This study identifies Mnh1 as a key cation/proton antiporter promoting S. aureus phagocytic uptake and intracellular survival in human monocytes, suggesting it as a therapeutic target.

This study shows S. aureus persists in musculoskeletal tissues despite antibiotic therapy, with residual bacteria capable of causing relapse.

The paper develops a ratiometric fluorescent pH sensor for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, validated in E. coli, S. epidermidis, and MRSA, enabling real-time pH tracking and identification of pH-sensitive phenotypes.

This study profiles tumor-reactive T cell dynamics during TIL therapy in metastatic melanoma, identifying factors associated with response and resistance.

The paper maps Staphylococcus aureus microgeography in human tissue using AI-guided imaging and finds antibiotic failure is linked to intracellular bacterial persistence and metabolic constraints.

The paper develops a far-red fluorescent probe to visualize Staphylococcus aureus in human tissue samples, demonstrating its effectiveness in multiple imaging applications.

speedingCARs uses domain shuffling and single-cell sequencing to engineer CAR T cells, identifying effective variants with diverse transcriptional signatures and T cell phenotypes.

The paper investigates how human genetic variation influences Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) sequence diversity by analyzing paired viral and human genomic data from HIV-coinfected individuals.
