This study shows antibiotics increase susceptibility to C. difficile infection by promoting CCR5-dependent immune responses in mice.

This study shows that blocking CD44, a hyaluronan receptor, reduces inflammation and improves survival in mice infected with SARS-CoV-2.

This study examines immune responses in two healthy adults after primary cryptosporidiosis, showing short-lived antibodies but sustained avidity maturation and Th1-driven cytokine responses similar to murine models.

This study identifies TCF4 as a critical regulator of alveolar macrophage stemness and shows that targeting TCF4 can mitigate post-viral lung disease and fibrosis.

The paper shows IL-33 prevents recurrent C. difficile infection by restoring anti-TcdB antibody production through ILC2-TFH cell interactions.

This paper evaluates a TcdB vaccine adjuvanted with a dual-TLR ligand liposome, showing complete protection against lethal CDI in mice and superior antibody and memory B cell responses compared to alum.
