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.

We are writing to respond to comment by Sharma et al, 2024 on our article about the antimalarial drug tafenoquine.

We are writing to comment on the article by Watson et al., 2022 about the antimalarial drug tafenoquine.

Isw1 acts as a master regulator in modulating the expression of drug-resistance genes, and this regulatory mechanism is dependent on the interaction of Isw1 acetylation and ubiquitination.

Real-time visualization of Salmonella enterica and polarized macrophage interaction in the living host identifies an anti-inflammatory, pro-regenerative, and motionless macrophage subset as a survival niche during persistent infection.

Analyses of the stalked budding bacterium Hyphomonas neptunium and its spiral-shaped relative Rhodospirillum rubrum reveal a conserved morphogenetic module that controls the establishment of complex bacterial cell shapes.
