Borrelia burgdorferi infection-enhanced Ixodes scapularis serpins S12c5 and S13c5, target MASP1/3 to inhibit MBL-pathway complement activation and promote spirochete survival

Emily Bencosme-Cuevas, Tae Kim, Thu-Thuy Nguyen…·Albert Mulenga

This study identifies two tick serpins, S12c5 and S13c5, that inhibit complement activation and enhance Borrelia burgdorferi survival by targeting MASP1/3.

Tick extracellular vesicles alter keratinocyte function in the skin epidermis

Liron Marnin, Luisa M. Valencia, Haikel N. Bogale…·Joao H. F. Pedra

This study shows that tick extracellular vesicles alter keratinocyte function in the epidermis by inhibiting proliferation and wound closure, linked to phosphoinositide 3-kinase, KGF-1, and TGF-β.
