    Quantitative RNA pseudouridine landscape reveals dynamic modification patterns and evolutionary conservation across bacterial species

    Letong Xu, Shenghai Shen ... Xin Deng
    Transcriptome-wide profiling of bacterial RNA pseudouridylation maps modification landscapes and nominates candidate regulatory sites, offering a resource and foundation for future mechanistic studies of Ψ function in bacteria.

    Redirection of SARS-CoV-2 to phagocytes by intranasal sACE2-Fc as a universal decoy confers complete prophylactic protection

    Jingyi Wang, Jiangchuan Li ... Bo Feng
    Functional and mechanistic analyses reveal that intranasal decoys engage phagocytic clearance beyond viral neutralization to provide effective protection, establishing immune redirection for developing broad-spectrum countermeasures against airborne viral threats.

    Physiological febrile heat stress increases cytoadhesion through increased protein trafficking of Plasmodium falciparum surface proteins into the red blood cell

    David Jones, Hugo Belda ... Moritz Treeck
    Fever, often seen as protective, accelerates protein export to surfaces of malaria-infected RBCs, increasing adhesion linked to disease severity.

    RadD from Fusobacterium nucleatum engages NKp46 to promote antitumor cytotoxicity

    Ahmed Rishiq, Johanna Galaski ... Ofer Mandelboim
    RadD recognition by NKp46 converts Fusobacterium nucleatum from an immune-evasive pathogen into a trigger of natural killer cell-mediated tumor control in a context-dependent manner.

    Bivalent mRNA booster encoding virus-like particles elicits potent polyclass receptor-binding domain antibodies in pre-vaccinated mice

    Chengcheng Fan, Alexander A Cohen ... Magnus AG Hoffmann
    Bivalent EABR mRNA boosters broaden neutralizing responses to Omicron subvariants by promoting diverse receptor-binding domain epitope targeting, although antibody responses remain partially shaped by immune imprinting from prior vaccination.
