   Candida albicans exhibits heterogeneous and adaptive cytoprotective responses to antifungal compounds

   Vanessa Dumeaux, Samira Massahi ... Michael T Hallett

   Candida albicans cells respond in two distinct ways to fluconazole exposure where cells enter the Ribo-dominant state characterized by an upregulation of ribosomal-related proteins and processes, or cells enter the Stress-dominant state characterized by the upregulation of stress responses.

   Apoptotic signaling clears engineered Salmonella in an organ-specific manner

   Taylor J Abele, Zachary P Billman ... Edward A Miao

   Clearance of engineered Salmonella which trigger regulated cell death is dependent upon the cellular 'bucket list,' which is determined both by cell death signaling pathway and by cell type infected.

   Lys417 acts as a molecular switch that regulates the conformation of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

   Qibin Geng, Yushun Wan ... Fang Li

   Lys417 regulates the opening and closing of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, allowing SARS-CoV-2 to maintain a delicate balance between infectiousness and evading host immune response.

   Diverse evolutionary pathways challenge the use of collateral sensitivity as a strategy to suppress resistance

   Rebecca EK Mandt, Madeline R Luth ... Amanda K Lukens

   The mutational flexibility of the antimalarial target dihydroorotate dehydrogenase thwarts the use of collateral sensitivity as a strategy to suppress the evolution of resistance.
