We are writing to comment on an article by Mast et al., 2021, about the drivers of coagulopathy in the lungs of COVID-19 patients.

Antibody-based biologicals could provide an alternative approach to improve the diagnosis of Staphylococcus aureus biofilm-related infections.

The decrotonylase FoSir5 modulates ATP synthesis that supports conidial germination in Fusarium oxysporum through coordinated lysine decrotonylation in different organelles.

Single-cell data analysis must be guided by an underlying model.

Genomics and genetics were used to identify specialized metabolites employed by Pseudomonas bacteria to suppress the growth of potato pathogens, which revealed a key role for cyclic lipopeptides.

During infection, L. pneumophila reverses the ATP-synthase activity of the mitochondrial F_OF₁-ATPase to ATP-hydrolase activity in a type 4 secretion-dependent manner to prevent early cell death, thereby preserving its replication niche.

The invasion of Toxoplasma to the CNS across cortical capillaries is restricted by the integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and exacerbated by the inflammatory response.

Following initial invasion events, intracellular life stages of C. parvum rely upon an N-terminal host-targeting motif and proteolytic processing at a specific leucine residue to deliver proteins into the infected enterocyte.

Uniform diameter and curvature of the outer membrane extensions and vesicles of Shewanella oneidensis are maintained by a bacterial Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain-like protein BdpA.

Functional characterization of a pair of cis-encoded antisense RNAs reveals a role for RNase III and antisense regulation in the biogenesis and regulatory activity of a bacterial virulence factor-regulating small RNA.
