    Neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies that target the PcrV component of the type III secretion system of Pseudomonas aeruginosa act through distinct mechanisms

    Jean-Mathieu Desveaux, Eric Faudry ... Pascal Poignard
    Human antibodies isolated from cystic fibrosis patients against PscF and PcrV of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Type 3 Secretion System reveal that anti-PcrV antibodies inhibit secretion through distinct mechanisms.

    Glycolysis-dependent sulfur metabolism orchestrates morphological plasticity and virulence in fungi

    Dhrumi Shah, Nikita Rewatkar ... Sriram Varahan
    A multidisciplinary approach demonstrates that glycolysis orchestrates fungal morphogenesis and virulence by regulating the de novo biosynthesis of sulfur-containing amino acids, thereby establishing a novel metabolic paradigm.

    HIV-specific CD8+ T-cell proliferative response 24 weeks after early antiretroviral therapy initiation is associated with the subsequent reduction in the viral reservoir

    Pien Margien van Paassen, Alexander O Pasternak ... Godelieve J de Bree
    In individuals who started antiretroviral therapy during acute HIV infection, the proliferative capacity of HIV-specific CD8+ T-cells at 24 weeks of therapy predicted the subsequent reduction in the viral reservoir.

    Doubling dolutegravir dosage reduces the viral reservoir in ART-treated people with HIV

    Céline Fombellida-Lopez, Aurelija Valaitienė ... Gilles Darcis
    In a randomized trial, ART intensification by doubling the dolutegravir dosage in people with HIV stably suppressed on dolutegravir-based ART reduced levels of four HIV reservoir markers in peripheral blood.

    Stratification of viral shedding patterns in saliva of COVID-19 patients

    Hyeongki Park, Yoshimura Raiki ... Taiga Miyazaki
    Distinct patterns of SARS-CoV-2 viral dynamics in saliva reveal heterogeneity that cannot be sufficiently explained by conventional clinical characteristics or microRNA profiles alone.
