This study identifies autoimmune-like CD8⁺ T cell responses as drivers of atherosclerotic plaque instability and predictors of cardiovascular events in humans and mice.

The paper shows that lung structural cells retain an inflammatory imprint after influenza infection, enabling faster viral control upon re-challenge.

This study shows that CCR1/2/3/5 deletion reduces CD4 T cell responses but not CD8 T cell responses to influenza virus infection.

This paper shows that OvoA, an enzyme involved in ovothiol synthesis in Leishmania mexicana, is not essential for growth or infectivity but affects sensitivity to amphotericin B.

This study shows segmented negative-strand RNA viruses use upstream translation initiation to expand their coding capacity through non-AUG initiation and host mRNA leader sequence appropriation.
