    A virus-packageable CRISPR screen identifies host factors mediating interferon inhibition of HIV

    Molly OhAinle, Louisa Helms ... Michael Emerman
    Host restriction factors that block cross-species transmission also play a role in limiting the replication of highly-adapted HIV-1 in IFN-stimulated cells.

    Chromerid genomes reveal the evolutionary path from photosynthetic algae to obligate intracellular parasites

    Yong H Woo, Hifzur Ansari ... Arnab Pain
    Analysis of chromerid algal genomes reveals how apicomplexans have evolved from free-living algae into successful eukaryotic parasites via massive losses and re-inventing functional roles of genes.

    Rubella virus tropism and single-cell responses in human primary tissue and microglia-containing organoids

    Galina Popova, Hanna Retallack ... Tomasz Nowakowski
    Combination of primary brain culture and single-cell RNA sequencing in brain organoids identifies microglia as the main target of rubella virus infection.

    Rapid and iterative genome editing in the malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi provides new tools for P. vivax research

    Franziska Mohring, Melissa Natalie Hart ... Robert William Moon
    Optimised genome editing in P. knowlesi enables transgenic expression of a lead P. vivax vaccine candidate, revealing roles in host cell tropisms and providing tools for scalable vaccine efficacy testing.

    T cell deficiency precipitates antibody evasion and emergence of neurovirulent polyomavirus

    Matthew D Lauver, Ge Jin ... Aron E Lukacher
    Loss of T cell control during persistent polyomavirus infection, in the setting of a limited antiviral antibody response, facilitates emergence of antibody-escape viruses carrying the potential for neurovirulence.

    Reactive oxygen species oxidize STING and suppress interferon production

    Lili Tao, Andrew Lemoff ... Tiffany A Reese
    Redox modification of STING represents a novel target for interferon regulation and control of herpesvirus replication.

    A transcriptomic atlas of Aedes aegypti reveals detailed functional organization of major body parts and gut regional specializations in sugar-fed and blood-fed adult females

    Bretta Hixson, Xiao-Li Bing ... Nicolas Buchon
    RNAseq profiles of female Aedes body parts, gut regions, and blood-fed guts provide insight into the anatomical patterning of immune and digestive function, and demonstrate the sequential induction of multiple peptidase cohorts over the course of blood meal digestion.

    Genetically manipulating endogenous Kras levels and oncogenic mutations in vivo influences tissue patterning of murine tumorigenesis

    Özgün Le Roux, Nicole LK Pershing ... Christopher M Counter
    Altering the level of different oncogenic mutants of Kras induces unique tumor patterns in mice, suggesting that tissue-specific responses mold the sensitivity of normal tissues to different oncogenic RAS mutations.

    Evolutionarily distant I domains can functionally replace the essential ligand-binding domain of Plasmodium TRAP

    Dennis Klug, Sarah Goellner ... Friedrich Frischknecht
    Exchange of the I domain in the Plasmodium surface protein TRAP against evolutionary distant I domains rescues infectivity of sporozoites.

    Dengue viruses cleave STING in humans but not in nonhuman primates, their presumed natural reservoir

    Alex C Stabell, Nicholas R Meyerson ... Sara L Sawyer
    An analysis of innate immunity reveals why dengue viruses do not reach high titers in primate laboratory models, even though they emerged through zoonotic transmission from primate reservoirs.
