DOI: 10.1002/eji.201646786
Abstract: Most immune cell communication takes place by intercellular transfer of cytokines or the contact‐dependent interaction of surface receptors in immunological synapses. In this issue of the European Journal of Immunology, Gardell and Parker (Eur. J.… read more here.

Contact‐dependent, polarized acidification response during neutrophil–epithelial interactions
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Leukocyte Biology"
DOI: 10.1002/jlb.3ma0422-742r
Abstract: Neutrophil (PMN) infiltration during active inflammation imprints changes in the local tissue environment. Such responses are often accompanied by significant extracellular acidosis that result in predictable transcriptional responses. In this study, we explore the mechanisms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.70194
Abstract: Aerosol dust deposited on the nutrient‐deprived surface ocean can boost phytoplankton growth and oceanic carbon uptake. Low mineral solubility restricts the biological utilization of dust‐nutrients, thereby benefiting phytoplankton that actively dissolve dust. The ubiquitous colony‐forming,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13238-019-00662-0
Abstract: Common γ chain cytokines are important for immune memory formation. Among them, the role of IL-2 remains to be fully explored. It has been suggested that this cytokine is critically needed in the late phase… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.dyepig.2020.109131
Abstract: Abstract Lipophilic photosensitizers able to photo-induce lipid oxidation in biomembranes are, in general, much more efficient than hydrophilic ones; acting through the formation of singlet oxygen (1O2), which oxidizes the fatty acid double bonds (type… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mib.2017.09.011
Abstract: Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive organisms harbor systems for delivering toxins to neighboring bacteria upon direct cell contact. These systems, typified by type VI secretion (T6S) and contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) systems, are defined by their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.tim.2020.01.003
Abstract: To establish and maintain an ecological niche, bacteria employ a wide range of pathways to inhibit the growth of their microbial competitors. Some of these pathways, such as those that produce antibiotics or bacteriocins, exert… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-03177-3
Abstract: Lactococcus carnosus CNCM I-4031 is a psychrotrophic lactic acid bacterium used for the biopreservation of seafood. It effectively inhibits the growth of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, such as Listeria monocytogenes, through an atypical mechanism that… read more here.
