Impact of Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporters on Toxoplasma gondii Infection and Differentiation

This study investigates the role of equilibrative nucleoside transporters in Toxoplasma gondii, showing that TgENT1 is critical for bradyzoite differentiation and identifying it as a therapeutic target.

Structural basis of respiratory complexes adaptation to cold temperatures

This study identifies a cold-induced conformation of respiratory complex CI:III2 using cryo-EM and simulations, revealing structural changes that enhance electron transfer efficiency in cold environments.

Spatial analysis of Hofbauer cell transcriptome, distribution and morphology in placentas exposed to Plasmodium falciparum

The paper examines spatial transcriptomic and proteomic profiles of Hofbauer cells in placentas with and without past Plasmodium falciparum infection, finding no significant differences in HBC features but reduced fetal vessel development in infected placentas.

Staphylococcus aureus biofilm secreted factors cause mucosal damage, mast cell infiltration and goblet cell hyperplasia in a rat rhinosinusitis model

This study shows that S. aureus biofilm secreted factors from CRS patients cause more severe mucosal inflammation in rats compared to controls.

Novavax NVX-COV2373 triggers potent neutralization of Omicron sub-lineages

This study evaluates the neutralizing antibody response to NVX-CoV2373 against Omicron sub-lineages after two or three doses, showing improved neutralization with a third dose.

Iron homeostasis governs erythroid phenotype in Polycythemia Vera

This study links iron homeostasis to Polycythemia Vera by showing HFE mutations affect hepcidin expression, which regulates erythroid phenotype.
