This study shows that Brucella-induced spondyloarthritis in SKG mice results from both persistent bacterial infection and host immune reactivity, with species-specific differences in disease progression.

The paper introduces synthetic haemolymphs (nutribloods) to study how nutrient profiles affect microbial growth in insect-pathogen interactions.

This study combines in vivo and in vitro approaches to show that host nutrition primarily affects bacterial growth in a host-parasite system, rather than host immune responses.

This study identifies multiple UPR pathways that cooperate to link cytosolic dsDNA release to STING activation and IFN-β induction in response to ER stress.

This study uses high-depth resequencing to analyze genetic diversity and insecticide resistance in fall armyworm populations invading China, revealing hybrid origins and resistance patterns.
