   IFI16, a nuclear innate immune DNA sensor, mediates epigenetic silencing of herpesvirus genomes by its association with H3K9 methyltransferases SUV39H1 and GLP

   Arunava Roy et al.

   The innate immune DNA sensor IFI16 is in association with H3K9 methyltransferases SUV39H1 and GLP under physiological conditions in the nucleus which facilitates the epigenetic silencing of foreign viral DNA.

   Mechanisms of virus dissemination in bone marrow of HIV-1–infected humanized BLT mice

   Mark S Ladinsky et al.

   Large-volume light microscopy combined with higher-resolution electron tomography revealed the spatial distribution of virus-producing cells and highlighted mechanisms of HIV-1 dissemination in bone marrow from a small animal model.

   A single clonal lineage of transmissible cancer identified in two marine mussel species in South America and Europe

   Marisa A Yonemitsu et al.

   A transmissible cancer that arose in a marine mussel spread from a single animal to become a global pathogen affecting two other mussel species in both Europe and South America.

    Bacterial survival in microscopic surface wetness

    Maor Grinberg et al.

    A new intricate reciprocity between microbiology and physics results in collective protection from desiccation through differential formation of stable microdroplets around bacterial aggregates on surfaces drying under moderate humidity.
