   Heat stress induces phage tolerance in Enterobacteriaceae

   Fan Zhang, Hao-Ze Chen ... Jia-Feng Liu

   Bacterial persistence against phages enables survival under infection, and heat treatment enhances this tolerance, facilitating resistance evolution and influencing the effectiveness of phage therapy.

   The human cytomegalovirus-encoded pUS28 antagonizes CD4+ T cell recognition by targeting CIITA

   Fabienne Maassen, Vu Thuy Khanh Le-Trilling ... Mirko Trilling

   Through the destabilization of CIITA, the human cytomegalovirus-encoded protein pUS28 antagonizes the expression of the HLA-II molecules CD74/Ii, HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, HLA-DM, and HLA-DP, diminishing the activation of HCMV-specific CD4+ T cells and reducing their secretion of antiviral cytokines.
