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 study identifies epitope targeting as the main determinant of ADCC activity in SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, showing that moderate binding and not SHM or neutralization potency drives immune cell activation.

This study shows that re-infection with SARS-CoV-2 leads to broader and more potent antibodies against diverse sarbecovirus strains compared to antibodies from a prior infection.

This paper designs de novo protein nanoparticles with integrated functional motifs, demonstrating their ability to form structured assemblies and elicit immune responses in mice.

This study shows that CO2 influences different life stages of the nematode Strongyloides stercoralis, affecting their behavior and development during host interaction.

This study identifies cross-reactive antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and related sarbecoviruses that target conserved epitopes and show broad neutralization potential.

This paper identifies diverse functional antibodies targeting the S2 subunit of SARS-CoV-2 spike, including one with broad neutralization activity across multiple coronaviruses.

This study identifies parasite-specific neural adaptations in Strongyloides stercoralis that enable temperature-driven host seeking.
