Treatment of malaria parasites with the frontline antimalarial drug artemisinin can increase the proportion of parasites that convert into transmission forms.

Rhesus macaques can develop broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) against the V3-glycan patch of Env that resembles human V3/N332 bNABs.

Host-microbe interactions are an important influence on changing disease burdens in vulnerable remote communities.

DNA uptake and recombination in pneumococcus are highly efficient and independent of the cell-cycle or genetic location of the transformed allele, but limited to maximally 50% of the population.

The Cajal body is essential for plants to deploy antiviral DNA methylation.

The growth of multicellular bacterial structures called biofilms generates forces that deform soft material substrates and disrupt epithelial cell layers, potentially mechanically damaging host tissue.

In vivo and in vitro approaches uncover a new function for the β-barrel OmpA and reveal how it interacts with the stress sensor lipoprotein RcsF.

The combination of phenotypic measures of antigenic drift and genotypic measures of functional constraint improves the accuracy of long-term seasonal influenza A/H3N2 forecasts.

New measures of influenza virus fitness could improve vaccine strain selection through more accurate forecasts of the evolution of the virus.

The structure of full-length myosin A provides some hints about its atypical mechanism, and reveals that the light chain PfELC is a target to block malaria pathogenesis.
