This study shows that Candida spp. suppress neutrophil reactive nitrogen species to evade killing, and restoring RNS via Hif-1 stabilisation improves infection outcomes.

This study develops an in vitro assay to investigate how EPA decorations on E. faecalis affect phagocytosis, showing that decoration deletion increases phagocytosis and that lipoproteins are not involved.

This study shows that S. aureus uses autophagy to create an intracellular niche in neutrophils, while p62-mediated autophagy protects the host.

This paper introduces a transgenic zebrafish model expressing claudin 5a to study the development and function of the blood-brain barrier and choroid plexus barrier in vivo.
