This study identifies an extracellular Argonaute protein from a parasitic nematode that can be internalized by mouse cells and shows it can be targeted for vaccine development.

This study uses 2-D organoids to show that parasitic nematodes and their secreted products affect host gene expression differently depending on their location at the intestinal epithelium.

The paper identifies RNA-RNA interactions between RSV and miR-26/miR-27, showing their roles in cell cycle and antiviral immunity through target gene networks and nuclear localization.

The paper develops methods to disentangle sRNA-Seq data from interacting species, validating them on nematode-mouse interactions.

The paper identifies an Argonaute protein secreted by a nematode that mediates the release of specific siRNAs into the host environment.
