This study shows that NINJ1 restricts HSV-1 entry in mouse macrophages, reducing viral infection and associated inflammation.

This study shows membrane tension drives NINJ1 filament opening, causing cell lysis, and explains why NINJ2 fails to form lesions.

This study identifies key residues in SARS-CoV-2 nsp1 that regulate host and viral mRNA translation, revealing functional differences between these mRNA types.

The paper shows that mRNA decay during early apoptosis represses RNA polymerase II transcription, creating positive feedback that amplifies gene expression shutdown.

The paper shows that changes in mRNA decay alter RNA binding protein localization, linking cytoplasmic RNA degradation to transcription.
