   Intestinal GCN2 controls Drosophila systemic growth in response to Lactiplantibacillus plantarum symbiotic cues encoded by r/tRNA operons

   Théodore Grenier, Jessika Consuegra ... François Leulier

   Bacterial ribosomal and transfer RNAs are symbiotic clues sensed by host general control nonderepressible 2 to support Drosophila systemic growth.

   Role of cytoneme structures and extracellular vesicles in Trichomonas vaginalis parasite-parasite communication

   Nehuén Salas, Manuela Blasco Pedreros ... Natalia de Miguel

   Understanding communication mechanisms between unicellular parasites is crucial in the development of novel therapies, as they rely on diverse modes of communication (like extracellular vesicle release, cytoneme, and filopodia formation) to regulate their behavior and survival.

   Parasite Communication: Learning the language of pathogens

   Izadora Volpato Rossi, Marcel Ivan Ramirez

   Parasites can use extracellular vesicles and cellular projections called cytonemes to communicate with one another.

   Bacterial meningitis in the early postnatal mouse studied at single-cell resolution

   Jie Wang, Amir Rattner, Jeremy Nathans

   A model of early postnatal bacterial meningitis in the mouse demonstrates the transcriptome responses of each of the major meningeal cell types and should prove useful in dissecting the pathophysiology of bacterial meningitis in human infants.

   Regulation of inflammation and protection against invasive pneumococcal infection by the long pentraxin PTX3

   Rémi Porte, Rita Silva-Gomes ... Alberto Mantovani

   Long Pentaxin 3 is highly expressed by non-hematopoietic cells during Streptococcus pneumoniae invasive infections and regulates polymorphonuclear neutrophils' recruitment through interaction with P-selectin which damps inflammation-associated tissue damage and pneumococcal systemic dissemination.

    Phage tRNAs evade tRNA-targeting host defenses through anticodon loop mutations

    Daan F van den Berg, Baltus A van der Steen ... Stan JJ Brouns

    A new perspective on the 50-year old mystery of why phages encode their own tRNAs.
