Fungal hyphae constantly undergo signal oscillations, comparable to a cell 'monologue' until they meet another hypha with which they then coordinate signal oscillations and transit into a cell-to-cell dialogue.

An inducible two-component CRISPR-based platform that rapidly repositions HSV-1 genomes to the nuclear edge unveils intranuclear space heterogeneity for the incoming viral genomes and dynamic stages of the host-virus interplay during early infection.

A single conserved residue – histidine 12 – confers pH-sensitive DNA binding to the Salmonella Typhimurium SPI-2 transcriptional regulator SsrB, thereby regulating Salmonella virulence.

Operating as a serum profiling tool for dengue infection and vaccination, the D2-FLM variant, which is insensitive to antibody-dependent enhancement-prone fusion loop antibodies, also offers potential for a safer dengue virus vaccine.

Genome-scale integration of transposon mutagenesis with a redox biosensor identified a hypothetical transcription factor- Rv0158 required to calibrate the growth, cytoplasmic redox potential, and respiration of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in response to metabolic switching from glucose to fatty acids.

An analysis of the largest Salmonella Typhi genome collection to date (n=13,000) provides an updated overview of global genome diversity and antimicrobial resistance trends over time to inform public health action.

Quantification of both viral transcription and progeny production from single influenza-infected cells shows that the cells that produce the most viral RNA often do not produce the most virions.

eLife has published a special issue containing articles that examine how cancer prevention, control, care and survivorship were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Two natural tannins, oligomeric proanthocyanidins and punicalagin, acted as potent inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 infection, and grape seed extract supplementation could serve as a healthy food for infection prevention.
