    Immune genes are hotspots of shared positive selection across birds and mammals

    Allison J Shultz, Timothy B Sackton
    Pathogens, particularly viruses, target the same genes over deep evolutionary time, resulting in shared signatures of positive selection and transcriptional responses at the same genes.

    A suite of selective pressures supports the maintenance of alleles of a Drosophila immune peptide

    Sarah R Mullinax, Andrea M Darby ... Robert L Unckless
    Genetic variation in an immune peptide is maintained by multiple selective forces including an interplay between systemic immunity, sex, and the microbiome.

    Bacterial autolysins trim cell surface peptidoglycan to prevent detection by the Drosophila innate immune system

    Magda Luciana Atilano, Pedro Matos Pereira ... Sérgio Raposo Filipe
    To avoid recognition by the immune system, bacteria use autolysins to trim fragments of peptidoglycans that are exposed on the bacterial cell wall.

    Asynchrony between virus diversity and antibody selection limits influenza virus evolution

    Dylan H Morris, Velislava N Petrova ... Colin A Russell
    Despite the virus' error prone polymerase, influenza virus antigenic evolution is rare, even in previously immune hosts, virus replication occurs before producing new antibodies.

    Population structuring of multi-copy, antigen-encoding genes in Plasmodium falciparum

    Yael Artzy-Randrup, Mary M Rorick ... Mercedes Pascual
    Mathematical modeling shows that local populations of the malaria parasite self-organize into a limited number of transient but distinct strains through competition for hosts in immunity space.

    Selective agonist of TRPML2 reveals direct role in chemokine release from innate immune cells

    Eva Plesch, Cheng-Chang Chen ... Christian Grimm
    Direct and selective activation of TRPML2 promotes macrophage migration through release of CCL2.

    The use of non-functional clonotypes as a natural calibrator for quantitative bias correction in adaptive immune receptor repertoire profiling

    Anastasia O Smirnova, Anna M Miroshnichenkova ... Alexander Komkov
    A hallmark property of non-functional clonotypes was used to develop a universal and fully computational method for detection and correction of multiplex PCR-specific quantitative bias in adaptive immune receptor repertoire.

    Arginase 1 is a key driver of immune suppression in pancreatic cancer

    Rosa E Menjivar, Zeribe C Nwosu ... Marina Pasca di Magliano

    Stimulus-selective crosstalk via the NF-κB signaling system reinforces innate immune response to alleviate gut infection

    Balaji Banoth, Budhaditya Chatterjee ... Soumen Basak
    The integration of signals via the pleiotropic NF-kappaB (NF-κB) system enables microenvironmental cues to tune cellular responses to pathogenic substances.
