This paper identifies a β-strand complementation mechanism used by PilC/PilY1 proteins to license type IV filament assembly across diverse systems.

This study demonstrates that Staphylococcus epidermidis can be engineered to elicit potent immune responses when applied topically or intranasally, with nasal colonization inducing stronger systemic and mucosal immunity.

This paper designs self-assembling protein nanoparticle vaccines using AlphaFold2 predictions, demonstrating atomic-level accuracy and potent immune responses in mice.

This study uses deep mutational scanning to identify functional and antigenic effects of mutations in rabies glycoprotein, revealing escape mutations for antibodies and constrained regions for vaccine development.

This study identifies stac1 in zebrafish embryos and shows it is required for sensory stimulus-induced escape locomotion via regulation of CSF-cNs.
