Immature immune cells near dural sinuses linked to neonatal viral meningoencephalitis

In a recent article in Science Immunology, researchers used the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) model to examine virus propagation within central nervous systems (CNSs) during systemic infection. They evaluated the structural and functional differences in the CNS borders of four- and eight-week-old adult mice (P28) and male & female postnatal day seven (P7) neonates using the […]

Arming phages with heterologous effectors paves the way for successful UTI treatment

Recently, bacteriocins, synthetic antimicrobial peptides produced by bacteriophages (phages), are being developed as precision antimicrobials. This antimicrobial agent targets specific cell wall hydrolases, such as phage-derived endolysins, for their particular function. A recent Nature Communications study demonstrated how phage can be engineered to produce bacteriocins and cell wall hydrolases as antimicrobial effector genes. Therefore, an […]
