This study identifies MMP9+ CD14+ myeloid cells as key drivers of UVB-induced IFN-I-driven inflammation in cutaneous lupus and dermatomyositis through a keratinocyte-fibroblast-myeloid circuit.

This paper uses CRISPR to test host factors affecting influenza A virus infection, finding that CMAS knockout and B4GALNT2 overexpression restrict IAV, while ADAR1 overexpression has a pro-viral effect on CVB.

This study identifies mutations to improve prime editing efficiency in low-dNTP environments by enhancing MMLV-reverse transcriptase and reducing SAMHD1 activity.
