Dynamics of the CD9 interactome during bacterial infection of epithelial cells by proximity labelling proteomics

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 8, Page 2225-2247, April 2026.

Early Severe Pseudomonas Infections Revealing MyD88 Deficiency in Two Siblings: A Case Report

open access: yesCase Reports in Immunology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
