A novel function of Wag31 in membrane tethering and molecular dissection of the functions of its N- and C-terminal domains.

Secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor suppresses Borrelia burgdorferi infection-induced periarticular inflammation in mice by maintaining anti-protease–protease balance.

The SUN1-ALLAN complex serves as a nuclear envelope–spanning tether that coordinates the segregation of a bipartite microtubule organising center (MTOC) during the unusual mitosis of Plasmodium.

Resurrection of ancient forms of CD4 reveals how retroviruses have placed selective pressure on this gene in apes, acting to propagate infection-resistant alleles.

E3 ligases UBR5 and MARCHF7 restrict SARS-CoV-2 replications through targeting nsp16.

Time-lapse analyses of millions of antibiotic-stressed Escherichia coli characterize the diverse single-cell dynamics of persister cells that depend on antibiotics, culture conditions, and pre-exposure history.

Rtf1 HMD is related to H2B ubiquitination and its downstream H3K4 methylation in both C. neoformans and C. deneoformans, thereby affecting its yeast-to-hypha transition and virulence.

Transcriptomic profiling of HERV elements at the loci level differentiates ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and their overlap, revealing distinct immuno-epigenetic landscapes.
