Through their dedicated efforts and the support of TaskForce5, SusanTsutakawa and Jacek Wower have contributed to significantly advancing our understanding of the architecture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium is a common cause of hospital-acquired infections and poses a serious public health threat due to its evolving antibiotic resistance. Their work is a crucial step in combating this challenge. Read more here.Â
Youngchang Kim and Andrzej Joachimiak, with support from TaskForce5, contributed to this study in which the authors hypothesize that human antibodies may cross-react with SARS and MERS nucleocapsid targets. The study revealed distinct complement-determining regions and unique sets of epitope recognition within the complexes. This finding could be instrumental in the early detection of pathogens and the design of peptide-based vaccines. However, further characterization is needed to fully explore these implications.
