Aberrant and Ectopic Cell Populations of the Fibrotic Pushing Border in Restrictive Allograft Syndrome after Lung Transplantation

This study identifies aberrant cell populations in RAS lungs using snRNA-seq and histology, revealing a fibrotic niche composed of specific cell types with potential therapeutic targets.

Toxoplasma gondii harbors a hypoxia-responsive coproporphyrinogen dehydrogenase-like protein.

This study identifies a hypoxia-responsive coproporphyrinogen dehydrogenase-like protein in Toxoplasma gondii that exhibits enzymatic activity but does not affect intracellular growth under hypoxia.

Non-apoptotic enteroblast-specific role of the initiator caspase Dronc for development and homeostasis of the Drosophila intestine

This study shows that the caspase Dronc has a non-apoptotic role in enteroblasts for intestinal development and homeostasis in Drosophila.

Toll-9 interacts with Toll-1 to mediate a feedback loop during apoptosis-induced proliferation in Drosophila

The paper shows Toll-9 interacts with Toll-1 to drive apoptosis-induced proliferation through NF-κB-like signaling in Drosophila.

Toxoplasma gondii requires its plant-like heme biosynthesis pathway for infection.

This study shows Toxoplasma gondii relies on its plant-like heme biosynthesis pathway for infection and demonstrates oxadiazon and its derivatives inhibit growth, suggesting heme biosynthesis as a therapeutic target.

An ortholog of P. falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (PfCRT) plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of the endolysosomal system in Toxoplasma gondii to facilitate host invasion

This study identifies TgCRT as a key regulator of the endolysosomal system in Toxoplasma gondii, showing its role in maintaining VAC integrity and facilitating parasite invasion.
