This study shows selenium deficiency in mice increases viral mutation diversity and generates mutations seen in SARS-CoV-2 pandemic variants.

The paper investigates the early immune response to Coccidioides in mice, identifying PD-L1+ neutrophils and Spp1+ macrophages as key players in inflammation and fibrosis.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze immune cell responses in the brain during VEEV infection, identifying distinct subpopulations and spatial patterns of immune infiltration.

This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to analyze lung immune responses during lethal Coccidioides infection, identifying macrophages and neutrophils involved in fibrosis and immune dysregulation.
