A Novel Metric for Quantifying the Sustainability of Phage-Mediated Bacterial Suppression

This paper introduces the Sustainability Index (SusI) to quantify the duration of phage-mediated bacterial growth suppression and demonstrates its utility in evaluating phage efficacy.

Cell-autonomous thermogenesis of macrophage alters its antibacterial function

This study shows that macrophages generate heat through a cell-autonomous mechanism, which reduces their antibacterial function in cold environments.
