This paper establishes the first reverse genetics system for a segmented negative-strand RNA plant virus, enabling molecular genetic analysis of its life cycle and pathogenicity.

This study shows HIV-associated extracellular vesicles enhance KSHV infectivity in oral epithelial cells via TAR RNA and EGFR, suggesting EGFR inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy.

This study identifies genome-wide nucleotide sites associated with mammalian virulence in influenza A viruses and develops machine-learning models to predict virulence.

The paper quantifies the mechanical properties of primary cilia by analyzing stochastic tip dynamics under different treatments, finding length-dependent flexural rigidity.

The paper identifies BAM1 as a positive regulator of RNAi cell-to-cell spread and shows that a viral protein inhibits this process by interacting with BAM1 and BAM2.
