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.

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: 10.1007/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: 10.1128/jb.00776-18
Abstract: Contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) systems are used in bacterial competition to hinder the growth of neighboring microbes. These systems utilize a two-partner secretion mechanism to display the CdiA exoprotein at the bacterial cell surface. CdiA… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010325
Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that often infects individuals with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis, and contributes to airway blockage and loss of lung function. Natural killer (NK) cells are cytotoxic, granular lymphocytes that… read more here.

DOI: 10.7554/elife.72409
Abstract: Myxococcus xanthus, a soil bacterium, predates collectively using motility to invade prey colonies. Prey lysis is mostly thought to rely on secreted factors, cocktails of antibiotics and enzymes, and direct contact with Myxococcus cells. In… read more here.
