The pneumococcal capsular serotype and genetic background, as well as a combination of genomic loci, influence intrinsic pneumococcal growth kinetics, which may have implications for pneumococcal disease pathogenesis.

High-content high-resolution microscopy coupled with deep learning-based analysis reveals novel phenotypes at the single-cell level during Shigella infection.

Myc dysregulation in activated macrophages impairs antioxidant defenses, locking them in a vicious cycle that amplifies type I interferon signaling, driving hyperinflammation and immunosuppression.

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.

Drug repurposing screens reveal several epigenetic inhibitors as active against P. vivax hypnozoites demonstrating that epigenetic pathways play a central role in hypnozoite quiescence.

More nuclei and cell volume, more enzymes in koji-fungus Aspergillus oryzae.

A novel array of CRISPR-based SHERLOCK tests for RNA detection was developed for eco-epidemiological surveillance of human and animal African trypanosomes from Western Africa with domestic pigs as sentinels.
