   Nanoscopy reveals heparan sulfate clusters as docking sites for SARS-CoV-2 attachment and entry

   Sue Han, Xin Wang ... Ling-Gang Wu

   Cell-surface heparan sulfate clusters, not the generally assumed ACE2, mediate SARS-CoV-2 attachment and endocytic entry, fundamentally revising the viral entry paradigm and establishing heparan sulfate as a primary therapeutic target.

    High-throughput quantification of population dynamics using luminescence

    Malte Muetter, Daniel C Angst ... Sebastian Bonhoeffer

    Tracking luminescent reporter light intensity is a fast, easy way to quantify population decline at high concentrations and tends to be a better proxy for biomass than for cell number.
