  Bacterial inhibition of Fas-mediated killing promotes neuroinvasion and persistence

  Studies in a mouse model of neurolisteriosis show that the effector protein InlB produced by Listeria monocytogenes protects infected monocytes in the host from T cell-mediated cell death, and thereby increases bacterial neuroinvasion, persistence and transmission.

  Immunosuppressive CD71⁺ erythroid cells compromise neonatal host defence against infection

  In neonatal mice, susceptibility to infection is due to an enriched subset of arginase-2-expressing CD71⁺ erythroid cells, which suppresses the systemic activation of immune cells, thereby protecting neonates against aberrant inflammation triggered by colonization with commensal microbes.
