This study shows that ECM proteoglycans lumican and biglycan enhance antiviral immunity in HSV-1 corneal infections by promoting immune cell recruitment and cytokine production.

This study investigates how the miR-183/96/182 cluster regulates trigeminal ganglion sensory neurons' response to Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, showing its role in neurite growth and chemokine/neuropeptide production.

This study identifies Sortase F as essential for Corynebacterium mastitidis to colonize the eye and induce immune responses.

This paper identifies trehalose monocorynomycolate (TMCM) from C. mast as a stimulator of IL-17-producing γδ T cells at the ocular surface, which protects against corneal infection.

This study identifies Vγ6 T cells as a major C. mast-responsive subset in the conjunctiva and shows that intrinsic TLR2 signaling drives metabolic reprogramming and IL-17A production.
