    Lipid peroxidation and type I interferon coupling fuels pathogenic macrophage activation causing tuberculosis susceptibility

    Shivraj M Yabaji, Vadim Zhernovkov ... Igor Kramnik
    Myc dysregulation in activated macrophages impairs antioxidant defenses, locking them in a vicious cycle that amplifies type I interferon signaling, driving hyperinflammation and immunosuppression.

    Non-cognate immunity proteins provide broader defenses against interbacterial effectors in microbial communities

    Abigail Knecht, Denise Sirias ... Karine A Gibbs
    A biochemical and bioinformatics approach shows how T6SS immunity proteins bind to and neutralize a range of non-cognate effectors, which is critical for promoting bacterial fitness in mixed-strain environments.
