Biochemical and structural studies of target lectin SapL1 from the emerging opportunistic microfungus Scedosporium apiospermum

This study identifies and characterizes SapL1, a lectin from Scedosporium apiospermum, showing its fucose-binding specificity and role in host cell adhesion.

Flagellin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa modulates SARS-CoV-2 infectivity in CF airway epithelial cells by increasing TMPRSS2 expression

This study shows that flagellin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa increases TMPRSS2 expression in airway epithelial cells, enhancing SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, particularly in CFTR-deficient cells.
