The paper shows LC3B forms nanoclusters on autophagosomes via specific lipid interactions and a unique binding pocket, impacting autophagosome motility.

This study identifies a thermosensing master regulator in Streptococcus pneumoniae that mediates the switch from commensal to pathogenic state through temperature-dependent regulation of surface adhesin expression.

This study shows that pneumolysin-loaded host extracellular vesicles contribute to pneumococcal pathogenesis by inducing cytotoxicity and inflammation.
