The Legionella pneumophila type IVb secretion system effector BinA subverts amino acid transport to sensitize TORC1 signaling in macrophages

Magdalena L. Circu, Reneau Castore, Brian Latimer…·Stanimir S. Ivanov

This paper identifies BinA, a Legionella effector that rewires amino acid transport to sensitize mTORC1 signaling in macrophages, enhancing bacterial replication.

Direct interaction between cancer cells and fibroblasts promotes early chemoresistance to standard-of-care drug therapy in small cell lung cancer (SCLC)

Nilu Dhungel, Brian Latimer, David Custis, Ana‐Maria Dragoi

This study shows direct contact between SCLC cells and fibroblasts causes early chemoresistance to etoposide and cisplatin, with idarubicin remaining effective.
