This study shows that increased microbial exposure in adult mice worsens allergic airway inflammation, while early exposure does not have the same effect.

This study engineers outer membrane vesicles displaying dengue EDIII antigens to elicit strong, serotype-specific immune responses and neutralizing antibodies against all four dengue serotypes.

This paper develops a cell-free method to produce Nipah virus membrane proteins in liposomes for vaccine design, showing improved protein incorporation and enhanced immune responses in mice.

This study shows that a deletion in the NSP1 protein of SARS-CoV-2 variants reduces virulence by impairing host translation shutoff, suggesting NSP1 as a target for antiviral strategies.

The paper shows that ITK negatively regulates CD8+ T cell homeostatic proliferation, metabolism, and anti-tumor effector function through mTOR, challenging the notion that stronger TCR signals always enhance these processes.
