The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Beyond the specimen: rethinking ornithological collecting in a changing world
Natural history collections underpin a wide range of ornithological research, yet the context in which they operate is rapidly changing. Advances in genomics, digitization and analytical approaches are transforming what can be learned from specimens, while accelerating environmental change is increasing the need for temporally explicit, integrative ...

Dual Host–Pathogen Screening of the Lung During Severe Influenza Using Spatial Transcriptomics
We performed genome‐wide spatial transcriptomics at 10 μm resolution on the lungs of mice infected with influenza A virus. We utilised publicly available scRNAseq reference datasets to identify cell types present. We found viral transcripts across all detected cell types, suggesting localised indiscriminate infection.

STAG Priming Preserves Paneth Cells and Limits Parasite‐Triggered Ileitis
Preservation of Paneth cells is associated with resistance to ileitis caused by Toxoplasma gondii. ABSTRACT Toxoplasma gondii triggered ileitis is a commonly used model for diseases affecting the small intestine, such as Crohn's Disease. Inflammation is primarily dependent on Th1‐mediated killing of Paneth cells, which consequently promotes intestinal ...

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Glass eels and viruses – a lesson learnt from stocking the eastern German Baltic Sea coast
Abstract Concerns about Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV‐1) in European eels, especially due to stocking measures, is increasingly coming into focus and raises questions regarding disease monitoring and prevention. In the past, stocking of AngHV‐1‐positive eels into waters assumed AngHV‐1‐free has led to a rapid increase of infected eels in the wild. For
