Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
The truth behind the story of neutrophil-derived ROS in promoting tumor colonization
Tumor colonization is counteracted by IL-1β-secreting tissue neutrophils.
Biomaterial vaccines capturing pathogen-associated molecular patterns protect against bacterial infections and septic shock
A new vaccine technology combining capture of bacterial pathogens with effective immune-reprogramming biomaterials could overcome common limitations in infection medicine.
The emergence of neutralizing antibodies limits success of mycobacteriophage therapy
Mycobacterium abscessus infections present a major challenge to antibiotic therapy. Bacteriophages have a potential role to play in treatment of these infections, but neutralizing antibody reactions can limit the efficacy of the phages when administered intravenously.
