Defining the role of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PilY1 in signaling and virulence

Christopher L. Pritchett, Fredrick Heath Damron, Mariette Barbier

This study identifies PilY1-controlled genes and shows PilY1 regulates cAMP and the AlgZ/R system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, impacting virulence without affecting bacterial survival in key organs.

Intratumoral administration of mRNA-1273 vaccine delays melanoma growth in mice

Dylan T. Boehm, Kaitlyn M. Landreth, Emel Sen-Kilic, Katherine S. Lee, Bishal Misra, Sharan Kumar Reddy Bobbala, Fredrick Heath Damron, Tracy W. B. Liu

This study shows that intratumoral mRNA-1273 vaccine injections delay melanoma growth in mice by increasing CD8+ T cell infiltration and enhancing immune checkpoint therapy responses.
