Sensory photoreceptors underpin light-dependent adaptations of organismal physiology,
development, and behavior in nature. Adapted for optogenetics, sensory photoreceptors …

Brain tissue has a remarkable ability to accumulate glutamate. This ability is due to
glutamate transporter proteins present in the plasma membranes of both glial cells and …

Mitochondria are central participants in a variety of cellular processes including ATP
generation, programmed cell death, signal transduction, and innate immunity …

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused millions of
human infections, and an effective vaccine is critical to mitigate coronavirus-induced disease …

Cytosolic DNA triggers innate immune responses through the activation of cyclic GMP–AMP
synthase (cGAS) and production of the cyclic dinucleotide second messenger 2′, 3′-cyclic …

DNA methylation was first described almost a century ago; however, the rules governing its
establishment and maintenance remain elusive. Here we present data demonstrating that …

Antibody-based interventions against SARS-CoV-2 could limit morbidity, mortality, and
possibly transmission. An anticipated correlate of such countermeasures is the level of …

All positive strand RNA viruses are known to replicate their genomes in close association
with intracellular membranes. In case of the hepatitis C virus (HCV), a member of the family …

A cofactor for HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus-type 1) fusion and entry was identified
with the use of a novel functional complementary DNA (cDNA) cloning strategy. This protein …

An estimated 170 million persons worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), a
major cause of chronic liver disease. Despite increasing knowledge of genome structure …
