charley, B. Perkins, J. Du, A. Ibarra, A. R. Syage, J. S. Hale, M. A. Williams, D. Tantin

This study shows that OCA-B expression promotes CD4+ T cell memory and identifies memory precursor cells using a reporter mouse line.

ARF6-dependent endocytic trafficking of the Interferon-γ receptor drives adaptive immune resistance in cancer.

Y. Wee, J. Wang, E. C. Wilson, C. P. Rich, A. Rogers, Z. Tong, E. DeGroot, Y. N. V. Gopal, M. A. Davies, H. A. Ekiz, J. K. H. Tay, C. Stubben, K. M. Boucher, J. M. Oviedo, K. Fairfax, , A. H. Grossmann

This study identifies ARF6-dependent endocytic trafficking of the IFN-gamma receptor as a mechanism driving adaptive immune resistance in cancer, linking it to immune checkpoint blockade efficacy.

Generation of antigen-specific memory CD4 T cells by heterologous immunization enhances the magnitude of the germinal center response upon influenza infection

L. M. Sircy, A. G. Ramstead, H. Joshi, A. Baessler, I. Mena, A. Garcia-Sastre, M. A. Williams, J. S. Hale

This study shows that heterologous immunization primes antigen-specific memory CD4 T cells, enhancing early germinal center response but not antibody generation in influenza infection.

Unipolar peptidoglycan synthesis in the Rhizobiales requires an essential class A penicillin-binding protein

M. A. Williams, A. Aliashkevich, E. Krol, E. Kuru, J. M. Bouchier, J. Rittichier, Y. V. Brun, M. S. VanNieuwenhze, A. Becker, F. Cava, P. J. Brown

The paper investigates polar peptidoglycan synthesis in Rhizobiales using fluorescent probes and finds that a single class A penicillin-binding protein is essential for this process.
