Clathrin-Dependent Spiroplasma Entry into S2 Cells
2026-09-01
Wei et al. established a Drosophila Schneider 2 cell model to show that Spiroplasma eriocheiris invades insect cells, proliferates intracellularly, and induces substantial cellular injury. Pharmacological and cytoskeletal perturbation experiments implicate clathrin-mediated endocytosis, macropinocytosis, actin filaments, and microtubules in bacterial entry.

Cleavage-Resistant TREM2 and Macrophage Efferocytosis
2026-08-31
Dong et al. engineered a cleavage-resistant TREM2 receptor that preserves macrophage efferocytosis despite inflammatory ADAM17 activity. Their mRNA-loaded, phosphatidylserine-functionalized lipid nanoparticles generated the receptor in situ and reduced apoptotic-cell accumulation and inflammation in mouse models of MASH and atherosclerosis.
