[Immunity] Scientists examined the mechanisms that control bacterial infection in the peritoneum using a mouse model of abdominal sepsis following intraperitoneal Escherichia coli infection.

[Journal of innate Immunity] Scientists focused on a family of S8 subtilisin-like serine proteases expressed as cell-envelope proteases (CEPs) by group A and group B streptococci.

[Nature Communications] The authors found that lung mesenchymal stromal cells at pre-metastatic stage possess potent metastasis-promoting activity.

[Blood] Scientists used high-resolution flow- and mass cytometry to examine NK cell repertoires in 64 patients with neutropenia and 27 healthy age- and gender-matched donors.

[Blood] The authors assessed the effects of Nox2 absence on monocyte-derived macrophages in gp91phox-/y mice during zymosan-induced peritonitis.

[Nature Communications] Pre-metastatic niche formation is critical for the colonization of disseminated cancer cells in distant organs. Researchers found that lung mesenchymal stromal cells at pre-metastatic stage possess potent metastasis-promoting activity.
