High intracellular calcium amounts inhibit activation-induced proliferation of mouse T cells

This study shows high intracellular calcium inhibits T cell proliferation in vitro and reduces colitis in vivo, suggesting calcium modulation could treat autoimmune diseases.

Interferon-γ lowers tumour growth by increasing glycolysis and lactate production in a nitric oxide-dependent manner: implications for cancer immunotherapy

This study shows IFN-γ reduces tumour growth by increasing glycolysis and lactate production through NO-dependent mechanisms, with implications for cancer immunotherapy.

Functional loss of rffG and rfbB, encoding dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase, changes colony morphology, cell shape, motility and virulence in Salmonella Typhimurium

This study shows that deleting both rffG and rfbB in Salmonella Typhimurium causes changes in cell shape, motility, and virulence.

Global transcriptome analysis reveals Salmonella Typhimurium employs the nitrate-dependent anaerobic pathway to combat bile stress

This study identifies nitrate-dependent anaerobic metabolism as a key mechanism for Salmonella Typhimurium to survive bile stress through transcriptome analysis.

Functional characterization of Salmonella Typhimurium encoded YciF, a domain of unknown function (DUF892) family protein, and its role in protection during bile and oxidative stress

This study characterizes YciF, a DUF892 domain protein in Salmonella Typhimurium, showing it functions as a ferroxidase that mitigates iron toxicity and oxidative stress during bile exposure.

Cytoplasmic membrane thinning observed by interfacial dyes is likely a common effect of bactericidal antibiotics

The paper uses membrane-specific dyes to measure antibiotic-induced membrane damage in E. coli and ESKAPE pathogens, finding that cytoplasmic membrane thinning correlates with bactericidal antibiotic sensitivity.

The Anaphase Promoting Complex/ cyclosome co-activator, Cdh1, is a novel target of human Papillomavirus 16 E7 oncoprotein in cervical oncogenesis

This study identifies Cdh1 as a novel target of HPV16 E7 oncoprotein, showing its role in promoting cervical oncogenesis through disruption of cell cycle regulation.

Particle Uptake Driven Phagocytosis in Macrophages and Neutrophils Enhances Bacterial Clearance

This study shows that non-stimulatory cargo-free particles enhance phagocytic ability in macrophages and neutrophils, leading to faster bacterial clearance.

Highly accurate random DNA sequencing using inherent interlayer potential traps of bilayer MoS2 nanopores

This paper demonstrates high accuracy DNA sequencing using bilayer MoS2 nanopores, achieving ~90% accuracy in picomolar solutions with high signal-to-noise ratio.

A sensory ecological perspective on mate sampling strategies: simulation models and an empirical test

The paper uses simulation models and empirical tests to evaluate mate sampling strategies in field crickets, finding that passive attraction to louder callers is optimal.

Absence of receptor guanylyl cyclase C enhances ileal damage and reduces cytokine and antimicrobial peptide production during oral Salmonella Typhimurium infection
