Experiments involving periodic stimuli shed light on the interplay between hyper-osmotic stress and glucose starvation in yeast cells.

An experimental animal model provides further insights into the host and viral mechanisms underlying airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2.

Unveiling the intricate web of interactions between G4 structures and pathogenicity islands in 89 bacterial genomes significantly advances our understanding of bacterial virulence mechanisms.

Unraveling the ultrafast polar tube ejection in microsporidia reveals extreme cellular hydraulics, providing a data-driven model for infectious cargo transport, with implications for physical approaches to understanding microsporidia transmission.

SP1 serves as an important transcription factor in the regulation of ACE2 expression.

Genetic and biochemical analyses show that Chlamydia protects secreted effectors necessary for its exit from infected cells, preventing them from undergoing ubiquitination and degradation.

The anti-HIV drug lenacapavir breaks the HIV capsid by stabilising regions of low curvature at the expense of maintaining a closed shell, leading to loss of viral DNA synthesis and inhibition of infection.
