This study identifies two tick serpins, S12c5 and S13c5, that inhibit complement activation and enhance Borrelia burgdorferi survival by targeting MASP1/3.

This study investigates sex differences in immune response to TB vaccines in mice, finding that male mice show poorer BCG vaccine efficacy and specific CD8 T cell deficiencies compared to females.

This study identifies macrophages as key drivers of BCG therapy's anti-tumoral effect through direct TNF-mediated cancer cell killing, independent of adaptive immunity.

The paper identifies gene pathways associated with neutrophil and platelet responses that are activated up to six months before TB diagnosis in whole blood.
