Heterogeneous efflux pump expression underpins phenotypic resistance to antimicrobial peptides

This study shows that subpopulations of stationary phase bacteria resist antimicrobial peptides through enhanced efflux and other mechanisms, and suggests combining tachyplesin with sertraline to combat resistance.

Human antiviral protein MxA forms novel metastable membrane-less cytoplasmic condensates exhibiting rapid reversible \"crowding\"-driven phase transitions

This study shows that the human antiviral protein MxA forms metastable cytoplasmic condensates that undergo rapid reversible phase transitions in response to osmotic changes.
