SARS-CoV-2 antibodies recognize 23 distinct epitopic sites on the receptor binding domain
Communications Biology, 2023 The COVID-19 pandemic and SARS-CoV-2 variants have dramatically illustrated the need for a better understanding of antigen (epitope)-antibody (paratope) interactions.

Structural mechanism of tapasin-mediated MHC-I peptide loading in antigen presentation
Nature Communications, 2022 The catalytic chaperone tapasin assists peptide loading onto MHC-I molecules for antigen presentation and immune recognition. Here, the authors present crystal structures that provide insights into the molecular mechanism of tapasin-mediated peptide ...

Normalizing and denoising protein expression data from droplet-based single cell profiling
Nature Communications, 2022 Current single cell protein expression profiling approaches come with substantial measurement noise. Here the authors discover the sources of this noise and develop a denoising algorithm that improves data quality and downstream applications.

Thirty years of resistance: Zig-zag through the plant immune system
The Plant Cell, 2022 Understanding the plant immune system is crucial for using genetics to protect crops from diseases. Plants resist pathogens via a two-tiered innate immune detection-and-response system. The first plant Resistance (R) gene was cloned in 1992 . Since then,

The role of platelets in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases
Nature reviews. Immunology, 2023 Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) are characterized by excessive and uncontrolled inflammation and thrombosis, both of which are responsible for organ damage, morbidity and death.

Molecular Mechanisms of the Toll-Like Receptor, STING, MAVS, Inflammasome, and Interferon Pathways
mSystems, 2021 Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) form the front line of defense against pathogens. Many of the molecular mechanisms that facilitate PRR signaling have been characterized in detail, which is critical for the development of accurate PRR pathway models ...
