Macrophages exist in various tissues, several body cavities, and around mucosal surfaces
and are a vital part of the innate immune system for host defense against many pathogens …

Human infectious diseases are unique in that the discovery of their environmental trigger,
the microbe, was sufficient to drive the development of extraordinarily effective principles …

Pyroptosis, a regulated form of pro-inflammatory cell death, is characterised by cell lysis and
by the release of cytokines, damage-and pathogen-associated molecular patterns. It plays …

During host cell invasion, Shigella escapes to the cytosol and polymerizes actin for cell-to-
cell spread. To restrict cell-to-cell spread, host cells employ cell-autonomous immune …

Ferroptosis, a regulated form of cellular death characterized by the iron-mediated
accumulation of lipid peroxides, provides a novel avenue for delving into the intersection of …

Our understanding of free-living bacterial models like Escherichia coli far outpaces that of
obligate intracellular bacteria, which cannot be cultured axenically. All obligate intracellular …

Nowadays, legal regulations and social environmental concerns are converging towards the
promotion of more sustainable agriculture based on organic compounds and soil …

Bacterial infections are of major medical concern due to antibiotic resistance. Carbon
quantum dots (CDs) have emerged as potentially excellent biomaterials for multifunctional …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa frequently causes antibiotic-recalcitrant pneumonia, but the
mechanisms driving its adaptation during human infections remain unclear. To reveal the …
