Ultrastructural identification and molecular characterization of two new parabasalid species that naturally colonize laboratory mice, Tritrichomonas musculus and Tritrichomonas casperi

The paper identifies and characterizes two new parabasalid species, Tritrichomonas musculus and Tritrichomonas casperi, found in laboratory mice using ultrastructural and molecular methods.

Novel Role of UHRF1 in DNA methylation-mediated repression of latent HIV-1

This study identifies UHRF1 as a novel mediator of HIV-1 latency through DNA methylation and shows its inhibition reactivates latent HIV-1 in patient cells.

Structure of an infectious mammalian prion

This paper determines the structure of an infectious mammalian prion using cryo-electron microscopy, revealing its fibril architecture and molecular features involved in propagation.

Mitophagy antagonism by Zika virus reveals Ajuba as a regulator of PINK1-Parkin signaling, PKR-dependent inflammation, and viral invasion of tissues.

This study shows ZIKV NS5 inhibits mitophagy by blocking Ajuba's role in PINK1-Parkin signaling, leading to increased inflammation and viral spread.
