Characterisation of prophages in Clostridium clostridioforme: an understudied component of the intestinal microbiome

This study characterizes prophages in Clostridium clostridioforme LM41, identifying 15 prophages and their potential roles in host fitness and genetic diversity.

Cancer-associated fibroblasts produce matrix-bound vesicles that influence endothelial cell function

CAFs with a myofibroblastic-like phenotype transfer proteins to ECs, including plasma membrane receptors, through matrix-bound EVs.

Immunogenic cell death in mice expressing caspase-resistant ROCK1 is not replicated by ROCK inhibitors

This study shows that caspase-resistant ROCK1 in mice leads to more immunogenic cell death in liver damage and tumors, but ROCK inhibitors do not replicate this effect.

In vitro coinfection by influenza A virus and respiratory syncytial virus generates hybrid viral particles with altered structure and tropism

This study shows that co-infection of human lung cells with influenza A and respiratory syncytial viruses produces hybrid viral particles with altered structure and immune evasion capabilities.
