Systematically tracking and analysing reproductive loss in livestock helps with efforts to safeguard the health and productivity of food animals by identifying causes and high-risk areas.

In a stress-specific manner, Mycobacterium tuberculosis PhoP regulates Rv0805 phosphodiesterase expression to control cAMP level and contributes to intracellular survival of the bacilli.

High-affinity nanobodies targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein demonstrate sustained effectiveness against current and emerging variants, offering a promising avenue for treatment.

The N-terminal domain of Staphylococcus aureus GpsB, a scaffolding protein, forms an atypical asymmetric dimer and binds to the C-termini of FtsZ and PBP4, influencing the localization and regulation of both the Z-ring and cell wall synthesis.

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.
