This study shows eosinophils mediate protective intestinal remodeling in food allergies by interacting with epithelial cells, and their depletion worsens symptoms.

This study shows that Mex3a regulates neuronal differentiation by controlling translation and trafficking of cell surface proteins, cilia structure, and planar cell polarity in olfactory sensory neurons.

This paper develops a non-invasive fluorescent imaging agent to objectively measure olfaction loss by targeting NaV1.7, showing correlation between fluorescence intensity and smell loss severity.

This study shows that Eiger, the Drosophila TNF, is required for Myc-mediated cell competition but acts independently of JNK signaling.

This study identifies nuclear architecture disruption as a mechanism underlying SARS-CoV-2 induced anosmia by analyzing human and hamster olfactory tissues.

The paper identifies additional mutations in the NimrodC1 phagocytosis receptor in widely used egr3 mutant Drosophila strains, which may affect phagocytic function.
