A natural cyclic peptide valinomycin enhances plant innate immunity

N. Yoo, J. E. Kang, D.-R. Kim, H. Lee, D. Ko, Y.-S. Kwak, E.-H. Chung

This study identifies valinomycin as a natural cyclic peptide that enhances plant innate immunity by boosting pattern-triggered and effector-triggered immunity in Arabidopsis.

Genomic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern under in vitro neutralising selection pressure following two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine

K. Basile, J. E. Agius, W. Fong, K. McPhie, M. Fennel, D. Ko, L. Hueston, C. Lam, A. Arnott, S. C.-A. Chen, S. Maddocks, M. V. N. O Sullivan, D. Dwyer, V. Sintchenko, J. Kok, , CIDMLS COVID-19 Study Group

This study assesses the neutralizing antibody titres against SARS-CoV-2 variants Delta and Beta post-Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination, finding significant reductions compared to wild-type virus.

Improved neutralization of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant after Pfizer-BioNTech BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine boosting

K. Basile, R. J. Rockett, K. McPhie, M. Fennell, J. Johnson-Mackinnon, J. Agius, W. Fong, H. Rahman, D. Ko, L. Donavan, L. Hueston, C. Lam, A. Arnott, S. Chen, S. Maddocks, , J. Kok

This study shows that Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine boosting increases neutralizing antibodies against Omicron, but they are still lower than against the A.2.2 lineage.

Methylthioadenosine reduces host inflammatory response by suppressing Salmonella virulence

J. S. Bourgeois, D. Zhou, T. L. M. Thurston, J. J. Gilchrist, D. Ko

This study shows that methylthioadenosine (MTA) reduces Salmonella virulence by suppressing flagellar and SPI-1 networks, leading to decreased motility, pyroptosis, and inflammation in mice.
