    Pink1-mediated mitophagy in the endothelium releases proteins encoded by mitochondrial DNA and activates neutrophil responses during inflammation

    Priyanka Gajwani, Li Wang ... Jalees Rehman
    Inflammatory activation of endothelial cells triggers Pink1-dependent mitophagy and mitochondrial formyl peptides release, which drives neutrophil recruitment and lung injury.

    Reprogramming of host energy metabolism mediated by the TNF-iNOS-HIF-1α axis plays a key role in host resistance to Plasmodium infection

    Kely Catarine Matteucci, Nathalia PS Leite ... Ricardo T Gazzinelli
    TNF-driven metabolic reprogramming enhances glucose utilization in monocytes through inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), promoting parasite control and host resistance during Plasmodium infection.

    Heterozygote advantage cannot explain MHC diversity, but MHC diversity can explain heterozygote advantage

    Joshua L Cherry
    The unusually high genetic diversity of MHC genes cannot be explained by heterozygote advantage alone because heterozygote advantage is not expected without some other driver of diversity.
