   A within-host infection model to explore tolerance and resistance

   David Duneau, Pierre DM Lafont ... Jean-Baptiste Ferdy

   A mathematical model of pathogen within-host dynamics and experimental validations elucidates the interplay between immune response, damage and pathogen proliferation, highlighting the limitations of current experimental proxies and proposing new methods to better understand host resistance and disease tolerance.

   A general mechanism for initiating the bacterial general stress response

   Rishika Baral, Kristin Ho ... Niels Bradshaw

   A coiled-coil-based transduction mechanism is identified for a serine/threonine phosphatase that controls a bacterial stress response, suggesting that phosphatases are part of a modularly exchangeable toolkit for bacterial signaling.

   Chalkophore-mediated respiratory oxidase flexibility controls M. tuberculosis virulence

   John A Buglino, Yaprak Ozakman ... Michael S Glickman

   M. tuberculosis produces a copper binding diisonitrile chalkophore to maintain the copper-dependent respiratory oxidase during infection, identifying a pathogen strategy that defends oxidative phosphorylation against host attack.

    Cell Surface Receptors: Virus attacks fish by muscling its way into cells

    Ping-Ping Liu, Zhe Wei, Xian-Wei Wang

    Nervous necrosis virus typically enters host cells via endocytosis, but it can also enter via a process called macropinocytosis.
