    The antibiotic bedaquiline activates host macrophage innate immune resistance to bacterial infection

    Alexandre Giraud-Gatineau, Juan Manuel Coya ... Ludovic Tailleux
    The anti-tuberculosis drug bedaquiline reprograms human macrophages into potent bactericidal phagocytes, which are able to control bacterial infection.

    Differences across cyclophilin A orthologs contribute to the host range restriction of hepatitis C virus

    Jenna M Gaska, Metodi Balev ... Alexander Ploss
    Incompatibilities between the viral replication machinery and orthologs of the essential host factor cyclophilin A (CypA) contribute to the narrow host range of hepatitis C virus.

    Integrating genomic and epidemiologic data to accelerate progress toward schistosomiasis elimination

    Andrea J Lund, Kristen J Wade ... Elizabeth J Carlton
    Genomic approaches can be integrated with epidemiological and ecological studies to provide high-resolution answers to open questions about schistosomiasis transmission dynamics, offering a level of precision that is actionable, such that schistosomiasis-control programming can be tailored to regional contexts.

    The lncRNA Malat1 inhibits miR-15/16 to enhance cytotoxic T cell activation and memory cell formation

    Benjamin D Wheeler, John D Gagnon ... K Mark Ansel
    A single microRNA-binding site in a long non-coding RNA alters T cell responses in vivo by 'sponging' the miRNA to inhibit its gene regulatory function.

    A new family of cell surface located purine transporters in Microsporidia and related fungal endoparasites

    Peter Major, Kacper M Sendra ... Robert P Hirt
    Transporters shared by fungal intracellular parasites provide new insights into the evolution of nucleotide and energy parasitism.

    A live attenuated-vaccine model confers cross-protective immunity against different species of the Leptospira genus

    Elsio A Wunder, Haritha Adhikarla ... Albert Ko
    A single dose of a characterized motility-deficient mutant was sufficient to induce robust anti-protein antibodies' response and cross-protective immunity against death and colonization in two different animal models of leptospirosis.

    Single-cell RNA sequencing unveils the hidden powers of zebrafish kidney for generating both hematopoiesis and adaptive antiviral immunity

    Chongbin Hu, Nan Zhang ... Jian-zhong Shao
    scRNA-seq revealed the fish kidney is a dual-functional entity with functionalities of both primary and secondary lymphoid organs and highlighted the multifaced biology of kidney in ancient vertebrates.

    The antigenic landscape of human influenza N2 neuraminidases from 2009 until 2017

    João Paulo Portela Catani, Anouk Smet ... Thorsten U Vogel
    N2 neuraminidases from human H3N2 viruses from 2009 until 2017 can be subdivided into four antigenic groups, with amino acid substitutions near the catalytic site more likely impacting neuraminidase inhibition.

    A bacteriophage endolysin that eliminates intracellular streptococci

    Yang Shen, Marilia Barros ... Daniel C Nelson
    Unlike other similar enzymes, the antimicrobial enzyme PlyC can interact with and translocate eukaryotic membranes, and then lyse and kill intracellular bacteria.
