Cryptosporidium sex employs a complex male fertilization apparatus that is required for continued infection

This study identifies a complex male fertilization apparatus in Cryptosporidium, essential for infection, and shows that disrupting HAP2 prevents fertilization and clears infection.

Cryptosporidium sequentially remodels its single rhoptry into the host interface

This study reveals how Cryptosporidium remodels its single rhoptry into the host interface during invasion and intracellular parasitism.

Dual species interactions shield Campylobacter against multiple antibiotics

The paper identifies dual-species interactions between Campylobacter and Enterococcus spp. that confer antibiotic resistance in clinical samples.

Label-free detection of individual virus-infected cells using deep learning

This paper introduces a deep learning model to identify virus-infected cells from light microscopy images without using labels or stains, achieving up to 96% classification accuracy.

Recruitment of the cellular lipid transport protein CERT to C. psittaci inclusions regulates the timing of bacterial egress

This study shows that CERT recruitment to C. psittaci inclusions regulates egress timing by stabilizing the inclusion membrane, with premature egress occurring when CERT is lost.

Olfactory transmucosal SARS-CoV-2 invasion as port of Central Nervous System entry in COVID-19 patients

The paper investigates SARS-CoV-2 entry into the CNS via the olfactory mucosa in COVID-19 patients and demonstrates neurotropism and cerebral thromboembolism.
