The paper shows that apical extrusion prevents apoptosis from triggering inflammation in epithelia by eliminating apoptotic cells before they activate an IL-8-driven inflammatory response.

This study identifies oxysterols and GPR183 as drivers of inflammation in the lung during influenza and SARS-CoV-2 infections, showing that targeting GPR183 reduces inflammation and disease severity.

This study identifies modified antimicrobial peptides from horseshoe crabs that effectively kill bacteria, including UPEC, both extracellularly and intracellularly, with reduced toxicity to mammalian cells.

The paper develops an eDNA assay for white-clawed crayfish and evaluates its performance in detecting species presence, interactions with pathogens and invasive species, and optimal sampling methods.
