A new framework for examining tolerance in the context of quorum-sensing that may ultimately help predict and manage bacterial tolerance and, therefore, improve clinical outcome during infection.

A structure derived from cryogenic electron microscopy shows how ISG65, an African trypanosome receptor that aids virulence, binds C3b and suggests mechanisms through which ISG65 might aid complement resistance.

Differing time courses of immune responses to the BTN162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination in maintenance hemodialysis subjects are comparable to healthy controls and identify transcriptomic and clinical predictors of anti-spike IgG titers in hemodialysis subjects.

A user-friendly pipeline for analysis of time-lapse imaging data from the microfluidic mother machine.

E. coli that cause neonatal meningitis largely derive from two global clonal lineages that can additionally form intestinal reservoirs to seed recrudescent invasive infection even when appropriate antibiotics are used.

HIV escapes human immune pressure through a single mutation in V2 domain of envelope protein leading to emergence of mutant-specific broadly reactive antibodies, a phenomenon recapitulated in combinatorial vaccine design.

Biochemical and instrumental analysis showed that the membrane-induced exposure of myristoyl from the MA protein of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus triggers allosteric conformational changes resulting in MA oligomerization and unfolding of the cleavage site between MA and downstream domains of Gag.

Microfluidic methods are used to quantitatively probe single yeast cells' response to either simultaneous or sequential stresses, revealing the dynamic interplay between two antagonistic inputs, osmotic stress and glucose starvation.
