    Physiological febrile heat stress increases cytoadhesion through increased protein trafficking of Plasmodium falciparum surface proteins into the red blood cell

    David Jones, Hugo Belda ... Moritz Treeck
    Fever, often seen as protective, accelerates protein export to surfaces of malaria-infected RBCs, increasing adhesion linked to disease severity.

    RadD from Fusobacterium nucleatum engages NKp46 to promote antitumor cytotoxicity

    Ahmed Rishiq, Johanna Galaski ... Ofer Mandelboim
    RadD recognition by NKp46 converts Fusobacterium nucleatum from an immune-evasive pathogen into a trigger of natural killer cell-mediated tumor control in a context-dependent manner.

    Bivalent mRNA booster encoding virus-like particles elicits potent polyclass receptor-binding domain antibodies in pre-vaccinated mice

    Chengcheng Fan, Alexander A Cohen ... Magnus AG Hoffmann
    Bivalent EABR mRNA boosters broaden neutralizing responses to Omicron subvariants by promoting diverse receptor-binding domain epitope targeting, although antibody responses remain partially shaped by immune imprinting from prior vaccination.

    Antibiotic potentiation and inhibition of cross-resistance in pathogens associated with cystic fibrosis

    Nikol Kadeřábková, R Christopher D Furniss ... Despoina AI Mavridou
    Targeting disulfide bond formation disables multiple antibiotic resistance mechanisms and prevents cross-protection between pathogens associated with cystic fibrosis lung infections, restoring antibiotic efficacy in polymicrobial settings.
