The stability of ribonucleoprotein complexes of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins differs among variants of concern and the viral evolution of nucleocapsid protein can be understood in the framework of fuzzy complexes.

Increased fucosylated IgG and reduced bisecting GlcNAc during HTNV convalescence may promote rapid recovery from hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

The generation of malaria parasites expressing only one of the multiple variants of their most important virulence factor enables the study of different aspects of this virulence factor.

PLSCR1 is an IFN-λ-stimulated gene that enhances IFN-λR1 expression at both transcriptional and protein level, highlighting the potential for targeting PLSCR1 pathways in anti-influenza therapy.

Transposon sequencing analyses reveal that among genomically diverse clinical Mycobacterium intracellulare strains and the type strain, 131 genes were comprehensively identified as universal essential genes suggesting promising drug targets.

The T-shaped fold of an abundant surface protein ties streptococci to collagens, an interaction that enhances biofilm such as often found in invasive infections.

Deletion of specific herpes simplex virus proteins prevents the progression of virus assembly at discrete stages, allowing detailed 3D imaging of rare events in the morphogenesis of virus particles.
