Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Specificity of a Neuraminidase Activity of Sendai Virus
SummaryThe pH optima for the neuraminidase activity of several myxoviruses were determined. The same pH optimum was found for Sendai virus grown in either egg or L cell and for NDV which is closely related to the former virus. However, the antibody prepared against the neuraminidase fraction of egg-grown Sendai virus showed an inhibitory effect only on

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

The transcriptional response of Drosophila melanogaster to infection with the sigma virus (Rhabdoviridae). [PDF]
Bacterial and fungal infections induce a potent immune response in Drosophila melanogaster, but it is unclear whether viral infections induce an antiviral immune response.

Human Pegivirus Type 1: A Common Human Virus That Is Beneficial in Immune-Mediated Disease?
Two groups identified a novel human flavivirus in the mid-1990s. One group named the virus hepatitis G virus (HGV) and the other named it GB Virus type C (GBV-C).

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

The Chikungunya Virus nsP3 Macro Domain Inhibits Activation of the NF-κB Pathway
The role of the chikungunya virus (CHIKV) non-structural protein 3 (nsP3) in the virus lifecycle is poorly understood. The protein comprises three domains.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

A comparative analysis of cowpox virus (CPV WT) and a deletion mutant lacking the gene encoding the inflammation modulatory protein (CPV IMP) [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 96-114).Cowpox virus has been found to encode the inflammation modulatory protein (IMP) (Miller, C.G., 1997), a homologue vaccinia virus complement control protein (VCP). VCP belongs to regulation of complement
