CD4+ Trm sustain the chronic phase of auto-immune neuroinflammatory disease

This study identifies CD4+ Trm cells in the CNS of PMS patients and EAE models, showing their role in sustaining chronic inflammation and suggesting targeting them for new therapies.

Protective function and differentiation cues of brain-resident CD8+ T cells during immune surveillance of chronic latent Toxoplasma gondii infection

This study identifies the protective functions and differentiation cues of brain-resident CD8+ T cells during chronic Toxoplasma gondii infection using a mouse model and single-cell transcriptomics.

Synergistic effects of the next generation insecticide flupyradifurone with a fungalpathogen

This study shows that flupyradifurone increases ant mortality and susceptibility to fungal infection, highlighting a synergistic effect with pathogens.

Molecular features underlying Pseudomonas aeruginosa persistence in human plasma

This study identifies molecular factors enabling Pseudomonas aeruginosa persistence in human plasma by analyzing genetic determinants and immune interactions.

The wall-less bacterium Spiroplasma poulsonii builds a polymeric cytoskeleton composed of interacting MreB isoforms

This paper investigates the role of MreB isoforms in Spiroplasma poulsonii, showing they form a polymeric cytoskeleton that maintains cell shape without a cell wall.

Dual proteomics of Drosophila melanogaster hemolymph infected with the heritable endosymbiont Spiroplasma poulsonii

The paper reports changes in Drosophila hemolymph proteome upon infection with Spiroplasma poulsonii, revealing chronic Toll pathway activation and candidate proteins controlling bacterial growth.

Rapid molecular evolution of Spiroplasma symbionts of Drosophila

This study examines the rapid molecular evolution of Spiroplasma poulsonii, showing high substitution rates and structural genomic differences between strains.
