The paper uses a non-toxic SM probe to show dynamic SM and cholesterol domains in the cytosolic leaflet of plasma membranes.

The paper identifies TRIM28, TRIM33, EHMT1, and EHMT2 as novel host factors involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection and shows that EHMT1/2 inhibition reduces viral growth and disease severity.

This study models virus evolution under different contact histories, finding that high-contact environments favor acute infections while low-contact environments favor persistent infections.

This study shows that a ban on wild bird imports in the EU increased captive parrot trade, facilitating the global spread of PaBV-4, a lethal parrot virus.

This study shows that cholesterol affects EGFR mobility, clustering, and signaling by altering membrane subdomain structure and lipid composition.

This study shows that manganese toxicity in rice reduces indole acetic acid levels, impairing stomatal function and CO2 assimilation, leading to growth defects.
