This paper designs an mRNA vaccine with fused SARS-CoV-2 RBDs from different variants to elicit cross-reactive antibodies without extensive somatic hypermutation.

This study evaluates the GeneXpert II platform for rapid influenza A virus detection in environmental and wildlife samples at a New Zealand seabird colony, demonstrating its feasibility for early warning surveillance.

This study shows IL-21 enhances cytotoxicity of activated MAIT cells by increasing GrzB and perforin expression without significantly affecting cytokine production.

This study shows that 4-1BB expression and signaling enhance MAIT cell activation and effector functions through TCR and cytokine signals.

The paper introduces TyphiNET, a dashboard for exploring Typhi genomics data to support public health decisions on antimicrobial resistance and vaccine implementation.

The paper investigates immune correlates of early Mtb clearance in TB household contacts, finding that BCG vaccination is linked to enhanced innate immune responses rather than adaptive immunity.
