This study identifies Awp11, an adhesin-like effector in Candida glabrata, as a key determinant of strain-dependent immunogenicity and gut colonization.

This study identifies sagA mutations in E. faecium that cause cell envelope defects, increasing antibiotic susceptibility and phage sensitivity.

This study shows that IpaC forms a translocation-competent pore essential for Shigella flexneri to escape double membrane vacuoles during intercellular spread.

This study shows that NOD2 promotes coxsackievirus B3 replication in intestinal epithelial cells by suppressing Type 1 Interferon expression and MDA5 activation through NOD2-mediated mitophagy.

This study shows vimentin regulates neutrophil mitochondrial ROS production and inflammatory responses by modulating mitochondrial function and ROS levels.

The paper uses plasma proteomics to identify tissue-specific cell death and cell-cell interaction mediators in severe COVID-19 patients, linking them to survival outcomes and viral infection effects.
