    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.
