This study identifies Neuropilin-1 as a host factor that promotes Chikungunya virus infection while restraining proinflammatory cytokine production, and shows its inhibition reduces viral infection in vitro and in vivo.

This study shows that dengue protease activates and polarizes macrophages towards M1 phenotype without toxicity, suggesting potential for macrophage-based therapies.

This study shows that sialylated flagellin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa suppresses TLR5 signaling via Siglec-9, leading to reduced DC maturation and altered T cell polarization.
