The Memory Inflation Response Against Spread‐Defective CMV Requires Priming‐Independent CD4+ T Cell Help

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 6, June 2026.
Inducing memory inflation (MI) is a promising future vaccination strategy. We show that spread‐defective cytomegalovirus does not induce MI in the absence of CD4+ T cells. Support from CD4+ T cells can drive effector differentiation of MI cells, even late in the response, and contributes to long‐term response maintenance. ABSTRACT Memory inflation (MI)

Critical domains for NACC2-NTRK2 fusion protein activation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinases (NTRKs) belong to the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. NTRKs are responsible for the activation of multiple downstream signaling pathways that regulate cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, and ...

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Under the Lens of Structure: From Prefusion Stabilization to Next‐Generation Immunotherapies

open access: yesiNew Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
This illustration integrates key concepts covered in the review, including high‐risk populations, viral structure, host entry factors, the replication cycle, and licensed antibody‐based prevention strategies. ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a negative‐sense RNA virus belonging to the genus Orthopneumovirus within the family Pneumoviridae.

Investigating the structural basis of surfactant protein D oligomerization: The crucial role of Cys15‐Cys15/Cys20‐Cys20 disulfide bond linkage

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Surfactant protein D (SP‐D) plays a vital role in innate immunity by recognizing and binding to glycans on the surfaces of various pathogens. The oligomerization of SP‐D into dodecameric structures enhances its pathogen‐binding and antiviral activities.

Nanobodies: A Promising Toolkit for Diagnostic Applications

open access: yesSmartMat, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
This review focuses on camelid‐derived nanobodies (VHHs) and explains how their small size and high stability support robust diagnostic design. Applications across ELISA, lateral flow assays, and PET/SPECT imaging are summarized, along with clinical progress such as caplacizumab.

Immune Evasion of Helicobacter pylori and Extra‐Gastric Cancer Risk

open access: yesJournal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 1722-1742, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a group 1 gastric carcinogen that plays a significant role in extra‐gastric digestive system cancers. H. pylori disrupts host cell homeostasis through expression of virulence factors leading to immune evasion as well as persistent gastric mucosal colonization. H. pylori infection has been shown to play a role

Ischemia‐Induced Post‐Translational Modifications of GLT‐1 Mediate Aberrant Trafficking and Impaired Glutamate Uptake

open access: yesJournal of Neurochemistry, Volume 170, Issue 6, June 2026.
Ischemic insult causes hyper‐glutamatergic signaling and neuronal death. The astrocytic transporter GLT‐1, which clears extracellular glutamate, is internalized and degraded in response to ischemia. We found that lysine‐directed post‐translational modifications (particularly ubiquitination) of the C‐terminal domain drive aberrant trafficking ...

Clathrin‐Mediated Endocytosis in Plants: Historical to Modern Advances

open access: yesTraffic, Volume 27, Issue 2, June 2026.
Ultrastructural studies by Bonnett and Newcomb in 1966 revealed the existence of coated vesicles budding from the plant cell plasma membrane. This review introduces this discovery and early questions regarding the biological significance of CME in plants highlighting advances in our understanding of the plant CME molecular machinery along with current ...

Coronavirus nucleocapsid proteins assemble constitutively in high molecular oligomers

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Coronaviruses (CoV) are enveloped viruses and rely on their nucleocapsid N protein to incorporate the positive-stranded genomic RNA into the virions. CoV N proteins form oligomers but the mechanism and relevance underlying their multimerization remain to

Optical control over monomeric and multimeric protein hybrids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Living materials are based on proteins that adapt and change in structure and function continuously when in use; cellular microtubules, ATP synthases and ribosomes are but a few examples. Breathing life into semi-synthetic materials would allow improved understanding over protein regulation and dynamics, and how their integration into complex systems ...
