This study identifies a rapid host cell entry pathway for Staphylococcus aureus that influences intracellular fate, leading to different replication rates and host cell death compared to slower pathways.

This study shows that M-CSF enhances alveolar macrophage function to protect against invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised mice.

This study shows that the Staphylococcus aureus NRPS AusA preferentially uses exogenous phenylalanine and tyrosine for aureusimine biosynthesis, while valine can come from both internal and external sources.

This study identifies 306 endothelial cell surface proteins interacting with Staphylococcus aureus using a proximity labeling approach, revealing 89 validated receptor candidates with 53% known to interact with pathogens.
